Lay Lady Lay
Hudson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been outside i don't wanna lay low
But i cant trust a soul so i gotta stay close
Out and acting wild when i been on the road
All these things you never had
See the green you want the cash
We just throw it in the bag

I want the check
Cut like fillets
Asking whats next
All your needs and these finer things
You got diamond dreams
Brand new policies
Yeah that's all you need

I been up and wild damn find me outside
Tryna live how i live going out sad
Charge it to game when you're going out bad
Cuz i been keeping track like you're running up a tab
That bitch said she love me
It aint nothing but the racks
How that girl gon buss it open like she never had a man
Shawty said that she's from oakland and she wants to take me back
But i just took a xan and im never coming back

I been outside i don't wanna lay low
But i cant trust a soul so i gotta stay close
Out and acting wild when i been on the road
All these things you never had




See the green you want the cash
We just throw it in the bag
