City Of Angels
Jakka-B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tripping off this
Slipping off of this
Whipping off this
Cost of living off this
Reminiscing off this
Tripping off this
Slipping off this
Whipping off this
Cost of living off this
I ain't switching off
Cruising Round I got nowhere to go
Lost my route I'm finally on the go
Lost and found might find me on the road
Lost in sound the sonics help me float
Sonic catch me running for the gold
Tonic in my cup it help me flow
Corners filled with smoke look like a ghost
Smokers in my section heavy dose
Time to lose hope
Found out I'm always in control
Don't mind if don't where to go
Time will tell my soul
Sometimes feel the grind up in my bones
I want the diamonds and the rose
Don't put my diamonds in a rope
I want my diamonds in a row
I be tripping off of this
Slipping off of this
Whipping off of this
Cost of living off this
Reminiscing off this
Unforgiving off this
Lane switching off piff
I ain't switching off shit
I was tripping off of this
Slipping off of this
Whipping off this
Cost of living off this
Reminiscing off this
Unforgiving off this
Lane switching off piff
Ain't no switching off shit
All up in my head
Time to get this bread
Soldiers in the field
Different type of led
Hate to see my bed
All I think about is death
Ain't no rules in the game
I be tripping on the ref
For my team I'll go in debt
Go all in let's make a bet
Crunch time I'm going in
Made my name up in da stretch
I don't even gotta flex
Feel that pain up in my chest
I got used to the bottom
Made my home up in da trench
I was tripping off of this
Tripping off of that
Take a trip to find bliss
Then take a trip to climb back
Reminiscing off this
Unforgiving off that
Lane switching off piff
I ain't switching off shit naw
Switching off
I ain't tripping off




Reminiscing off
I ain't tripping off shit naw
