Collide
K.A.L.I.L. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(It's D-raco)
It's funny how life works, one minute you're here but then the next you're in the dirt
It's like I'm stuck inside a hearse, had alot of things to do and I couldn't reharse
I'm dealin' with a trauma, got way too much drama
Think I need my momma, I just need some lovin
Bullets got me jumpin', bullies got me frontin'
What am I gon' tell them, I'm sittin' here mumbling
12 Runnin' at me, 12 finna catch me, gotta think fast, gotta come up with a plan

I don't want these charges, they keep getting larger
Let me take one more though, I'm gon' need my charger
Pin point us in the middle of the air, 999 couldn't land anywhere
Had to do something to get me out of there, had one option, warned you last year
Yeah you heard him he said suicide
If you try to take his drugs
Homicide if you reach for his gun
He would never forgive you, you'd run, you would regret what you had done
27 And 21 club, Imma' have to go pray on a rug
Somebody gon' need to give me a hug, what can you do when your body feels drugged
He's armed and dangerous, goin' insane again
Didn't know how to pray amen, didn't know how to make amends
I'm sure that he is happy now, He 'on gotta live it out
In his success I'm winnin' now, my body got me chillin' now
I'm paranoid I don't want this noise
Can we please shut it off before I get annoyed
Stop tryna' toy, please just stop
I don't wanna have you sittin' here while I drop

Shut it off, shut it off, please, please shut it off
Please I cant take it, shut it off, shut it off
