Who
Future Feat. Young Thug Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who would ever thought I would grind like this
Who would ever thought that diamonds cost this much
Who would ever though that nigga's can't be trusted
Who would ever thought that girl wouldn't give it up
Who would ever thought bitches wouldn't ride far
Who would ever thought I would never kill the chorus
Who would ever though that I would taste peace again
Who would ever thought that I would never be the man

Who would have ever thought that I would be Almighty So
Who would have thought I'd drive these cars and fuck all these hoes
But I'm still the same Old Chief Sosa from the O
You disrespect the squad then it's over vamos nos
I'm leanin' off this act, this shit got me fallin' over
Got these Robins on my ass, all this money fallin' over
You ain't ever fuck with me these niggas think that I forgot 'em
Who would ever thought I'd hit the top from the bottom
I remember posted on the block totin' llamas
And if a opp pull up on the block, we gon' blam 'em
And if I get arrested by the cops I don't remember
And if they only tryna get me talkin' gon' suspend 'em
These niggas actin' hard but they sweet like hard vanilla
I nickname my carbon 15, carbon illa
I'm smokin' on this herb, you smokin' mid ain't hard to tell ya

Who would ever thought I would grind like this
Who would ever thought that diamonds cost this much
Who would ever though that nigga's can't be trusted
Who would ever thought that girl wouldn't give it up
Who would ever thought bitches wouldn't ride far
Who would ever thought I would never kill the chorus
Who would ever though that I would taste peace again
Who would ever thought that I would never be the man

Who would ever
