Desperado
E-Dawg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Im in a hurry and desperate im a desperado
Something better happen and pronto
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take it

The lights goes off didnt hit the switch
It must of been a fuse or a glitch but I know
It because I didnt pay for that shit
Ask for an extension all I hear is a click hello
Candle glow I get a glimpse in the mirror
Im starting to see things more clearer good night
Good fight grab knife I just might go robbing
Anything to get these lights back and popping
I ain't got nothing that left only some breaths
That sir aint gone cash any checks so I left
And change my wardrobe now Im in some war clothes
The good fella taking deniro
I'm joe pesci petty bad joke they never get me
Ill fight until the end I wont let them get me
Think more smarter and not Sparta
My knife comes from under my parka

Im in a hurry and desperate im a desperado
Something better happen and pronto
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take it
Im in a hurry and desperate im a desperado
Something better happen and pronto
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take it

Past due is what the landlord just told me about his land Lord
Help me to get what he asking for
Taking the draw breaking the law
Somebody stop me grab my mask and draw
Bang bang Ill shoot you down bang bang Ill shoot you down
So give me what I want and im out or you are
Waist deep in blood I will kill you cuz
Dont move dont budge trigger nudge
Im new to this place dude where is the safe
In a Nickolas Cage well open that fault or get a new face
Off straight to the exit I hope I make it
Glass of reflection myself im facing
Who is this guy who am i
Pulling off all these stunts got me losing my I
Think what you doing I know what im doing
Doing bad because my good ruin

Im in a hurry and desperate im a desperado
Something better happen and pronto
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take it
Im in a hurry and desperate im a desperado
Something better happen and pronto




Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take
Im so tired of trying make it Im finna take it
