Flame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah dumb Gaslight
That's why I need a Tesla Lord hey, Stacy

Yes, MrFlame

Where can I get some gas at

Calculating route baghdad 6683 Mi away from
Your current location

Not Baghdad gas at
Where can I get some gas
Nigga Stacy is tripping

The closest gas station is in one mile

Ok cool

Take exit on right in 150 feet

Dang already, let me get over
Come on man move

Exit in 100 feet

Bra are you going to go or are
You going to slow down
Are you going to speed up
Bra look uh dang man

Exit in 50 feet make a u turn
Make a u turn in 49 miles





Stop playing
Ah definitely ain't going to make that
