Walk Away
Gentleman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And them do you things what you just don't deserve
Can't tell the world a blessing over curse
One day the last will be the first
Full speed forward you just can't reverse
Uplift yourself when them expect the worse
Hear what me say ina the verse
It's time to leave time to quench your spiritual thirst
Put down the trouble then you walk away
You don't have to fight today
No, you never do it again, do it again
You do it from way back when
Put down the trouble then you walk away
You don't have to fight today
No, you never do it again, do it again
You do it from way back when
Put down the troubles beg you walk from them
Trouble making people take no tulle from them
New life, new chapter, new time, new friend
You follow your instincts, you just can't pretend
A brand new start you will find again
No make nobody interrupt you this time again
One piece of mind clear mind again
Everything incline again, but I just shine again
Put down the trouble then you walk away
You don't have to fight today
No, you never do it again, do it again
You do it from way back when
Put down the trouble then you walk away
You don't have to fight today
No, you never do it again, do it again
You do it from way back when
Me not tell you if we take this honor
A fi your life and you can do what you wanna
But if you draw fi the guns and the hammer
Next thing me know you ago draw fi the hammer you and
Take a check and sort out your grammar
Sentence no right, boy, you need a few grammar
But it you don't stop talk and stammer
Then you what I talk in front your honor
Put down the trouble then you walk away
You don't have to fight today
No, you never do it again, do it again
You do it from way back when
Put down the trouble then you walk away
You don't have to fight today
No, you never do it again, do it again
You do it from way back when
(Walk away, find a way)
(Walk away, find a way)
