Going Down South
Kenny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told her that I loved her
That was the first time a nigga smoked and hustled
Talking crazy, we had to snuff em
They wanted to fuck, we had to bust em
Swervin to each lane
Nigga we was thuggin'
Nigga played with me wrong
They did it on the muscle
And fuk that derty bitch
I'll never love her
Bitch it's Kenny MillS the down south hustla
Wasn't the only nigga in glen oaks on a flat
Wasn't the only nigga felt played when they got jacked
Took em a couple days, but shit they got em back
Hood hot so we riding with a strap
Niggas hood hop, claimin' this and that
We in da hood nah, pussy we got straps
Used to catch 1s now they double back
Feeling pussy as a bitch without a strap
Punch a nigga down, but what if he got his strap
Then it's Kenny Mill$ dead, closed casket
That's the main reason I can not be lackin'
Know it's 5 years momma it's 4 my protection
Fuckin' with this bad bitch and yea we sextin'
Damn bitch I love you lemme see them titties
Is you a broke bitch
Or is you bout yo business
If you really raw, ain't worried bout them children
Go really far if you hop right in it
You can really soar if you let go of them niggas
I was in court lookin' like an idiot
Ain't worried bout a sentence, just worried bout my nigga
Every fucking day, yes I fuckin' miss him
Nigga talk cray, let them tips hit you
You a fuckin' lame nigga off the simpsons
I think his name Milhouse Van Houten
Two pounds on me slidin on I-10
Atchafalaya then back to the apartments
Choppa on me cause a nigga sendin' threats
Can't sell a p, say I'm not from Lafayette
It was me Gerald Trenard In a trench
I ain't trippin' as long as I'm 6 off the bench
Couple things I'd of go to jail for, but never a snitch
Like to keep everything close knit
First time I told her that I loved her
That was the first time a nigga smoked and hustled
Remember a nigga talking crazy, we had to snuff em
All the wanted to fuck, we had to bust em
Swervin to each lane
Nigga we was thuggin'
Nigga played with me wrong
They did it on the muscle
And fuk that derty bitch




I'll never love her
Bitch it's Kenny MillS the down south hustla
