Mistakes
B.B.&Q BAND Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Gotta feel my pain on this one
Slatt
I keep a stick like a artist aye
Wonder what strings I'ma pick like guitarist
Been round the block and I know you a tourist
They talking down but they know that I'm arming
Shitting on niggas I don't need no Charmin
My designer I Drip in these garments
Devil been flipping the script with this karma
Fuck all the fame just give me my father
Baby don't wanna feel pain no more
Lot of this shit ain't the same no more
Trust me I been thru the rain before
I don't wanna feel this pain no more aye
Praying my soul you take
If I shall die fore I wake
It ain't no mistake
Don't wanna fade away
Hiding my pain today, yeah
I don't wanna go outside today
Wondering if I'ma die today
Nigga I might have to slide today
Stick in my hand I'ma find a way
Mamma I wish I could dry your face
Wish I could find a private place
Patek put away so my time is safe
Money could never heal time and space
I rather go reminisce in a wraith
I rather wake up and flip me a play
Niggas be hating a different day
Nigga I can't put the piston away
Look at my life I'ma piss it away
I'm on a mission to get it today
Purple it won't hide the pain today
Flooded my watch like a rainy day
DB said take you a chance
Went from the floor to a flight out to France
I took a risk and I double my bands
Double the block if we feel like he playing
I was just telling God about my plans
Manifestation
These conversations are sacred
Betting on me better take it to Vegas
Moving these keys like I'm playing for Reagan
I keep a stick like a artist aye
Wonder what strings I'ma pick like guitarist
Been round the block and I know you a tourist
They talking down but they know that I'm arming
Shitting on niggas I don't need no Charmin
My designer I Drip in these garments
Devil been flipping the script with this karma
Fuck all the fame just give me my father
Baby don't wanna feel pain no more
Lot of this shit ain't the same no more
Trust me I been thru the rain before
I don't wanna feel this pain no more aye
Praying my soul you take
If I shall die fore I wake
It ain't no mistake
Don't wanna fade away
Hiding my pain today, yeah
Remember when niggas was clowning me
Remember these niggas was doubting me
Word on the town they proud of me
Look at the love surrounding me
All the potential they found in me
Baby don't know how I made it
Some of our houses was vacant
Some of them houses got raided
In the dark I had a prayer
Praying to God for brighter days
Wishing I ain't have to light away
God it must be a brighter way
All of these niggas get dry erased
Just for the love of the bag
I gotta keep me a mag in place
I gotta key and half in the safe
Finessing a nigga like Madden plays
Damn
I was posted in trenches easy
Fourth and inches bet the gang believe me
Shit change why you came and leave me
I see pain just the same as Stevie
Wonder how life would be with peace
I gotta keep a piece with me
Mamma no need to grieve in me
I thank God you believe in me
I keep a stick like a artist aye
Wonder what strings I'ma pick like guitarist
Been round the block and I know you a tourist
They talking down but they know that I'm arming
Shitting on niggas I don't need no Charmin
My designer I Drip in these garments
Devil been flipping the script with this karma
Fuck all the fame just give me my father
Baby don't wanna feel pain no more
Lot of this shit ain't the same no more
Trust me I been thru the rain before
I don't wanna feel this pain no more aye
Praying my soul you take
If I shall die fore I wake
It ain't no mistake
Don't wanna fade away
Hiding my pain today, yeah
Slime




Ah, Shit
DB said take you a chance nigga

Every time I heard this jam play on the radio back in 1981, it always put me in a relaxing mood with a smile on my face. And it still does today --- 42 years later in 2023!

@sorenalarson

No music like it since - unreal

@sorenalarson

Something special about Brooklyn Bronx and queens 😊

@ricosuave1x

@allstarsports2374

Facts !!!!

@luissavoury9299

I still jam this song in Panama 🇵🇦, dj.lucho

@gjv2234

‘79-‘84 was an Unique period in the music industry. A lot of good soul and funk. This is one 👌

@cseatec

I couldn't agree more. I was just thinking that 1981 was probably my favorite. I was lucky enough to be able to spin this tune and many more from that era working as the DJ in the local roller skating rink. Talk about living the dream...back when I was much cooler than I am now. 😎😁

@mrmacfilms1

I agree!!!

@Pointmantheman896

This is a cover band
