Final Fantasy 13-2 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna be dope but end up being a wannabee paradox ,
Tryna be lit but hit the shift so all cap within the box .
Wanna be dope but end up being a wannabee paradox ,
Tryna be lit but hit the shift so all cap within the box .
Wanna be dope but end up being a wannabee paradox ,
Tryna be lit but hit the shift so all cap within the box .
Be workaholic automatic dream is closer possible ,
Each and everything need to bring your best possible side ,
You the best possible guy to box your demons inside
OTT bringing calamity think that it got series inclined .
Series to series those episodes making
New crazy content grows anecdotes stepping ,
Only asymptotes raising , yeah .
Solution with us prioritise the work you need to drive right now
Please don't slide down , no .
Topic , fighting demons is the topic ,
Get a saviour or stay clear you need bossing .
Turn your asymptotes , backing vocs into solution
You have started disregarding your end bend conclusion .
Bend conclusion , abandon that abadon
Get the better of those demons ,
Get your day decided only by the protagonist himself ,
Make your work speak for you after death for fighting demons .
Gonna be dope forget being a wannabee anecdote
Gonna be lit repeat no cap coz the cap's locked .
Gonna be dope forget being a wannabee anecdote
Gonna be lit repeat no cap coz the cap's locked .




Gonna be dope forget being a wannabee anecdote
Gonna be lit repeat no cap coz the cap's locked .
