Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel better when I'm next to you
You keep giving me the best of you
That's why I don't play when we goe out
I'mah keep us in the game we gon ball out!
I feel better when I'm next to you
You keep giving me the best of you
That's why I don't play when we goe out
I'mah keep us in the game we gon ball out!

For I'll do it big nothing micro
You know I goe psycho
Cause you been here since I had high hopes
When it was jus survival
Now I ride slow, in something that make him feel pitiful
But you in the Jimmy Cho
You walk in em like tennis shoes
And I been a dude, yet I'm still the same
That'll fill the plate
Can't feel my face
But I can feel the drain
Lil bitch act lik she knows what at stake
In the bed she ah Tiger off the Tony she's Greeaatt!

I feel better when I'm next to you
You keep giving me the best of you
That's why I don't play when we goe out
I'mah keep us in the game we gon ball out!

Bonnie to my Clyde but ain't B or Jay-Z
For the love of money we run shit and play deep!
These ain't no fake deeds we went out these accounts
The bitch like Melissa (Ford) make you "knock yoself out"
Classy but ah thug bitch if worth it
She nasty she rub her clit while I murk it!
You catch us surfing through emotions
They say timing everything she jus waiting on her moment!

I feel better when I'm next to you
You keep giving me the best of you




That's why I don't play when we goe out
I'mah keep us in the game we gon ball out!
