Obsession
Chase & Status & Tinie Tempah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, ah
I think my reflection is relatively jealous of me
That's all, twittering on my apple hoping I don't get hassled
Before I reach my goal lots of people had to be tackled
I don't jump on anybody's band wagon or saddle
I'm X-rated I'm adult-rate, this ain't the Disney channel
I'm hotter than a candle wick, I'm fire
Closer to everything I desire
'Cause I don't listen to doubt, doubt is a liar
Stop acting like a bitch, don't be Mrs. Doubtfire
Ain't no get no flyer fam I'm on the cloud higher
Higher, higher, higher
Different vehicles same tires
I turn quiet into riot, listen to my silence

This is like a curse, this is like a blessin'
I can hear your voice, I can feel your presence
You keep me confused, you keep me guessin'
But I'm back for seconds it's an obsession
It's an obsession, It's an obsession
This is like a curse this is like a blessin'
But I'm back for seconds, It's an obsession

P.O.M me, her mill bringin' the medley
Hot MC over any, I'm cold, cold as February
Repress my oldest memories, I hoovered them with a Henry
Now they're gone, the no longer exist, you get me?
I'm standin' with a Remy and a bag full of twenties
Talkin' to somethin' sexy, I'ma hit it if she lets me

Don't judge me til you've read me
'Cause 9 times outta 10, I don't even get me
But I'm ready, or not, hear I come
Wherever you hide, I bet you I'ma find ya
I am not a skateboard dubber I'ma grinda
So quiet into riot, listen to my silence

This is like a curse, this is like a blessin'
I can hear your voice, I can feel your presence
You keep me confused, you keep me guessin'
But I'm back for seconds it's an obsession
It's an obsession, it's an obsession
This is like a curse, this is like a blessin'
But I'm back for seconds, It's an obsession

Obsession, the kid with lots of questions
Take take note life is just a long lesson
My daddy was present, but sometimes forgot my presents
Like when I was seven, uh

Helicopters revvin', posh wedding's
One well expensive watch, lots
Everyday, I'm on leggy blonds who put on wedding rings
But after one heavy drink I on anything
So while they make me feel so used for that sued for
Doors racin' through my mind like a new Porsche with the roof off
Every single time I rhyme, it's science
I turn quiet into riot, listen to my silence

This is like a curse, this is like a blessin'
I can hear your voice, I can feel your presence
You keep me confused, you keep me guessin'
But I'm back for seconds it's an obsession
It's an obsession, it's an obsession




This is like a curse this is like a blessin'
But I'm back for seconds, it's an obsession
