Red
Game Ft. Redman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They don't want me to be what I want
They don't want me to be anyone
I wanna be free become undone
I'm just gonna succeed show everyone
Ugh
I just came to talk my shit
And now I'm missing luck
Accounting for my mouth
You feel the bounce
From towers kicking dust
I'm makin rounds
With indica
I pick out a sound
And then we risk it all for chicken guts
You not that similar
These missiles comin at you
Better react
Tongue is deadlier
Then the kids
That only did it for the stacks
Lungs is heavier
Than the bricks
Collecting bunnies from the past
I came to rap dummy
Please release your snacks honey
Run a hundred laps
But reid like bitch it's 120
I'm like what you want from me
Shits selective
And you know the socks eccentric
Bitch
We got a possi
And this shit is so electric
Shock yo titties
For a check
What's next
Is ima come up in the booth
And break heads
Got my toes up on they neck
And I'm blessed
Plot on foes
Holy smoke
In they head
Cause shit I get so baked
I make bread
They don't want me to be what I want
They don't want me to be anyone
I wanna be free become undone
I'm just gonna succeed show everyone
I'm coming in with that jazz rap
Like it's a brand new style
You keep looking for me
Like homie check your files
Maybe in your kitchen
Maybe in your bathroom tiles
I'm minuscule but I'm about to
Raise all your brows
They still looking for me
Like go and check your browser
I don't spin normally
I'm a clock but counter
Attack all your hits
Just like Mario with the bowser
I blossomed perfectly
Like a spring rain flower
Tall skinny kid from the five one eight
Can rap fast but not that great
If you don't like it that's cool just shut up and take a seat
I'll stay burning in this fireplace cause all I do is spit heat
I'm just tryna find the right rhymes
So all these label heads will give me the right time
I mean I'm not that special
But I think it's alright




It's alright
Lewis
