Destroy Lonely Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Stack up the mula
I get that cash, need to keep moving, yeah
A thousand miles, and, man, I done popped a thousand Xannies
I can′t even move
I bet a thousand dollars on a dancer bitch
She'll slime you out without a tool
Lil′ nigga, yeah, you is a fool
See, we in the Best Buy, finna walk out
That's a couple thousand real smooth
Make some money off a little swoop, yeah
I told her that she can't get reapproved, yeah
Big B, alphabet soup, yeah
You see who I′m really rolling with, yeah
Black cherry, it′s all Activis, yeah
Black watch on my fucking wrist (Motherfucking wrist)
(Yeah)
Catch me giving back just to balance out
She get what she want or she finna pout
Chandelier like stars hanging in the house
See me slide in that Elon, bitch
Throw some racks on a peon bitch (Bitch)
You really think that I'm beyond living?
She don′t fuck, tell her begone, bitch
Yes, I'm gonna be beyond rich
Slime the world and say "fuck good karma"
Fuck 12, I don′t know nada
Put the bitch in some old school Prada
See, yeah, I'm a real rockstar
Rocking Fendi, you dig these, bitch?
Off the porch at 15, I did
I done went from a half to a zip
Every day, the money is what it is
I can′t play, I'm focused on money, bitch
He a clown, he be on some funny shit
I'm gon′ live forever like mummies did
Looking good everywhere, not no bummy shit
I′m in Cali, I'm smoking the finest gas
I might buy my lil′ bitch a designer ass
I can't never forget I was down bad (Down bad)
Stack up the mula
I get that cash, need to keep moving, yeah
A thousand miles, and, man, I done popped a thousand Xannies
I can′t even move
I bet a thousand dollars on a dancer bitch
She'll slime you out without a tool
You fell in love with that thot, she stole your heart
Lil′ nigga, yeah, you is a fool
See, we in the Best Buy, finna walk out
That's a couple thousand real smooth
Make some money off a little swoop, yeah
I told her that she can't get reapproved, yeah
Big B, alphabet soup, yeah
You see who I′m really rolling with, yeah
Black cherry, it′s all Activis, yeah
Black watch on my fucking wrist (Motherfucking wrist)
The lyrics to "Luna" by Destroy Lonely paint a picture of a flashy and hedonistic lifestyle, as the artist boasts about their wealth, drug use, and romantic exploits. The opening lines talk about stacking money and the need to keep moving, suggesting a relentless pursuit of financial success. The mention of popping a thousand Xannies is a reference to the anti-anxiety medication Xanax, implying a dependency or need for escapism.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of betrayal and heartbreak, warning about falling in love with manipulative individuals who only seek to take advantage. The line "She'll slime you out without a tool" suggests that the dancer mentioned earlier is skilled at deceiving and exploiting others. The artist mocks the listener, calling them a fool for letting their heart be stolen by such a person.
Throughout the song, there is an air of decadence and a disregard for consequences. The mention of buying expensive items like designer clothes and watches reflects an extravagant lifestyle. The line "I might buy my lil' bitch a designer ass" further highlights this materialistic mindset.
Overall, "Luna" presents a dark and provocative portrayal of a life filled with money, drugs, and superficial relationships. It showcases the artist's confidence and detachment from conventional values, celebrating a reckless and self-indulgent existence.
