BACK-ON Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We dont see eye 2 eye but she still tryna face me
Hoe gone off the perk ni she tryna rape me
Opps got lead but no pencil they tryna erase me
We dont see eye to eye but she still tryna face me
Smokin this strong hope the plug dont lace me
That bitch off the perk ni she tryna rape me
See too much love so somebody must hate me
We skii’d up with sticks like we on the slope

He took it to trail and got hung by the rope
Im droppin this clean
Im servin em dope
Free my dawgs out them chains Pray they didnt lose hope
We gone slide like we skate
Pour up the mud to reach outter space
Too much love so here come the hate
Smokin strong tryna ease the pain
Dont switch lanes while you road runnin
My only focus is the blue hunnids
She on the roxy tryna fuck sumn
He try to rob imma buss sumn
I got that sack like the left tackle
You gettin flipped tryna tongue wrestle
Extended clips without the extra time
Try to run off hollows eatin spines
Free my brothers free my kind
Long live the ones who left before there time
Fuck the ones who left for dropping dimes
Youngins skii’d up kno he finna slide
We dont see eye to eye but she still tryna face me
Smokin this strong hope the plug dont lace me
That bitch off the perk ni she tryna rape me
See too much love so somebody must hate me
We skii’d up with sticks like we on the slope
He took it to trail and got hung by the rope
Im droppin this clean

Im servin em dope
Free my dawgs out them chains Pray they didnt lose hope
