Adios
D.O.G (Delusion Of Grandeur) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Adi Adios to myself and my foes
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
Reaper called
Leave a message at the tone
Can I borrow
Time from ya?
Please call me back though
I'm on ya

Pick up the phone
Dice on ya
Tick - Tock better roll
Big pot
I don't ever dispatch cronies
Dying since the day that you were born so you owe me
Adi Adios to my coattails
Adi Adios to my old self
Adi Adios to my coattails
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We say
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We Say
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We say
Hey hey hey
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We say, we say, we say
Hey
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
Nominated on the basis that I'm breathing and I'm facing quite a sentence that's a no go
That's a cold deal
Prosecutor making faces pacing everything I say you say verbatim and we go home
Nigga that's the deal
You're the one who signed up
Before
The drop-out from the small house
Going down line up for the combi
Even way before Mom Pap had Stars and another son
Adi Adios to my coattails
Adi Adios to my old self
Adi Adios to my coattails
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We say
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We Say
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We say
Hey hey hey
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
We say, we say, we say
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
Own nothing, nothing
Possess nothing, nothing
Price tag on my bones and my soul
So
Own nothing
Possess nothing
Price tag on my bones and my soul
So
Don't own anything
I don't have anything
Adi Adios to myself and my foes
Don't own anything

I don't have anything
Adi Adios to myself and my foes

Adi Adios to myself and my foes
Saying goodbye to my old self and enemies

Reaper called
The inevitability of death is here

Leave a message at the tone
Death is calling, but I'm not picking up

Can I borrow Time from ya?
Asking for more time to live

Please call me back though I'm on ya
Urging death to wait a little longer

Pick up the phone Dice on ya Tick-Tock better roll
The game of life is on and time is running out

Big pot I don't ever dispatch cronies

The justice system is harsh, and the prosecutor is determined to put me away

Nigga that's the deal You're the one who signed up

Before The drop-out from the small house Going down line up for the combi Even way before Mom Pap had Stars and another son
I come from humble beginnings and have been in the game for a long time

I have nothing to my name, except for my life and soul

Don't own anything I don't have anything Adi Adios to myself and my foes
I let go of all my material possessions and my enemies, and embrace my impermanence
