Bounce
B. Calloway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been on my wave
If you hate
You can say something
On another page
I can't wait
Ima blaze something
Life make lemonade
How it tastes
Lemme say something
Nothing in my way
MMA
Lemme break something
Get all in my face
Catch my case
Then run away from me
Please don't look away
Gimme space
But still relate to me
Harlem when it shake
Need my space
Just take a break from me
How you feel I'm great
Running late
And I ain't running

Please don't stop me shit is gettin' thrown out
Float like water bed float like on boat house
Can't keep it inside she gotta go out
She let me inside what comes up goes down

Back to the basics
Swipe no profile
She actin persuasive
Invite me to your house
Actual greatness
Act like you made it
I'm back it's amazing
Never lost so never found

Please don't stop me shit is gettin' thrown out
Float like water bed float like on boat house
Can't keep it inside she gotta go out
She let me inside what comes up goes down
Bounce bounce (Bounce)
Bounce bounce (Bounce)
Can't make me bounce
I brought the ounce
Oh wow she said she's tryna' bounce
Bounce bounce
Bounce bounce
Bounce bounce

Why you had to make it so impossible
I don't know
How far this goes
Shouldn't let it go
But I let it go
Let it go
Let me smoke
Let do this my own
Different views different coasts
Let me go
Let me go
I don't know
How far this goes
Just let me go
Let me go

Back to the basics
Swipe no profile
She actin persuasive
Invite me to your house
Actual greatness
Act like you made it
I'm back it's amazing
Never lost so never found

Let me go (Let me go)
Let me go (Let me go)
Far away
Let me go (Let me go)
I'll let you know (I'll let you know)
How far away
Le-Le-Let me go (Let me go)
Let me go (Let me go)
Far away
Let me go (Let me go)




I'll let you know (I'll let you know)
How far away
