Flo Rida feat. Sage the Gamini & Lookas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

I know you wanna get behind the wheel but only one Rida
Eyes shut still got me swimming like a diver
Can't let go i got fans in Okinawa
My heart to Japan quake losers and survivors
Norway no you didn't get my flowers
No way to sound better but the killer was a coward
Face just showers, the minute in a hour
Heard about the news all day went sour
Lil mama got me feeling like a Lemonhead
Put you in the box just the presidents cigarettes
Give em my regards or regardless i get arrested
Ain't worried about the killers just the young and restless
Get mad 'cause a quarter million on my necklace
DUI never said i was driving reckless
You and I or jealously was not oppressive
Oh no i can't stop i was destined

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

Champagne buckets still got two tears in it
And i put that on my tattoo of Jimi Hendrix
Get depressed 'cause the outfit all in it
'Cause the press tell it all get a meal ticket
Clean next get a call just a lil' visit
Sacrifice just to make a hit still vivid
Reality see when your blessed just kill critics
Buggatti never when im rich, just god fearing
Look at me steering, got the blogs staring
Gotta good feeling, plus the right caring, tell his Billie Jeans
I'm on another planet
Thank E-Class, Big Chuck or Lee Prince Perries
Buy my momma chandeliers on my tears dammit
Thirty years you had thought these emotions vanish
Tryna live tryna figure how my sister vanish
No cheers i know you wouldn't panic

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go

When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now
When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now
When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now
When i need a healing, i just look up to the ceiling
I see the sun coming down i know its all better now

(I know) I think of letting go
(I know caught up in the middle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go
(Oh no gave up on the riddle) I cry, just a little when I think of letting go





(I know caught up in the middle I cry, just a little) when I think of letting go

OneAndOnlySound

This song is really addicting...Flo Rida is one of the few rappers I really like...I know he samples other's music a lot but you can always tell it's him, not like 20 other rappers who all sound and have indentical styles/voices...

Princess Leira

This song gives me the chills. ❤

Warrior of The Light
