Been A Minute
Julian Volare Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You guys are annoying
Literally in the closet and I just kissed Sam on the cheek
Aw none of that should be happening
(Yea yea, yea yea)
My exes wish they caught me cheating
I ain't cheat but if I did you wouldn't see it
I'm a dog, where's my leash at
First two practice and I still ain't master it

First BM will have a W after it
I can't be doing no more dissing in my songs
I'm above that, but I know y'all love that
I ain't doing no more love songs I ain't into that
You won't catch me and no female in no pumpkin patch
I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do
I'm doing what I gotta do
Mixing 'cause I gotta do it
Me but I still gotta prove it
Call me King Julian because I like to move it move it
When I'm in the shower I be singing all my own music
Acting out performances the fans will sing along to it
Moved onto the next song, and everyone already knew it
Shooters shoot, so you know that I'm still shooting
I can't wait to say I did it to the ones who knew I'd do it
It's been a minute since I've been in my bag
It's been a minute since I broken her back
It's been a minute since I dialed her back
What I remember don't recall when I asked
Yea, she loved me but I ain't love her back
(Yuh)
Daytime issa darty
Snacking on that sugar
Smoking on that smarty
Moved on from the sharpies
Damn she look like Barbie
and I ain't no Ken but I still took her out that party
Wylin that is not me
So then why she block me
Miss me, I hope so
Hook up was a no show
You either like me or you just don't
I get it, this industry is cut throat
All my jobs were cut throat
Always had to duck low
Often was my fault
I always do the utmost
I get it I'm flamboyant
That's just all my gusto
Stepped on like a jump rope
Skipped over like a jump rope, uh oh (whoo)
I can't be done though
After all the verses I wrote
Life can change from just one vote yea (yea)
I don't see no evil
If they lied to you they ain't my people
I can tell it's been a minute since she seen a steeple
I don't gotta go deeper
Bro you know she ain't a keeper
It's been a minute since I've been in my bag
It's been a minute since I broken her back
It's been a minute since I dialed her back
What I remember don't recall when I asked
Yea, she loved me but I ain't love her back
It's been a minute since I've been in my bag
It's been a minute since I broken her back
It's been a minute since I dialed her back (ay)

What I remember don't recall when I asked (ay)
She loved me but I ain't love her back
