Intro
Barney Artist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stretch you like limo
Bristles like a Brillo pad
Simple math add to equations
To minus what they subtract
You rapper whack
Big Barns back in flesh like I been stabbed
What’s a knife wound
spit a bar that slice through
Got Layers like a triffle
Sweeter then some jelly
I’m Steady my brothers ready
We Heavy you like confetti
We sit you down like a settee
Oh
Petty oh
Brother I’ve been seminal
Since kiddy school
Law of attraction
My passions always been bending rules
Send me jewels
Crown me in this shit
Rowdy I’m moving loudly coz I’m proud to be legit
Round me surround me and they hound for me to spit
Profoundly they astound me coz they down for me to quit
I ain’t quiter a
bredda
You little boys should know better
Whenever the weather
Barneys Like an umbrella
Thought we was done
I tie one and then I pour me some rum
I knock it back with a force of a gun
So what’s cracking Manik Rapping with the writtens li
ke a horse on a run
I spit the fire on the mic like I was born on the sun
Lost in a daze
I twist it in impossible ways
I spent my teenage years lighting up or lost in a rave
What can I say
Felt brave so I hoped on the stage
I took you higher on the
mic like I’m tropical haze
I’m raising the stakes
Tired of just scraping my plate
Tired of plotting on a miracle to make my escape
The politicking might make me insane
But somehow my inner fire still remaining the same
There’s no debate
So I think yo
u best just stay in your lane
Coz we’ve been tryna craft art
These whack rappers they’re just playing for fame
