No Good
Joel Uni-K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lurking in the shadows
You have your ideals
Watching, Waiting for me
To slip up, oh
Do you get high off what I’m not
You’re toxic and You’re no good for me
You’re toxic and You’re no good for me
You’re tryna get a hold of me
But I can see you’re dumb
Tryna keep control of me
But that ain’t how I run
You see darlin’ I will not comply
But I’ll show you how it's done
You’re toxic and you’re no good for me
Hey, oh ooo
You won’t hold me back when I was made to fly
I’ll learn to love myself let all my flaws run wild
I won’t be your sacrifice
No you can't hold me back cos babe I was born to fly
I don’t have the time
I don’t think twice about what you’re trying to hide
Your wicked games don’t cross my mind when I sleep at night
Darlin’ I've told you a thousand times
You’re not my kind of guy
So just move on and let me carry on being me
Everyone has flaws, ooo
I’m not tryna be something I’m not
I’m just happy being me
Won’t lose my self in the curiosity
Of how things could have been
You won’t hold me back when I was made to fly
I’ll learn to love myself let all my flaws run wild
I won’t be your sacrifice
No you can't hold me back cos babe I was born to fly
Lurking in the shadows
You have your ideals
Watching, Waiting for me
To slip up, oh
Do you get high off what I’m not




You’re toxic and You’re no good for me
You’re toxic and You’re no good for me
