F.B.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I party everyday of the week cuz I can't sleep
I'm up all night toss n turning in my sheets
And you say you love me but I knew it was make believe
Everyday I count my blessings while I'm talking to the beat
Let's get it straight for once
You wear makeup cuz you hiding sum
You live in the past because you always doing something dumb
And I don't know who to trust
Cuz they always just be switching up
But they gon love me when the paper come
Sip too much purple call me Barney
I fuck the game up tornado warning
My paper beefy yours is scrawny
My verses real and yours is corny
They acting friendly but wanna harm me
No you can't turn up at my party
My heart is dead baby I'm sorry
Maybe it's because I get the same shit from everyone
Burnt myself out like I just ran a marathon
They always tryna find out what I'm doing what I be on
I always knew my music would take me far and beyond
From all that fuck shit I see around on the daily
Don't try an figure me out baby mind like a matrix
I remember when I first started they called me crazy
Now they see me turning up everyday I know they hate it
I party everyday of the week cuz I can't sleep
I'm up all night toss n turning in my sheets
And you say you love me but I knew it was make believe
Everyday I count my blessings while I'm talking to the beat
Let's get it straight for once
You wear makeup cuz you hiding sum
You live in the past because you always doing something dumb
And I don't know who to trust




Cuz they always just be switching up
But they gon love me when the paper come
