Work It Out
I.L Will Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wake up spinning
In bed all the time
Every day that I get up
It's more cuts in my spine
Stabbed in the back
You keep wasting my time
I'm too wasted
Doing laps in a space ship
What's with all the fake shit?
Smoke got me stuck
Yeah I'm not tryna face it
I'm too wasted
Spending every day
Doing laps in a space ship
What's with all the fake shit?
Smoke got me stuck
Yeah I'm not tryna face it
Nothing hits hard than regret
Got me on a leash
You always treat me like a pet
Sad I'm always sippin on the tek
Now i'm movin on
Countin bands I had to flex
I'm just talkin shit
Wish I was doing great
Stuck inside my head
Filled with all this hate
Every fuckin problem you exaggerate
Wish I woulda known that all you hoes was fake
I'm too wasted
Spending every day
Doing laps in a space ship
What's with all the fake shit?
Smoke got me stuck
Yeah I'm not tryna face it
I'm too wasted
Spending every day
Doing laps in a space ship
What's with all the fake shit?
Smoke got me stuck
Yeah I'm not tryna face it
I’m so wasted
Laps in my space ship
So fucking sick of all
The dumb shit I been chasin
Now I'm finally on track
Started doin shit for me
I’ll never go back
You can’t take this from me
If I don’t allow you too
I’m done stressin over
Why you do the things you do
All the years I been played
Yeh they took their toll
Finally just had enough
Stopped givin you control
So fuckin sick of feelin
Like I’m always last
So I switched up and
Left all that shit in the past
Now you sit and
Watch me winnin
High and out my mind
Yeh my shit is always spinnin
Dunno why you go
To text and hit send
Bitch, I told you the last time
That this was the end
I'm too wasted
Spending every day
Doing laps in a space ship
What's with all the fake shit?
Smoke got me stuck
Yeah I'm not tryna face it
I'm too wasted
Spending every day
Doing laps in a space ship
What's with all the fake shit?
Smoke got me stuck
Yeah i'm not tryna face it
