B.O.X. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your the melody in my head, that I cannot forget
Your the only way I can breath
But I'll be empty, not again…
I think I'm finna fly away
I do that shit like everyday
I've been smoking that is my way
I'm lighting up, I hit your bae
She's gon come out of my way

But I am still feeling grey
Ooh run up on me boy and I think you gon get a fade
Me and Tennants blowing up bitch we like a hand grenade
Drinking syrup, this shit is not lemonade
And I'm gonna hit your bitch and then we dance no promenade
I can't see a girl, none of them are heaven made
But that pussy I'm gon slay
Treat that shit like it's a game
Don't fuck with you boy
You are a goofy lame
Don't come up to me cause you do not know my name
Making all these bangers, turn it up
Bitch I need the gain
Feeling like Goku cause I think that I'm boutta go insane
Got the metal on my neck I think I'm feeling like I'm Pain
Me and Tennants blowing up I think we're gonna get the fame
Get the fame, get the fame
Look at me and Ghosted, we get a fade
Making a quick buck and get a play
Doing this shit, on the mic I slay
Put a tag on like it's jeans
Look at me and Ghosted, we on the screens
Aye and we is the teams (Literal dab up)
Dabbing that shit up we shooting, beams
Aye and we popping beans
Up in your nightmares, in your dreams
Like we Freddy
Hitting this shit, yea we slicing like machete
Aye and you ain't ready for shit
Texting your hoe, I text the bitch
Fuck fake friends they just pass then switch
Don't get caught in the mix
Don't do that shit yea
Your the melody in my head, that I cannot forget
Your the only way I can breath
But I'll be empty, not again…
I think I'm finna fly away
I do that shit like everyday
I've been smoking that is my way
I'm lighting up, I hit your bae

She's gon come out of my way
But I am still feeling grey
