Discussion
Kevin Gates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes you got to put your pride to the side (Yung Lan on da track)
In this game that we call life (can't be no rig)
You know I'm tryna get back to my kids
You know I can't win with these crackers
I'm a nigga and they look at me like a nigga (for real)
Huh, like let me go lay down right quick (fuck it!)

No self worth, being honest
But I converse with some bosses (I do)
I'm a real earner and I worked hard
Thanking God look what I accomplished
Inside support system awkward
Take time with trial only options
Division nine, no PC in Chicago, fighting drama
My relationship getting rocky (yes)
No spousal trust, I was moving unconscious
I was talking with Jay and
Recruited a move that allotted me counsel
Back and forth without representation
Embarrassing ran out of options ( I did)
Told my attorney go get with the DA
He come with a deal and I'm copping (leggo)
Aiming for thirty-six months
But they came with a thirty so fuck it I signed it
He think I'm stupid, well fuck what he think
I ain't fight with them crackers, I got out they way
Stateville, now I'm going up state
With the gang members they respectin' my name
You wanted a man, you play with the kid
You gon' have to kill em, you one of the greats

No kneadin' sand, I was suffering
My head hurt in a concussion
Broke bed on me, fuck it
I don't think they really love me
Trust issues, I'm accustomed
Writers block, no question nah
Already know you gon' lie to me ain't no need to discuss it (woo)
Ain't no need to discuss it
We have a heated discussion
Internet beef, I don't entertain
I know I done came up from nothing (grr)
I'm getting straight to the money (come 'ere)
I'm getting straight to the money (come 'ere)
Already know you gon lie to me, no ain't need to discuss it

I'm an energy person and I'm at ease
But the minute you hurt me, you gotta leave
Got some niggas who love me, they outta reach
Got some children who coming up, gotta teach (woo)
Got some family who mad 'cause they tryna leach
Got some big booty women who I don't need
Master manipulation been manipulated
But it really don't bother me
Gold trim platinum mat white beans
V12 yellow caliber gets
Red guts, panoramic my roof
Any given moment I could hop in a jet
In the weight room getting rid of weight
Pat touchdown doin a set
Hit the space bar click and refresh
Making salat when I need to reset
Turnin' the pot got me whipping the bet on up on it
Communication with the joint
Still going in tryna prove a point
I don't socialize, I don't see a point
Fifty wrapped up stuffed in the pump underneath the trunk
Order what you want
Laying in the trunk, sipping red wine
I don't give a fuck I do what I want

No kneadin' sand, I was suffering
My head hurt in a concussion
Broke bed on me, fuck it
I don't think they really love me
Trust issues, I'm accustomed
Writers block, no question nah
Already know you gon' lie to me ain't no need to discuss it (woo)
Ain't no need to discuss it
We have a heated discussion
Internet beef, I don't entertain
I know I done came up from nothing (grr)
I'm getting straight to the money (come 'ere)




I'm getting straight to the money (come 'ere)
Already know you gon lie to me, no ain't need to discuss it
