Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen, yeah,
I'm here to tell you
That this is a brand new sound
This, this will change your life
All you gotta do is turn your shit up,
(All you gotta do is turn your shit up)
All you gotta do is turn your shit up!
This what you want (this what you need)
This what you need (this what you need)
This what you get (this what you get)
This what you like (this what you like)
This that dirty money

Coulda given you everything,
Coulda given you shooting star
Coulda loved your back mo'
But now I'm too far away
You won't be there alone,
My love wouldn't be alone
We wouldn't be staring out the window,
Guessing which way the wind blows

You would be loving me, hold me,
Treating me better than before
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
You're just so damn selfish,
Nervous and jealous,
You would be loving me,
Yeah you would,
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
(Yeah, yeah, yeah you would)

Yeah, come on, oh
Who was your number one?
Who got niggas at the altar wearing future gators and ?
Got my hand on my gun,
As I'm sitting drinking and thinking I love you
You shoulda had my sun
Got me losing my mind,
All alone in my room,
Staring at your picture like I'm doing time
I know loving me's hard (loving me's hard)
But the further you are away,
Got me closer to God

Sex sooner than later,
If I was the only one,
Would I be your mistress?
But now I'm too far to play (too far to play)
Now you take the blame alone, cant take the blame alone
Love wouldn't be free to roam
We would be prisoners of the sheets baby
I'll be your capture
(I'll be your capture)

You would be in love with me, holdin' me
Treating me better than before
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
You're just so damn selfish,
Nervous and jealous,
You would be in love with me,
Yeah you would,
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would

All I wanted
Was your lovin'
You can tell me,
You wouldn't be happy
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah you would
You would of never ruined my heart
?
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah you would

You would be loving me
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would




Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
Yeah, yeah, yeah you would
