Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fucking around get your ass kicked
Woah stop
Punch a bitch in the face get a nose job
Then I post up
At the cafe
There are things that I know that I can't say
Had a bad day
Bitches mad now
That they met me
Hater on the move
Now they on the sees
Tell the waitor I'll
Have another please
One by One gonna cut them down
Crossed off when they hit the ground
Don't stop till we take them out (take them out)
Do it One by One
One by One gonna cut them down
Crossed off when they hit the ground
Don't stop till we take them out (take them out)
Do it One by One
One by One, One by One
Do it One by One
One by One, One by One
Do it One by One
Doctor doesn't know what he's talking about
I was on the pills
And I'm off them now
Goin' up and out
Tryin' to clear my head
But then I can't hear what my mind said
Nigga playing with the mini cake
What you want?
On a hunt and I tell it to them upfront
What looking at me crazy like I got guns
And you go and act like you ain't got one
One by One gonna cut them down
Crossed off when they hit the ground
Don't stop till we take them out (take them out)
Do it One by One
One by One gonna cut them down
Crossed off when they hit the ground
Don't stop till we take them out (take them out)
Do it One by One
One by One, One by One
Do it One by One
One by One, One by One
Do it One by One
One by One
There are things that I know that I can't say
But then I can't hear what my mind says
There are things that I know that I can't say
But then I can't hear what my mind says
There are things that I know that I can't say
But then I can't hear what my mind says
There are things that I know that I can't say
But then I can't hear what my mind says
One by One gonna cut them down
Crossed off when they hit the ground
Don't stop till we take them out (take them out)
Do it One by One
One by One gonna cut them down
Crossed off when they hit the ground
Don't stop till we take them out (take them out)
Do it One by One
One by One, One by One
Do it One by One
One by One, One by One
Do it One by One
I bet I can't hear what my mind says
One by One
Do it One by One
I bet I can't hear what my mind says
One by One
Do it One by One
