Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking bout conversation we once had
I don't think you know how this must feel
If you text me back I would front flip for real
Put you on map and you spin me like globe
So much for patience and taking it slow
I'm on my way can you please let me know, yeah
Ima bury my feelings in this dirty sprite
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Sometimes I don't feel alright
If I fuck right now then it's only outta spite
This one rare time two wrongs make right
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Fuck an interview
Only you in view
I done fucked a few
They ain't fuck with you
Got my family
They my remedy
They my remedy
For my sanity
I know, I know I'm crazy
This spliff and drink got me wavy
All this drip I must be navy
Feel like shit but I'm actin so gravy
When you left my world turned Hades
Everything turned dust like Halley
Think I might just text you maybe, think I might just
Ima bury my feelings in this dirty sprite
Ima burn your pictures and that's only right
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Sometimes I don't feel alright
If I fuck right now then it's only outta spite
This one rare time two wrongs make right
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Please don't it twisted
I got money I got vision I do big shit
When the liquor and the spirit get to mixing
I just wanna hold yuh down like I'm Gyptian
I keep running back my prescription
Im addicted baby
Please don't get too gassed cause that runs in my family
Brought me out my shell for a brand new body
I done took a loss but my get back is godly
Ahhh
You had problems with my posse
We were rockin masks way before we heard of Fauci
Thought it was a patch but you really movin past me
I was moving comfy now I'm back up on my lonely
Ima bury my feelings in this dirty sprite
Ima burn your pictures and that's only right
Sometimes I don't feel alright, no I don't, no I don't
Sometimes I don't feel alright, no I don't, no I don't
If I fuck right now then it's only outta spite
This one rare time two wrongs make right
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Sometimes I don't feel alright
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Alright alright alright
Alright
