Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when you tell me what I wanna hear
You don’t have to explain how u feel
And you know u ain’t gotta split the bill
Yuupp
I don’t really love making promises
And when you tell me what I wanna hear
You don’t have to explain how u feel
Yuupp
Stayed down till I came up
Same niggas I had round dey den changed up
Dese bitches ain’t want me until I got my name up
So when we don’t fuck wit em wanna blame us
But shoulda stuck to everything dat you said
I got real niggas still hold it down out da feds
I don’t get upset now a days I just play it
Now dat I think about it bets believe I’m ahead
I don’t really love making promises
And when you tell me what I wanna hear
You don’t have to explain how u feel
And you know u ain’t gotta split the bill
Yuupp
I don’t really love making promises
And when you tell me what I wanna hear
You don’t have to explain how u feel
And you know u ain’t gotta split the bill
