Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't even got all my chains on….this a light day
Last time you had said you would change
But you didn't change
You kept all the bullshit the same
Treat me like I was a lame
Cuz I spent some change
I bought you 2 different rings
I Just can't help it I'm hiding the pain
Ain't catch no cold I stood out in the rain
Twistin my fingers I'm pouring up lean
Lately the Crowd started callin my name
I been on stage all over the state
I never said that the love turnt to hate
I never let the beast out of the cage
Smokin this Zaza I'm high as a kite
I always knew you wasn't down to ride
Was in the dark I had cut on the light
30 round glizzy it stay by my side
I never planned for this shit to go down
Somehow I thought you'd always be around
Dug up a hole put my heart in the ground
Been feeling lost I don't wanna be found
Switched up my flow I been changing my sound
Don't play my music when I come around
Keep that shit G or I'm stretching shit out
Don't need no friends got the fam all around
Oh ohhhh
Copped a new chain I won't tuck it for no one
They say you all talk til you get up and show one
I lost all feeling i went through the motions
Bitch way too bad I ain't using no lotion
Pussy be soakin I swim in her ocean
Gotta hit raw I ain't usin no Trojan
Step on the gas I ain't doin no coastin
Mm mmm
Tryna let go like the shit just that simple
Bubble got burst like she poppin a pimple
Smile way too cute cuz she got that one dimple
Can't tell my next move I ain't using no signal
Don't throw no rocks you might cause a new ripple
My heart so cold it might melt in a igloo
Tears tried to fall but they turnt into sickles
Oh My God What Happened To Lowkey?
(Yeaaaaa)
Oh My God What Happened To Lowkey?
I wasn't gone do a verse two I said fuck it
First car was foreign I ain't drivin no bucket
Extended my clip now I'm still tryna tuck it
She pulled my dick out now she tryna suck it
Bitch just slow down I don't know why you rushin
Car come from Germany my shit not Russian
Told her she suck some good sick she start blushin
Smokin good weed it had came from my cousin
Don't really know what they want to do
Only see one son but I got me 2
Tryna walk light I be planin my move
Ain't tryna fight so I stay with my tool
Clutchin and drivin so I stick and move
I took a loss they ain't pity the fool
She told me come thru a quarter til 2
She gone be eating ain't talkin bout food
Shawty ride dick but she don't got a license
Asked my my sign she thought I was a Pisces
So many guns almost thought I was isis
I'm who they know ain't gone fold in a crisis
I'm bout my money I need my respect
Don't play with my name and don't play with my check
I got carbon and I got a tech
I'll put this Nina right up to your neck
Never been good enough never been loved
Drinking straight remy the back of the club
Wock just came in so I'm pouring it up
All of my problems gone drown in my cup
Never been good enough never been loved
Drinking straight remy the back of the club
Wock just came in so I'm pouring it up
All of my problems gone drown in my cup
Oh My God What Happened To Lowkey?
(All Of My Problems Gone Drown In My Cup)
Oh My God What Happened To Lowkey?
(All Of My Problems Gone Drown In My Cup)
Lowkey

I played piano on this with Herbie Smith in about 1962. Good sound for the times.
