Pay Attention
K. Kush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came in with all this money
I know that they all want it
But you're the one who gets it
Should've paid more attention

I should be paying more attention to you
I should be paying more attention to you
I should be paying more attention to you
I should be paying more attention to you

Shit, smoke and mirrors, dollar bills
Flexin' for no reason, get it how you live
Crack a ceil, bottle poppin' on another level
Red light special, she ain't selfish, workin' with no discretion
Twistin', turnin', my mind blown and her mind gone
She slow rollin', ain't no ho in her time zone
Face right, stage lights turn her out
Act like she the only one in here
That can twerk for real and that's without a doubt, like damn
Dj, run that back
I think that was her song
And she don't know how to act
Like damn, all night, I been with it
All night she been gettin' it
All night she been winnin'

I should be paying more attention to you
All this money being thrown
I should be paying more attention to you (All these lights shinin')
Don't none of that shit outshine you
I should be paying more attention to you (Ya already know, let go)

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up

(Came in with all this money)
And everybody know it, chain still glowin'
Kick it with my folk that ain't been here before
Thought I seen everything I can see on the low
Wish I seen from the door that you the best of the best
Make a broke motherfucker thumb through a check
I ain't really trippin' on ya homegirl, she was in her own world
Shawty, I'm just hopin' you next
To show up and show out
Ya make it hard for me just to roll up and roll out
To be honest you the type of chick a nigga search for when he have to go out
Spotlight, night life, live in V.I. Every weekend
I ain't trippin' on a busta that really ain't nothin'
I'm hopin' you down for the creepin', like damn
Super throwed, kill the po
The whole club had to show you love
The way you toot it up and get it off the floor, like damn
Tell me you know you the greatest
Ain't a chick in the V.I.P. That can shine like this
Baby girl, you know you made it

I should be paying more attention to you
All this money being thrown
I should be paying more attention to you (All these lights shinin')
Don't none of that shit outshine you
I should be paying more attention to you (Ya already know, let go)

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up (I should be paying more attention to you)

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up

Came in with all this money
I ain't trippin' on this shit I got right here
I know that they all want it
You just tryna make it happen in the club, ya feel me?
But you're the one who gets it
But you the baddest chick in this motherfucker
Should've paid more attention
I was slippin' but I'm here now, what's happening?

I should be paying more attention to you
Let go
I should be paying more attention to you
Let go
I should be paying more attention to you
Let go
I should be paying more attention to you
Let go

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up

Toot it up, turn ya out
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up
Show out when you show up

I should be paying more attention to you
(I should be paying more attention to you)
I should be paying more attention to you
(I should be paying more attention to you)

I should be paying more attention to you
I should be paying more attention to you




I should be paying more attention to you
I should be paying more attention to you
