Attitude
Brandon Taylor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t really wanna fight with you
I’m just tryna spend the night with you
But you always got an attitude
You want me to spend my life with you
I don’t really wanna fight with you
I’m just tryna spend the night with you
But you always got an attitude
You want me to spend my life with you

Oh oh

I’m a piece of shit you don’t gotta fuckin’ remind me
Try to make me jealous when postin’ up on your IG
One day you get mad and then say you fuckin’ despise me
Then you wanna chill then you come on over and ride me
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Is it cuz I make you laugh a lot?
Is it cuz I get you high like the astronauts?
I know you got some bad habits that you have to stop
Doing lines off a round table like it’s Camelot
I don’t really do drugs I just make songs
These rappers just a bunch of knuckleheads, Raekwon
I called them all out but they ain’t say none
You know I gotta give a shoutout to my day ones
When I’m feeling sad I always fly south stuntin'
Made thousands off of music I ain’t crying bout nothing
¿Cómo puedes estar deprimido on vacation?
I’m so fuckin close now I know that I’m gon’ make it

I don’t really wanna fight with you
I’m just tryna spend the night with you
But you always got an attitude
You want me to spend my life with you
I don’t really wanna fight with you
I’m just tryna spend the night with you
But you always got an attitude

You want me to spend my life with you
Oh oh
