John S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I drink that lean it make it better aye
This shit feel good it take me to another level aye
Fuck with the x I had to cop it through the tele aye
Don't die in this life gotta earn them stripes and find methods aye
Fuck with the gang we have to go and take your life away
Talk to the boss they call me up I'm like one swipe away
Fuck with that sprite if the sprite coming with promethazine
Been sipping heavy but I'm sleeping to another day
Throwed out my heart and now the only thing I feel is gray
Aye, aye, aye, aye,
I fried my brain but for codeine I still be going crazy
This model took a x before the show she feeling lazy
If it ain't fucked up, don't change it
Would you still give me head if I had day shifts?
I'd prolly be dead if I was basic
prolly be dead if I was
If it ain't fucked up, don't change it
Would you still give me head if I had day shifts?
I'd prolly be dead if I was basic
Prolly be dead if I was
I had to fucking go to work and hang with all my demons
They locked my cousin up
I haven't seen him in a couple seasons
They ask a nigga why I rap like bitch I got my reasons
Back in the box I couldn't scrap but now I'm swinging easy
The only thing I learnt to drink was purple juice yeah
I know opps was hoping that I make the news aye
But if I die then it's the life I had to choose yeah
Like bitch I play the game and I ain't play to lose yeah
Like don't come near me if you cannot take a bruise yeah
I know some bitches who'd let you fuck for some shoes yeah
You're crush been fucking me while you looking for clues yeah
Delete the tapes but she going to post it for some views yeah
The only thing I learnt to drink was drink purple juice yeah
I know the opps was hoping that I make the news aye




But if I die then it's the life I had to choose yeah
Like bitch I play the game and I ain't play to lose yeah
