BIRDZ Feat. Rick Ross
Denzel Curry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lets start it over
I, a Jehovah
Come take a look at my city and its culture
City full of vultures, city full of zo's
City full of gangsters, that's sticking to the code
Everybody thinking they know me, for real?
'Cause they only see me on the poster, for real
Don't test my dogs, they got holsters, for real
Fuck a pop tart, we carry toasters, for real
Aim, cock back shoot at lames
Name, unknown we are not the same
Shame, on a brrr, tryna run game
We was able to sell it, now my city serve cane

Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck
Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck

Living on a limb, but I'm blowing hemp
You see the limo tinted, never know its him (Woo)
Cocaine wraps in the Cadillac (Cocaine)
I got lil homie with me, city on our backs (Denzel)
Always been a loner cause I'm so rebellious
Pulling on a bong make me feel angelic
Penning a memoir, pray I live to tell it
Never will I tell it, that's considered callous
Vroom vroom vroom bitch we on a move (Vroom)
Snort a line of this and I bet you clean your room (Haha)
Mansions in Atlanta, trophy on a mantel
Long live my nigga Nipsey, light another candle

Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck
Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck

Butterfly doors keep the birds chirpin (Woah)
Big tall bat like I'm in a circus (Yeah)
Pray I keep it all, like the sun is service (Woo!)
My pastor making dollars like he Erick Sermon
Lord forgive me for my tendencies, yeah
Got an evil plan for my mini me's, yeah
See Ben has got to grow, time to plant a seed, yeah
It's time to make compost of my enemies, yeah
My city full of palm trees, and bad bitches
You see? if your dog green its bad bidness
You see? if its all green, they all switching
We lost, and by all means, we all missing

Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none




Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck

[Verse 1: Denzel Curry]
Let's start it over

City full of gangsters that's stickin' to the code
Everybody thinking that they know me for real
'Cause they only seen me on a poster for real
Don't test my dawg, they got holsters for real

Name unknown, we are not the same
Shame on a brrt tryna run game
We was able to sell it, now my city serve 'caine

Never will I tell it, that's considered careless (Woo)
Vroom, vroom, vroom, bitch, we on a move (Vroom)

@maxidkwuthislastnameis8733

Hackersky best night song out of all

@fingersonfire4gh

Going off that i was going to comment on here already but saw your comment about nfs heat which by the way is a FANTASTIC game. Lol i maxed out already though and beat the story. :/ I’m ready for more! But anywho, i was going to say i think Zuu would have also been a good song for this game. That would have done so well. Imagine if that drop in the song kicks in while you are getting chased by cops.

@maxidkwuthislastnameis8733

fingersonfire4gh that’s one thing I don’t like bout nfs heat...short story!
