Silkk Da Shocka
Isaiah Rashad Feat. Syd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I almost got this, at least we got it memorized
This for the haves and the haves wanna give a fucks hey

I ride around in your car
I put the weed in your blunt
I am the sky to your star
I am the end of your month
You are the start of my day
You brought the smile from my face
I see the world from your eyes
You pulled a thorn from my side

I know you love me
It's rare, I know you love me
But yeah, I know you love me
It's rare, I know you love me

But, you give me all that you got
You make it stretch it and flip
I fell in love with your thoughts
I learned it's more than your hips
You know I'm caught in my vibe
But I still give you my rib
You hear them callin' my name
But know it's hard for me here
I left a home with my son
I chose the world in the end
I say you know I be back
You try your best to pretend
I say you all that I want
And when I make it, it's real
I hear 'em callin' my name
It's gettin' hard for me here

I know you love me
It's rare, I know you love me
But yeah, I know you love me
It's rare, I know you love me, yeah

And, and, and these stars are nothin' but your cousins
And starin' at your mama, Heaven wasn't falling in here
So holla you heard I'm usin' narcotics
No, I don't wanna be here, if I don't, gotta
My weed habit so close to snortin', powder
Got a few gripes but it's only about
A, dollar bill, so holla unless you're usin' narcotics
See I don't wanna be here, if I don't, gotta
My weed habit so close to snortin', powder
Got a few bitches but it's only bout a, dollar
Feel, so hollow unless you're usin' narcotics
See I don't wanna

Tell me, man you talkin' bout this you talkin' bout that
Talkin' about you ain't got nothin' to talk about
Find the motherfuckin' topic




God damn just find, the topic bro'
Seriously God damn, complicated ass young motherfuckers, man
