More Than Friends
Jerry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'm the alien
You didn't know
You didn't know you didn't know
It's alright because you bouta know
Life (Hoh)
How you doing in it
Seems
Not (Hoh)
Like I'm going through it
That
I'm not fluent in it. Never
Serious when it's time to buckle up
Curious, mind on a swivel, light me up
"Period" every time you wanna talk
Furious every time I get to talk
Manual handle you, she kinda shy
Hand to you her damn time if you the right guy
International we go on and on and on
It's tangible with every song you sing along
Weesageechak on the move
What you know bout that mixed blood, I'm a mutt ouu
That mixed blood, I'm a mutt ouu
That mixed blood, I'm a mutt
I'm in my artistry ways please leave me in my zone
And my honesty ways on what you feed my dome
I'm on my architect shit, keep it real currently
So when they vibin' my shit I can see currency
Stay bobbing they head when they listening to me
Now I pop this cap and I don't know
Keep me in check. It's only bold you know?
Pop a stem I worry bout them
Yah I rob myself cause I never win
Pop this cap at what I know
Burn this world, It's only gold I know
Pop a stem I ain't worried bout them
Never rob myself, they will never win
