Don-John Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got this problem (Problem)
I lowkey love a bitch 'fore I even know her
That's the cons when you live life a loner
I get these stupid hoes but I can't hold her
I felt some type a way I wish I told her
I wish I knew her
I let her do her
I couldn't get to her
Hold on, stop
In my mind, non-stop
She had my heart and
I got hardened, uh
She stepped back from our weeding ring dreams
Yea I pop pills but after this imma need
Codeine
Uh-huh codeine
Oh, woah
And I know, (I know)
You a no go (Nah)
You a no go (Nah)
You a no go (Nah)
You a no go (Nah)
You a no go (You a no go)
Uh
There was a time when I thought we could be something
(We could be something)
It added up to nothing
(It was nothing)
I woulda got you everything
(I would've gotten you everything)
If you woulda gave me one thing
Drunk calling you (Drunk calling you)
That's not me boo (That's not me boo)
Done calling you (Done calling you)
I'm wrapping it up were through
Wonder how long I can keep up this persona (This persona)
Shit I'm still sad you a goner (You a goner)
Coulda had her didn't want her (Didn't want her)
Wondered why you'd give him double clicks (Double clicks)
See him you'd lick your lips
How long were you into this (How long)
How long we been through all this (How long)
Looked at your eyes and we both wished we locked lips
But he still outshines me
He's still on your mind, E
My ears pricked up when I heard your name
And if it wasn't me It'd sound so lame
Girl I think I'm in love
Are we a fit like a glove
Always fiending for more (Oh yeah)
I need your attention oh (Need it)
Flirting back like you ain't got a man
Come to find out this fucker is a fan
He copy my style ,my walk, how I talk
Didn't know you needed a me from Walmart
Now hold on
When I saw all that
Looked away didn't wanna process that
You played us both, yea that's how I see it
Shoulda known you a hoe from the start
I got this problem (Problem)
I lowkey love a bitch 'fore I even know her
That's the cons when you live life a loner
I get these stupid hoes but I can't hold her




I felt some type a way I wish I told her
It sounds so lame
