Jean Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been riding on
I been riding on E
Trynna find my way back to you in the dark
And I been light on my feet
But I just want a whip with a push for the start
And I been finding my peace
But you just want a text back
And you just wanna see me
You just wanna see me, no, yeah
You been riding for the free
I been writing for the peace
You been walking with your head down
I be walking to a fucking beat
You let another nigga beat
When I ain't been busy just trying to grieve
Won't even light up on your feet
You ain't have to tell me, I ain't have to see
Now I'm rollin' up a G
I know you ain't switch up, ain't never been sweet
I think you would be my duchess
I ain't even playin' smokin' on the weed
But now I'm in the back of the woods
Trynna find home with some paper with some trees
The fact of the matter is I'm gonna feel like I still missed some tea
I been riding on E
Trynna find my way back to you in the dark
And I been light on my feet
But I just want a whip with a push for the start
And I been finding my peace
But you just want a text back
You don't wanna ride
And you just wanna see me
You just wanna see me, no, yeah yeah
[?], good times
So prime, it took time
Been game, puttin' any woman on the clothesline and I look fine
You're mine, good find
Hoppin' in another timelines
You're gone, took my
Mind in the middle of summertime
I couldn't get up before you had got out of my face
I was knocked the fuck out 'cause the booty [?] with some bass
I ain't got no trust now when I'm trippin' stuck inside my ways
I'm the only one that bust down
I just need to be in a new space, a new space
I been riding on E
Trynna find my way back to you in the dark
And I been light on my feet
But I just want a whip with a push for the start
And I been finding my peace
But you just want a text back
You don't wanna ride
And you just wanna see me
