Thoughts
Arti-Fix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I really thought you were best, until better came along
I really don't do the stress, I've been living my best life all along
Oh, working the job never seems to pay. Watching the clock never seems to stop
Paying the bills makes your money still. Barely surviving, lets just keep it real

How much is your time, really worth to you? How much does it cost, to make her do what she do
How long will it take, for me to get her lose ? Barely surviving, let us just be real
I really thought you were best, until better came along
I really don't do the stress, I've been living my best life all along

I really thought you were best, until better came along
I really don't do the stress, I've been living my best life all along
Lady in red, come and talk to me. Give me a hand, take a walk with me
Tell me again, where do you want to be. He'll understand, why you have to leave

Barely surviving, let's just keep it real
Girl its your day, and its your night too? Extend your legs, and let me take off your shoes
Show me again, how far I can go with you
I really thought you were best, until better came along

I really don't do the stress, I've been living my best life all along




I really thought you were best, until better came along
I really don't do the stress, I've been living my best life all along
