So I don't speak to you
Excuse me, you're not a plug
So I don't speak to you
Excuse me, you're not a plug
So I don't speak to you
Excuse me, you're not a plug
So I don't speak to you
How you get all that in a pair of jeans?
Girl you some action I've never seen
Girl you some action I've never seen
How you get all that in a pair of jeans?
And I just wanna take you home and lay you down
And I just wanna take you home and lay you down
And I used to deal with your padre, a long time ago
Since then I moved on, but I still deal dope
Takin' trips out to Bogota, I used to cash hard stales
I was in love with your madre
Go meet her, now I got my own cartel
Ain't from Puerto Rico, move to New Orleans
South Baton Rouge, sellin' cocaine
Don't you feel the love in the air?
Don't you smell the drugs in the air?
When you come to Colombia
When you come to Colombia
Girl you some
Girl you some action I've never seen
[?]
Don't you feel the love in the air?
In the air
You can smell the drugs in the air
In the air
When you come to Colombia
I am not a king nor a don
I am something way far beyond
And I done mixed the land of the stars
I be singin' praise to Allah
I be up all night
We was children when we first met
Playin' in [?] fields
Runnin' through [?]
Didn't even know what it is
Helpin' Bobby crush the cocoa leaves
That was way before machines
Used to love [?] in the villa
Makin' noise where no one would hear us
Goddamn I don't wanna leave
And damn I don't wanna leave
You [?]
And I gotta ship the perico
Dinero and [?] Americano
And I gotta get it back overseas
And I gotta get it back overseas
Dinero and [?] Americano
And I gotta get it back overseas
How you get all that in a pair of jeans?
Girl you some action I've never seen
Girl you some action I've never seen
How you get all that in a pair of jeans?
And I just wanna take you home and lay you down
And I just wanna take you home and lay you down
And I used to deal with your padre, a long time ago
Since then I moved on, but I still deal dope
Takin' trips out to Bogota, I used to cash hard stales
I was in love with your madre
Go meet her, now I got my own cartel
Run it up, bein' broke a bad dream
NASCAR with the NASCAR seats
Jaguar with the all black feets
TO6 spillin' Act on me
Hit the mall, I ran out of shit to buy
Ball, got a lot of shit that I supply
[?] mine then you know I gotta ride
Bitch that I'm with, she won't even visit
I ain't even trippin', fuck her, she can die
Dyin' inside, thinkin' homicide
I call where I hate to be alive
Letters, I am contemplatin' suicide
Say I'm keepin' this between you and I
Wanna make love, she ain't got the time
Always in her feelings, blamin' it on business
I just got a mistress, fuck all that [?]
I want you to know I'm lovin' somethin' else
I want you to know I'm lovin' someone else
I want you to know I'm fuckin' in your bed
I hope what I wrote be fuckin' with your head
You should have tried to hold on to me
You should have tried to hold on to me
You gon' miss me one day
You gon' miss me one day
You gon' miss me one day
You gon' miss me one day
The song Jus Wanna by Kevin Gates talks about his illegal drug dealings and his love interest. The lyrics depict how Gates is careful with who he speaks to about his business, as he only talks to people he trusts, the plugs. The line "Excuse me, you're not a plug, so I don't speak to you," reiterates this point. Gates then talks about his love interest, how she has a body he has never seen before, and how he wants to take her home and lay her down. He then talks about his past dealing drugs, the trips he used to take, and how he has moved on to his own cartel, alluding to his continued involvement in the drug trade.
The lyrics are explicit and suggestive, with Gates talking about his sexual desires and criminal activities. The theme of longing for someone's love, but being involved in illegal activities, is clear in the song. The lyrics are catchy and, combined with the beat, make for an interesting song.

@4BredBud
We were children when we first met,
playing in poppy fields,
running through herion,
didnt even know what it is,
helping papi crush the coca leaves,
that was way before machines,
used to love visiting the villa,
making noise praying no one hear us,
goddamn i dont wanna leave,
damn i dont wanna leave..
I can imagine that whole scene as he sings.

Bitch that I'm with, she won't even visit
I ain't even trippin', fuck her, she can die
Dyin' inside, thinkin' homicide
Bye, cold world I hate to be alive
Letters, I am contemplatin' suicide
Say I'm keepin' this between you and I
Wanna make love, she ain't got the time
Always in her feelings, blamin' it on business
I just got a mistress, fuck her intuition
I want you to know I'm lovin' somethin' else
I want you to know I'm lovin' someone else
I want you to know I'm fuckin' in your bed
I hope what I wrote be fuckin' with your head
You should have tried to hold on to me
(Dont ever let me go x2)
You should have tried to hold on to me
(Dont ever let me go x2)
You gon' miss me one day
You gon' miss me one day
You gon' miss me one day
You gon' miss me one day
You should have tried to hold on to me
You should have tried to hold on to me
Those lyrics speak so much fucking volume.

I heard this song for the first time 2 days ago and I cannot stop listening.. The entire production is absolutely incredible, almost mind blowing if youβre deep into sound and can hear and vibe to the under and overtones of this song.
Absolutely beautiful
