Ieuan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

925, you know where we at when we alive
You say you don't get the hype
But that's not my fault, you ain't my type
I bet your boring
Let's see how you like it the morning

You say I'm too forward
No baby I'm just on one

Home of the homies
London to SF
You think you know me
Why you gotta always be like that
I'll show you some love
You'll hit me right back
Oh no oh no they really got me
Maybe, oh maybe, maybe if you're lucky
Only if you lucky
I'll take you to my city

I've been wasting all this time on you
I think that I deserve the truth
I've been wasting all my time on you
But I still got my youth

I still got my youth
I still got my youth
I still got my youth
I still got my youth

Ok, I just killed the game again
My girls I and dee go hard every weekend tell me does ya find us a boyfriend
I can be your major key to success, my friend
I hate it when you talk about those pictures
But you are never pressin'
And if I find diamond baby
Where would you recommend hey, hey

I've been wasting all this time on you
I think that I deserve the truth
I've been wasting all my time on you
But I still got my youth

(I still got my youth)
Hey
(I still got my youth)
Hey
(I still got my youth)
Hey
Oh no no no no
(I still got my youth)
Oh no no no no
(I still got my youth)
Oh no no no no
(I still got my youth)
Oh no no no no
(I still got my youth)

I've been wasting all this time on you
I think that I deserve the truth

I've been wasting all my time on you
But I still got my youth
