Destroy Lonely Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Plugs)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sippinβ² on purple mud straight out the bottle
Super-thick bitch, yeah, she built like a model
Codeine got me moving slow but it's full throttle
And Iβ²m blowing through these bands like I just hit the lotto
Backwoods stuffed crust, I could call it soft taco
Might triple-cross the plug, got me feeling like Pablo
I might pull up with the fire, call me Lonely el Diablo
Woke up thinking 'bout the guap, getting money, all that I know
You get hit with Glocks, my shooters donβ²t fuck with rifles
Itβ²s funny how I popped, now they treat me like an idol
I'm just going through a lot, this movie donβ²t got a title
I just want the money (Plugs), I don't really care for fame
Iβ²m just goin' up and I know these things change
Take a band, throw it up, now she dancing in the rain
How you switch up on the gang? Damn, I knew you was a lame
Did it all by myself, how you think I got my name?
And Iβ²m still using Percs 'cause they take away the pain
Know it's gonβ² hurt when I pull up in a Range
Coupe gonβ² swerve and we really switchin' lanes
This a two-seater but Iβ²m in it with the gang
When I'm on the money mission, I canβ²t pick up for a lame
Get up on the top floor, it's like we outer space
Itβ²s like I love the guap more, I'm really sorry, bae
Been the same since a jit, no, this shit not a phase
Call of Duty sticks, but this shit not FaZe
I'm speaking with you, nigga, we, we are not the same
Makinβ² money with the bros, man, I love my gang
Huh, yeah
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah), yeah
Sippinβ² on purple mud straight out the bottle
Super-thick bitch, yeah, she built like a model
Codeine got me moving slow but it's full throttle
And Iβ²m blowing through these bands like I just hit the lotto
4,500 grams, stuff 'em in the Tahoe
Backwoods stuffed crust, I could call it soft taco
Might triple-cross the plug, got me feeling like Pablo
I might pull up with the fire, call me Lonely el Diablo
Woke up thinking β²bout the guap, getting money, all that I know
Blowing through these bands like I just hit the lotto
Blowing through these bands like I just hit the lotto
Blowing through these bands like I just hit the lotto (yeah, yeah)
(Plugs)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
