Let You Go
Eli Sostre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'ma always tell you what I lack love
Fuck with me, I'm only talkin' facts
I've been drinkin' lately, I might act up
Jewelry on, I used to rock my brother chains
I was broke, they wanted me to stay the same
Fuck it bet, she bust it open for some change
Brought the family with me, feelin' like the Waynes
Did it on my own so I don't need suggestions
Hit the road, it'd been a minute since I checked in
Now you miss me, I just hope you're out there reppin'
Pretty bitch, she keep my picture on the wall, yeah
If you love me, hope you love me and my flaws, yeah
I wouldn't trade this feelin' for the world
Only right, I throwed some diamonds on my girl
Yeah, yeah
You're always on my mind
I still try to find some time
But you make it so hard to let you go, oh oh oh
You're always on my mind
I still try to find some time
But you make it so hard to let you go, oh oh oh
Tell me what you heard about
Tell me all the stories that you heard about
Say I'm fuckin' around, but that's just word to mouth
Used to want forever, you ain't sure now
Yeah, let's get connected, get connected
Yeah, them niggas talkin' down, yeah, they're talkin' reckless
Homie, I would hate it too lookin' at my neckless
Every time they hit my town, they're gon' need protection
Baby, back to you
Cell phone keep ringin' out the new
I got drugs in my bag, that's for you
If you tell a story on me tell the truth
Oh, yeah
You're always on my mind
I still try to find some time
But you make it so hard to let you go, oh oh oh
You're always on my mind
I still try to find some time
But you make it so hard to let you go
