D.J.Disco Dance Feat Trance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back then they used to laugh then I had to show up
Fake love in my face made me wanna throw up
Gotta keep my circle tighter every time I glow up
People come around when the money go up
Back then they used to laugh then I had to show up
Fake love in my face made me wanna throw up
Gotta keep my circle tighter every time I glow up
It feel like Cupid hit a stain and he shot like dame
Ain't no more sunshine in the clouds yo loving made it rain
Wish I was there to see you smile I went through that pain
Remember you rocking the red chucks bloody red like ketchup
I lost my uncle I was head struck told me keep my head up
You made a promise to me told me you would never give up
You on my couscous when I lay down make it hard to to sit up
You was just my main addiction
Popping out I'm sliding wit you
Pokémon I gotta get you
Hiding out I'm hiding with you
Gotta plan I'm plotting with you
I ain't gone lie I miss you
I wipe my eyes with tissue
Houston we gotta issue
Jogging like I'm Tyreek I peace out to all my homies
I just want somebody to hold on to when I'm lonely
All that hate addicting got you smoking on that
Phony
Bull shit in the air he hit a square I smoke a stoney
It's a shame we only get one life
And it's a shame we only get get one try
And it's a shame of what money could buy
Shit ain't the same so I'm still asking why
I can't maintain with all these flashing lights
Bury my pain and dilate my eyes
Bury my name and hold my head up high
Love in my veins but all my loving died
People come around when the money go up
Back then they used to laugh then I had to show up
Fake love in my face made me wanna throw up
Gotta keep my circle tighter every time I glow up
People come around when the money go up
Back then they used to laugh then I had to show up
Fake love in my face made me wanna throw up
Gotta keep my circle tighter every time I glow up
