Butterflies
Hundro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Now I can only say I'm sorry in these lucid dreams
The second you'd leave I'd dream a nightmare
I still reminisce on times when you were right here
I might not feel everything inside but my eyes tear
cause I swear that I cared
It'd be a lie if I said life's fair
Summer died, you can feel it in the night air
Butterflies, you used to give me butterflies
Butterflies, you used to give me butterflies
Butterflies, you used to give me butterflies
She's the type that gotta kill the lights to feel a vibe
Popping pills to fill a void in hopes it ease her mind
Hotbox the whip until the tint look white
Bitch do not trip this ain't psilocybe
DEA or CSI, free the gang caged eating time
They did some GTA shit in real life
I need an indication, will you still ride
Tryna finesse litigation while you're inside
It's a shitty situation when your wrists tied
Discrimination incriminates on this side
This side, I'm talking about this side
I take drugs to take the pain away
From the pain that I feel every day
I just wanna feel okay
But I know this shit is not gone change
I don't know what the fuck to say
I'm sorry I made you feel this way
I said I'm sorry I made you feel this way
I get high so I don't cry it dry my eyes
You'd give me butterflies
I said I'm sorry I made you feel this way
I get high so I don't cry, it dry my eyes
You'd give me butterflies
That was back when you would give me butterflies
Butterflies, butterflies
You used to give me butterflies, butterflies
You used to give me butterflies, butterflies
You used to give me butterflies, butterflies
While butterflies flutter by
I wonder why mother lies
Wide awake, with lines on her face
Crying like I died in the grave
I'm always high, what a waste
How much time does it take
To feel the shine, not the shade
To catch a vibe on the wave
Just wait for the tide to rise, they'll all wade in the wake
Love to hate but say they idolize, fakes falsify their claims
One day I'll run away gone poltergeist like David Blaine
Relocate so y'all don't cross my mind or prophecize my fate
I won't bottom line off homicide to fossilize my grave
Rocked a long time for some spotlight, y'all oughta harmonize my name
I'm not plotting on the dollar signs or diamonds on my chain
They still wanna paint me scarlet, getcha Charmin, I'm a stain
Always kept my face low but my brain in outer space
I'd go wherever the wake goes, now I go against the grain
But I'm really not sure these days, I'm not sure these days
I've been swerving lanes, might see pearly gates
There's a fire in me burning but it's burdening
Bottled up internally, at third degree
I've seen so much scarlet turn burgundy, it's unnerving
I really thought she was the love of my life
But I done fucked up, I was dumb, I was high
I guess it's tough luck
All in all, to summarize
Don't fall for love in summer time
You'll get caught up in butterflies
But that was when nothing hurt yet, but nothing really worked
All these feelings had no purpose, dug me deep into the earth
It be hard to see the surface when you're six feet in the dirt
One part of me felt worthless, other part of me felt worse
Butterflies, you used to give me butterflies
Butterflies, you used to give me butterflies
Butterflies, you used to give me butterflies
Butterflies, you used to give me butterflies
I get high so I don't cry, it dry my eyes
You'd give me butterflies
That was back when you used to give me butterflies
I get high so I don't cry, it dry my eyes
You'd give me butterflies
That was back when you would give me butterflies
