Sucker
Clique Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

keep it real
stay in school
till you cant
its hard to concentrate sometimes
work is hard
when you're so high
the drugs won't keep you going
for as long as you would like
you're just a sucker
you say in the mirror to yourself
give up, you're done trying now
you motherfucker
you say to the person parallel
clean up or die trying




'cause there's an early grave
with your name
