C. Armstrong & A.R. Rahman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She bad & she know it
Looking back
Imma catch when she throw it
My feelings attached
Kinda hard not to show it
(YEAHH)
Battle Scars
You cut me deep, left it open
I had it hard, wouldn't believe if I told ya'
Right or wrong
Still seen the flaws & I chose ya'
(YEAHH)
She bad & she know it
Looking back
Imma catch when she throw it
My feelings attached
Kinda hard not to show it
(YEAHH)
Battle Scars
You cut me deep, left it open
I had it hard, wouldn't believe if I told ya'
Right or wrong
Still seen the flaws & I chose ya'
(YEAHH)
Thinking bout you, I sit back & I reminisce
Feeling this
Writing these songs hope you hearing it
Killing it, hitting it, quitting it, still in it
I'm slipping yo thong to the side while I'm drilling it
I can see all in yo' eyes who you really is
Don't be the reason why I need my distance
You call me, I'm picking my phone up that instance
I'm sorry, but I can not give you forgiveness
In the party while I take prescriptions
Washing it down take a shot of some liquor
& my feelings start to get thinner, & thinner
I hit from the back, make her thicker, & thicker
Uh Huh, my flow make you biddy bop
Uh Huh, I want me a silly watch
Laughing while I count the money, that's silly guap
Lost my count
Okay, back to the tippy top
Uh Huh, my flow make you biddy bop
Uh Huh, I want me a silly watch
Laughing while I count the money, that's silly guap
Lost my count
Okay, back to the tippy top
In the party while I take prescriptions
Washing it down take a shot of some liquor
& my feelings start to get thinner, & thinner
I hit from the back, make her thicker, & thicker
Thinking bout you, I sit back & I reminisce
Feeling this
Writing these songs hope you hearing it
Killing it, hitting it, quitting it, still in it
I'm slipping yo thong to the side while im drilling it
I can see all in yo' eyes who you really is
Don't be the reason why I need my distance
You call me, I'm picking my phone up that instance
I'm sorry, but I can not give you forgiveness
She bad & she know it
Looking back
Imma catch when she throw it
My feelings attached
Kinda hard not to show it
(YEAHH)
Battle Scars
You cut me deep, left it open
I had it hard, wouldn't believe if I told ya'
Right or wrong
Still seen the flaws & I chose ya'

My feelings attached
Kinda hard not to show it

Battle Scars
You cut me deep, left it open
I had it hard, wouldn't believe if I told ya'

Still seen the flaws & I chose ya'
