It's Over
Black And White Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brought to you by the Butcher, nigga
(These are the real Sopranos)
(Cannon)
Was takin' penitentiary chances, now they hit us with advances
Got them niggas mad, hatin', can't stand it
Down bad, I ain't panic, now I'm doin' shits with Don Cannon
Hit the coke with Arm & Hammer, came so hard we need a hammer
Play the crack house with cop scanners
Known for sellin' glass, every gram I cook sold fast
Quarter brick and a vision where it glass
Runnin' from my past, Henny to the top of the glass
Won't stop 'til I'm top of my class
Had a Glock in the stash, next to a box full of cash
Hit a lick, used a stocking for a mask, this real shit
Rumors spread from the ones I used to chill with
Get fake vibes from niggas I kept it real with
We was ridin' four deep, tryna kill shit
Blow a nigga brains out and don't feel shit (Sopranos)
2015 was the year, no regrets, no fears
We was running through the dope
I turned 80 into hope
Plus I showed these motherfuckers they ain't wavy as the GOAT
Now the label pay me for my quotes
Plus I'm flyin' in with elbows like I'm jumpin' off the ropes
All this money I'ma gross, I can feel it gettin' close
You can call me Raekwon 'cause I'm comin' with the Ghost
They was callin' me a legend 'fore a nigga even spoke
They'll be callin' for the reverend if I hit you with this toast (Cannon)
I say the word and the apes all come out
Now it's shells everywhere like a baseball dugout
It was grams everywhere 'til the eighths all run out
Uh, I prophesize my profit rise
I can't concern myself with y'all like it's ostracized
Every two or three thousand gave me the cautious vibes
But I been backed up
Soon as the ink dried, I was ten racks up
I'ma make another 60 on 'em, then stack up (yeah)
Black Soprano for the win, nigga, fin
Better save more than you spend, stack up and do it again, nah
You was only good for a season like Jeremy Lin
Both hands wasn't enough to count it, needed a twin
Decorated the garage with horses like Ralph Lauren
My train of thought still stuck on all the cocaine I bought
I don't get into to all of that famous talk, disposable cash
We unapproachable, sociopaths
A run-in with us supposed to go bad, but I evolved
Now look at me, I'm a boss, gotta book me with all my dogs
Chose the streets 'cause she the one, took me with all my flaws
Why listen to fools talkin'? In kitchens, I'm moonwalkin'
Feds hate, there's red paint on all of our shoe arches
Every house on my block was hot 'til I moved off it
Like Drew Brees, I took the lead with a few tosses
New charges, it ain't over though, it's just beginning
I'm Curt Shilling, lookin' from the dugout, goin' for extra innings
I turned my hobby to a separate business
Sick of those detective visits, poppin' up at shows just to question niggas
Who knew the game ain't have an exit in it?
I took a fork, whipped it once, when it stiffened up, I left it in it
Let's talk bags I got in mind today
I wrote this verse in the shirt I had on when I signed to Jay
It's over, ah
(These are the real Sopranos)
And like that, we gone

Ian Williams
Your baby doesn't love you any more
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more
It's over
It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do?
When she says to you
There's someone new
We're through, we're through
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

Unlike most singers, Roy Orbisons voice just got better as he got older. Amazing. Still one my all time favorite singers. Unmatched talent.

I agree by and large, but I like Patsy Cline's voice too.
Kyle Andrew Smith Macpherson
Exactly right! That’s where I’m at right now. I’ve been listening to Roy’s solo work and also his work with the Traveling Wilburys non-stop.
