Cruisin'
Jay-Z & Notorious BIG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crusing thru life hopin that one day i make it
If I won't be famous can i do shows in Vegas
Crowd sing my songs while I roll Garcia Vega's
And I rep TNG so I must be the greatest

This a song to cruise to gotta add to ya playlist
Life ain't bad they told me it's how you portray it
That's why everybody say life's what you gone make it
Don't get to talk to god everyday but I be praying

It's so many grams in this blunt so I can't roll it
Smoke a nigga like a swisher
Police wont know it
If shorty got a boat im the one who gone row it
I don't usually save hoes but I'm feelin heroic

If I get jammed up I could never be weasel
Boy I'm real humble and fly like America's eagle
Dreams so big I hate tellin small minded people
What's in my blunt it's chronic and it be lethal

When I used tinder
Couldn't get a date in my city
I make music all the hoes wanna lick me
careful they set up the hoes be tricky
Can't think to hard when you tryna get litty

Took all the guys that shit put me to the test
Now everybody home so we feelin the best
Say they want a mixtape
But we need the respect
When they hear some new shit
They gone say we up next

Crusing thru life hopin that one day i make it
If I won't be famous can i do shows in Vegas
Crowd sing my songs while I roll Garcia Vega's
And I rep TNG so I must be the greatest

This a song to cruise to gotta add to ya playlist
Life ain't bad they told me it's how you portray it
That's why everybody say life's what you gone make it
Don't get to talk to god everyday but I be praying

Tried to catch em at the light he turned a Buick to a SRT
Deep in that yellow truck tinted so you can't see
More than bumble hit like lightning so it's thunder see
I move how I want in traffic real comfortably

Weekend get fresh so bad bitches give me neck where
Heard I made some music baby they say I'm up next
Smoke all day that's how I off day rest
Live life for now don't know I'm goin yet

When I got paper became the man how I'm posed to lose
If ain't gotta Mary Jane at night I can't snooze
As long as I got the green I'm in a good mood
Hit the car hit this song then it's time to hit me a cruise

If you mad all the time he ain't hittin it right
Tell em take swim lessons get that stroke game right
I made club action so y'all could dance thru the night
But when this song play know it's gone turn up ya life

Crusing thru life hopin that one day i make it
If I won't be famous can i do shows in Vegas
Crowd sing my songs while I roll Garcia Vega's
And I rep TNG so I must be the greatest

This a song to cruise to gotta add to ya playlist
Life ain't bad they told me it's how you portray it




That's why everybody say life's what you gone make it
Don't get to talk to god everyday but I be praying
