Now and Then
Big K.R.I.T. Feat. Slim Thug Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nightlife be buzzing around you
Open up a window soon
Wonder if it might rain tomorrow
Maybe in the afternoon
Nobody knows nothing anyhow
Don't you think that it's so nice tonight
Trouble is I ain't a good mind reader
But I hope it all goes your way soon
Hope it all goes your way now and then

Now and then

Nightlife be buzzing around you
Open up a window soon
Wonder if the sun will shine tomorrow
Maybe in the afternoon
Nobody knows nothing anyhow
Don't you think that we can do much better
Trouble is I ain't a good mind reader
But I hope it all goes your way soon
Hope it all goes your way now and then

Now and then




Now and then
Now and then
