Don't Stop
Blackbear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Skrrt, skrrt

I think I drank too much last night
Too much Grey Goose, better yet, champagne
Still afraid of goin' up too fast, slowin' down too soon
Now I know that money, cars and fame make a broke girl rude
But it's your daddy's job to take care of you
So call me big papa, don't stop-a
This shotta, this Remy, the movie just started
Keep doin' what it is you do
Lights, camera, action, I'm distracted imaginin' you

Oh girl don't stop what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin'
Don't stop what you're doin' right now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Please don't stop this party
Please don't stop this alcohol
You know I got money
You know I'm finna blow it all
If you don't stop what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin'
Don't stop what you're doin' right now
Don't stop, don't stop, don't

Hollup
I wake up feelin' like hundreds of millions of dollars, I'm just vibin'
Shout out to every major label, suit and collar
On their Blackberry phones in my meetings
Look who ain't pickin' up when you callin'
I made this mil' with Tabari
And now they sayin' we a problem, right?
And she gon' pop it for a young white boy who can sing
Fuck around, do it for the whole team
Buy a couple bottles, but we drinkin' in the stu'
Workin' hella late, goddamn where was you?
Used to roll your eyes, now you're lurkin' every day
See me gettin' mines, everybody wanna say

Don't stop what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin'
Don't stop what you're doin', white boy
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Please don't stop this party
Please don't stop this alcohol
You know I got money
You know I'm finna blow it all
If you don't stop what you're doin'
Stop what you're doin'




Stop what you're doin'
Don't stop what you're doin' right now, now, now

@rafaelpacheco1377

Every song of his is unique, I love the fact that he does have acoustic versions for a few songs. He is a beast, but i think this is number 1 on my list....possibly
