Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yea
Thinkin bout it
I'm thinkin of slingin dope
What
I'm thinkin of slingin dope
What would you think of me
What would you think of me if I start slingin dope
You don't know dat feeling being a man and being broke
I been tryna get it but can't seem to make it grow
Y'all don't eat 2night, dey don't blame you, I get that low
So what we bout to do, stare at each other or go score
Dey say that its gettin better, I hear em but startin to think that its fabricated
I drink till im feeling better, n smoke a lil bit cause I'm aggravated
I'm smokin' deez cigarettes, and that aint my thing so u know that I'm agitated
Just gimmie a lick, couple of flips n I swear I'ma quit
I know that you thinkin it don't make no sense
Thats how I feel when I'm countin my ends
Drop a lil bit on the first for the rent
End of the week, aint got nothin 2 spend, damn
Just bend a few corners, I'll pitch out the window n not from the home, its
Only for the moment, I swear
I'm thinkin' bout slingin' dope
I been thinkin', I been thinkin', I been thinkin' bout some Dope
I been thinkin', I been thinkin
I'm thinkin' of slingin' dope
I been thinkin', I been thinkin', I been thinkin' bout some Dope
I been thinkin
What would you think of me if I start slingin' dope
I been thinkin', I been thinkin', I been thinkin' bout some Dope
I been thinkin', I been thinkin
Cause I been thinkin' bout some dope
I been thinkin', I been thinkin', I been thinkin' bout some Dope
I been thinkin', I been thinkin', I been thinkin
Run it
I know this don't give you the right vibe
I know that you thinkin I'm losing myself, to be honest I'm thinkin you right bout it
Losing myself to the pressure that hitting and sapping, and draining the life out me
Look in my face, I'm losing weight, bae I aint str8 and I aint ate in a couple of days
Nevertheless I'll be pushing weight, hmph
I know I be stuck in ways, mph
No reason to wait, Its money out here and here to be made, yea
I know that you worried about if I slip and I get me a case, look
But baby I promise that when I get str8 that I'm outta the game
Yea, yea
