Wildfire
JENI // SBTRKT ft. Drake & Little Dragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rushing the night like a shark, babe
Would it be bad?
If I had to set the alarm
'Cause those thrills that run up my back
You are my star
Nothing else can lead me off track
You're like a wildfire
You got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't
You'll expire, by the throat
I could bet all the riches that I ever had
Rushing the night like a shark, babe
Would it be bad?
Hey, (yeah) yeah
You're like a wildfire
You got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't
You'll expire, by the throat
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't
You'll expire, by the throat
Hey, yeah
You're like a wildfire
You got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't
You'll expire, by the throat
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't
You'll expire, by the throat

I could bet all of the riches that I ever had
Rushing the night like a sharp blade
Would it be bad

By the throat
Hey, wassup, real honey doing real stuff
Get a lot of money, you could never get enough
And you know the new shit sounds so tough
So and so just walked on, so what?
I don't really vibe with a lot of these singers
I aint really into giving more than one chance, boy
I already tried with a lot of these singers
F-ck that, that team dont know real, whats that?
That can't be from here
That can't be what they believe in, is the best shit of the year
Thats that fake shit, thats that fake shit
That that top row of veneer
Just when they getting impatient
When I make a World premiere
Uh, damn, word, Award shows coming
Make sure you spell that shit right
Make sure they give me all the credit I deserve
Make sure the good stuff's still in that Sprite
They watch us make that shit into a song
Ya aint livin' that girl stop stealin' that life
Anything could happen when I do see ya
Guess it all depends on how I'm feelin' that night
Okay, live my life in hotels
Bitch better have my room right
If they kill me, bury me a legend
Bitch better have my tomb right
Ahh, this is perfect for the men that I love before
...I just love me more
I could bet all of the riches that I ever had
Rushing the night like a sharp blade
Would it be bad
If I had to set the alarm
Cus the thrills that run up my back
You are my star
Nothing else could leave me off track, Oh
