Walkin'
C.C.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Put on my shoes bet dey walking in place Jump up, uh, uh, uh
Put on my shoe, bet day walkin in place Hop out, boom, boom, fa, face em
Ayy, Sharks, tuck me in
Put on my shoes bet day walking in place bum ass niggas couldn't even tie my lace
Don't wanna talk, bitch, I'm mad as the fuck And I know you can tell, you can see in my face
Was down on my luck, need a six or a eight
Codeine my cup, fell in love with the taste
Said that you better than me, just stop it You look in the mirror, all you see is hate
I look in the mirror and I'm seeing greatness
Ain dropped in a minute, sorry for the lateness
Niggas who do all that bragging and boasting aint really on shit, they really be the lamest
Play with me, you will not leave who you came with
Put all my hoes to the side, ain't no main bitch
I'm out the way, I ain't scared to lane switch
Big chop came with a Lu Kang kick
Gotta shooter one-eyed Luke Cage Use that bitch wrong, he gon' blow out your brain
Sometimes I get lost, feel like life is a maze still, I think life is amazing
Look at all the people that's changing their ways still, I'm remaining the same
Running from Jakes in this cold world No role models to blame
Look stupid, bitch, you is not my girl why is you saying my name
Hop on da dick, then do a twirl after that, get out my face
How the fuck you think that you can play me when, bitch, I been running the game
Ones, fives, tens, twenty, fifty, hundreds I love all my money the same
On some real shit, like how y'all been doing I know y'all going through pain
Don't know how to heal, I came a long way But still, I been feeling so drained
Yeah, I might trip, but I'll never fallI'm keeping my balance like canes
I know how it feel to really lose it all and have to go get it again
I had to go get it again
Put on my shoes, bet they walking in place
Bum ahh nigga couldn't even tie my lace
Don't wanna talk, bitch, I'm mad as the fuck
And I know you can tell, you can see in my face
Was down on my luck, need a six or a eight
Codeine my code, fell in love with the taste
Said that you better than me, just stop it
You look in the mirror, all you see is hate
I look in the mirror and I'm seeing greatness




And dropped in a minute, sorry for the lateness
Niggas who do all that bragging and boasting aint really on shit, they really be the lamest
