Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I'm goin' crazy
Not tryna take you out your frame
No, you're not the one to blame
But you're the reason I'm insane
I'll tell you, baby
I only think about your name
I'm hoping that I got the game to let me take you out today
And I swear
If you do, that'll make my dreams turn to reality (Reality!)
I call you Frame Goddess cuz you picture-perfect, you everything (Oh yeah!)
I swear to God, one day, I'll give you my last name
No Cypress Hill, but I feel insane in the brain and that's some real sh**
You know we complement each other
I wanna see all of you and not just under the covers
I'm tryna ball with you, I play good *, Jimmy Butler
And trust when I say I ain't like the others
I'm real!
A hopeless romantic that lays it all on the line
I'd use my last to fight for what I believe in, every dime
What's it gonna be? You're the Janet Jack to my Busta Rhymes
Bonnie to my Clyde
I'm tryna be your partner in crime
And damn!
I can't get you out my head, shawty
Come with me and let's paint the town red, shawty
Stay down while I go out and make this bread, shawty
And let me s** you up, right in my bed, shawty
And damn, I can't get you out my head, shawty
Come with me and let's paint the town red, shawty
Stay down while I go out and make this bread, shawty
And let me s** you up, right in my bed, shawty
I'm goin' crazy
Not tryna take you out your frame
No, you're not the one to blame
But you're the reason I'm insane
I'll tell you, baby
I only think about your name
I'm hoping that I got the game to let me take you out today
And I swear
If you do, that'll make my dreams turn to reality (Reality!)
I call you Frame Goddess cuz you picture-perfect, you everything (Oh yeah!)
I swear to God, one day, I'll give you my last name
No Cypress Hill, but I feel insane in the brain, and that's some real sh**
And that's some real sh**
(Said I'mma give you my last name)
(Said I'mma give you my last name)
(Give you my last name)
(Oh yeah!)
I'm goin' crazy
Not tryna take you out your frame
No, you're not the one to blame
But you're the reason I'm insane
I'll tell you, baby
I only think about your name
I'm hoping that I got the game to let me take you out today
And I swear
If you do, that'll make my dreams turn to reality (Reality!)
I call you Frame Goddess cuz you picture-perfect, you everything (Oh yeah!)
I swear to God, one day, I'll give you my last name




No Cypress Hill, but I feel insane in the brain and that's some real sh**
(And that's some real sh**)
