Caught Up
Froogle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im gettin' way too caught up
Haven't quit yet
I don't act right
I'm a leftist
Only part time
Put my phone down
I got lines though
Time to turn my fans on
Take a seat now
Cause it's my show
I'm a mad man
Like Jon Hamm
I can fit my bank account inside a rubber band
Took a break now I'm back like a day job
Now I'm clocked in
But it's my time
Can't box me in like UHAUL
Use to make hit songs in the classroom
Now I'm making hit songs in the bathroom
Im gettin' way too caught up
Im gettin' way too caught up
Is my passion offensive?
You live on the fence and
Passive aggressive is not who I am
Soulja Boy Tell Em' I'm doing my dance
I'm with the band
Rollin' like rocks
Taking my loss
Turn em' to wins
Fly out to France
To have a Croissant
You only live once
And I'm taking my chance
Im gettin' way too caught up
(Way too caught up way too caught up)
Im gettin' way too caught up
(Way too caught up way too caught up)
I'm getting way too caught up
So I drop off the hook like a fish outta water
No worries, hakuna matata
Don't get caught up wit nada not a don or a goddess
Or worse you got worried all tangled in a hurry
Thinking about where you're going don't savor the journey
Before you get to blink
You in a hearse or a gurney like the beat
From this verse
Killing sermons with service now save it
Ok, they ain't dancing with me now
I guess I gotta show em' how it's done like
Ok, they ain't dancing with me now
I guess we gotta show em' how it's done like
