Dark A.T.8 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want the new not the old you
So baby I hope that you come through
Been trying to get to know
That pressure got me on yo menu
So won't you come and put the shit on me
So I could show you this ferocity
Wanna sing to you this new melody
While my ocean put you right back in your dreams yeah
What you gonna do when I get to you
I put my arms around you yes I do
Babe, you know your like my favorite song
I need someone to help me make it through
Tell you everything that I wanna know
Cause all I wanna do is follow you
You ain't gotta spend a life out on your own
Who gone get to know you better than I do
Damn, why you gotta be so fly
I just wanna take you home tonight
Damn, why you gotta be so fly
I just wanna take you home tonight
Don't hit me with that coffee shop attitude
This shit right here is pressure as we climb an altitude
It's only right baby I want my neck iced out
With these diamonds we created I'm tryna flex now
I'm moving on to doper shit
I'm tryna get out of my element
The way we moving weight
You would think this shit was heaven sent
God damn, why you gotta do it like that
How it feel when the pressure build
Oh my bad
Damn I think I fell in love again
Play to much, play much
I think I'm bout to go see him again
Have another lonely fling
Kind of love
Kind of love sick, and he problem got the remedy
I just want to take you
To a higher place
Things I wanna do to
You in my own space
Damn, why you gotta be so fly
I just wanna take you home tonight




Damn, why you gotta be so fly
I just wanna take you home tonight
