Kevin Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touching me gently sayin' she never wanna let it go
While gambling the point we seen the money go
Touching me gently sayin' she never wanna let it go
Pressure when we sexin' goin' ugh, feel that dick,
Now we 'bout to break all of the rules sound off
I ain't had sex in a long while after this she'll think about me for a long while
Fallin' off I'm coughing no chiropractor in office
Need your back crack and leg work, bed work I'm awesome
Parking garages, your office fuckin' co-workers be talkin', fuck'em
Throwin' dick in your guts this p90x what's up pants saggin'
Blowin these blunts all in public sayin' you love
Now we 'bout to break all of the rules sound off
Ain't had sex in a long while but after this she'll think about me for a long time.
Conversations in the dark emotions get exposed
Sayin' whatever talked about no one should ever know
Body exotic like them models in the videos treating the dick
Just like a stripper when she on the pole.
While gambling the point we seen the money go
Touching me gently sayin' she never wanna let it go
While gambling the point we seen the money go
Touching me gently sayin' she never wanna let it go
Breakfast, brunch and checkin' up linen made when mess it up
Mike Tyson fightin' with a lotta bitin'
Gotta lot a stripes I'm like Mike The Tiger
Eat pussy up yeah appetizer, looks appetizing like excitement,
She like to ride showed the pipe and she got on top like a motorcycle,
I'm a street nigga pull hair, in the projects
I'm good there fuck with'chu that's sayin' something any other bitch could have,
Suck toes tongue in between what we have nothing come between,
In and out of this pressure (sexin') smoke detector (no smoke detected)
Jumpin' hard and know she felt it, makin' faces I'm strokin' heavy
My song waiting bumpin' loud on repeat, seem the sex is always greater
Hit the loud hit the lean speakin' with a soft tongue then know we all lost
Conversations in the dark emotions get exposed
Sayin' whatever talked about no one should ever know
Body exotic like them models in the videos treating the dick
Just like a stripper when she on the pole.
While gambling the point we seen the money go
Touching me gently sayin' she never wanna let it go
While gambling the point we seen the money go
Touching me gently sayin' she never wanna let it go
