Fuckin With A Criminal
C.O.P.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Getting ready to attack
Imma get the bag
And a couple new friends
Cut a couple off
Who were fuckin with my Zen
Just got to brush it off
Some people tryin to pretend
They ain't really tryin to be your friend
Put a gun up to your head if it came to it
Baby its a shark tank try not to get bit
I ain't gonna wait around like a piece of bait
Nah homie fuck that shit
We put some money in the bank
Put some more into a real good thing
She popping pussy at the party got tequila in her drink
Pocket full of dead names
Old faces, more franklins, still faithless
Invoices paid with loose change
There's always a new way to make a wave
Pouring more liquor in a hard drink
I'm goin hard today cause she a hot date
Fuck a wake and bake
I'd rather just wake up and get the cake
Baby take a minute, I just need a lil bit of space
The hell am I sayin
Can you come back and play?
You know damn well I can chase
I put my hair back
Getting ready to attack
Imma get the bag
And a couple new friends
Cut a couple off
Who were fuckin with my Zen
Just got to brush it off
Some people tryin to pretend
