I Wanna Know
KENNY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna band n I wanna bag
I wanna grand n I want it bad
I wanna boast I wanna brag
I wanna toast I don't wanna lack
I'm doin' the most while you sittin' back
I'll never fold but you will collapse
Got me some foes hope I don't attack
Don't answer my phone leave a voicemail for
I wanna go I don't wanna chat
I'm comin' in first while you are in last
I want it gold nah I want it plat
Merchandise sold my name on your back
I'm just gon' flow hop in a kayak
Only my family havin' my back
Puttin' the fear back into factor
This a clean break it ain't just a fracture
Too High To Come Down
Too Fly To Touch Down
You Like How This Sound
I Hear It Playin' Round My Town
I wanna band n I wanna bag
I wanna grand n I want it bad
I wanna boast I wanna brag
I wanna toast I don't wanna lack
I'm doin' the most while you sittin' back
I'll never fold but you will collapse
Got me some foes hope I don't attack
Don't answer my phone leave a voicemail for
Put on a seatbelt n fasten
I'm bouta sit you down teach you a lesson
It's all about passion
Don't waste your time cause time always passing
Show up to parties High Fashion
Yuh Stay Flashing
Thought she was bad then I looked at her friend
You know I'm smashing
I'm bouta leave it right here
Nah I could go on and on pass me a beer
Whatchu talkin' bout
Still call it Sears
21 is my year
Start the ignition I'm in full gear
Hype up myself when I look in the mirror
Finally dropping I'm making it clear
Shoutout the GOATs yuh
Mac and then X and then Juice and then Doom
Talent and passion
You left us too soon
Wish I just could have been in the same room
I assume that y'all got the dopest of halos
Si eres un falso then no te quiero
Tú eres pendejo
Extraño mi perro
Usando sombrero
Punto de visitar Rio Janeiro
Guapas mujeres, buenas bebidas y mucho dinero
Peso Montero
So Fuego
Un Más Modelo
Bouta Make History
Fly round the world in a week I'm so slippery
Halloween night pullin' off trickery
Knockin' down doors don't do no trick or treat
Shit goin' crazy
People be tellin' me I'm the next Shady
Doubtin' me 'til I'm the greatest of all yuh
Whippin' Mercedes
Stealing ya Ladies
Got a song with Yung Gravy
Done getting faded
No need to save me
I grind 'n you pay me




Imma rap til I'm eighty
Take this to the grave with me

I wish country music like this was still being made. There's very few new country songs that are.
