Don't
Anouk & Live Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make a wish on a star you may get what you ask for.
Say a prayer guarantee you gone get what you pray for.
Its a lot that we wish but a lot we don't pray for.
Yo we pray for our stress but happiness we don't pray for.
We don't pray anymore.
Make a wish on a star you may get what you ask for.
Say a prayer guarantee you gone get what you pray for.
Its a lot that we wish but a lot we don't pray for.
Yo we pray for our stress but happiness we don't pray for.
Is it too sunny to appreciate the light outside.
It's too hot, It's happiness
Its so different than the night.
The stars in the sky keep the glowing, looking bright.
They sent a man to the moon to see what its like.
It's nothing like life.
Bro you can not live twice.
Life's a gamble got to roll the dice.
Seen a man die, in the street at the age 13
It changed my life.
So I bought a gun, My sister found it told on me
Snitching changed my life.
Now its paradise, I'm living in sky.
I'm feeling good
feeling fly , I guess its life.
Make a wish on a star you may get what you ask for.
Say a prayer guarantee you gone get what you pray for.
Its a lot that we wish but a lot we don't pray for.
Yo we pray for our stress but happiness we don't pray for.
When my daddy got shot, I almost started selling drugs.
They tried to cut the plug off but God extended his cord.
No safety glue needed but I stick to my guns.
Stick to my word name tag if you want.
Some say I'm real, Some say I'm not
Got to play your role to get your props.
In the way that I'm Feeling
I may start me a trend.
Got to have soul to flow like this.
This that 1996.
I'm a 90's baby, 90's kid.
A deep prayer bigger than a wish.
I'm telling y'all what time it is
hope y'all understand this.
y'all got more life to mange it.
Make a wish on a star you may get what you ask for.
Say a prayer guarantee you gone get what you pray for.




Its a lot that we wish but a lot we don't pray for.
Yo we pray for our stress but happiness we don't pray for.
