Careless
Beez & Gonzo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't really care what you've been up to now
But once we were up to no good at all, no good at all
I don’t really care what you've been up to now
But once we were up to no good at all
It was so good 'till the fall
What’s the matter with loving you
Been out for one or two moves in the games you been playing I don’t know the rules
So long overdue to break it all off
Cause we ain’t really talking lately at all
Ain’t taking my calls, evading yours
Dammit I hate the riddles, I been off a little bit
Tossed in the thick of it
Lost in the middle with the cough syrup kicking in to relax
Maybe we run it back like a relapse
Baby I'm still a fiend for that rematch
I could hit it from the back damn I need that
You know it’s only for the night then I'm leaving
Only for the night, only for the night
Yeah it’s only for the night them I'm leaving
I been waiting on a sign, something telling me it’s time to go
But no, line's been drawn, I know
Lucky that I stayed alive
Just don't act so damn surprised that I made it
That state of mind is contagious, yeah
Everything ain’t what it seems I might break at the seams
I don’t pray to G-O-D in the sky
I don’t wait for my piece of the pie
Imma take what I need not just taking what’s mine
Don't care what you see I don't fake for the lines
Don’t fake for my pride stay in shade for the
Kind of shit that could blind me
Divide my mind, compromise what my eyes see
I shine so divinely it’s blinding get by me
I'm LT in, '92 still refining I'm finding I'm
Finely tuned I don't, mind the blues
Cause I find myself when there’s, nothing to lose
I keep it a hundred proof, this bomb ain't getting defused
And still I'll finish the missions I'm given like Tom Cruise
Always finding the loot, always trynna get through to you
But you ain't got a clue and it’s throwing me for a loop, yeah
I don't really care what you've been up to now
But once we were up to no good at all, no good at all
I don’t really care what you've been up to now




But once we were up to no good at all
It was so good 'till the fall
