Kevin Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said the darkness knows you well
That lesson of love, all that it was
I need you to see
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You've got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
That lil' pussy got some power in it
That lil' pussy got some power in it
Super soaker, need a towel for it
Drippin' on me like a showerhead
Throw it back and arch your back when you doin' me
Bust in back to back to back when you doin' me
I be runnin' back to get it back when I'm through
Lotta Birkin bags, back to back
Got the black and the white and the blue
That lil' pussy doin' somethin' to me
Ooh, that lil' pussy feel good to me
You know what you got and girl, you got a lot
Skeet from the back and just wanna watch
Climb up on top and ride me like a bike
You got that power, power
Tryna beat it for hour, hours
If it's yours, it's mines, it's ours
You know what I like, you know how to make me wanna want it
I ain't screamin', come over, jump on it
You know what I like, you know how to make me wanna want it
You ridin' this dick like you own it
You know what I like, you know how to make me wanna want it
You know how to make me go crazy
And you know that pussy got power, baby
You're makin' me wanna come tear it up
So we hide away and never tell
You said the darkness knows you well
That lesson of love, all that it was
I need you to see
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You've got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
Got that power over me
Bitch a gangster, I be puttin' her hands, all the way behind her back
I be divin', when I be divin' she be, "Dick, dick, dick"
"When you finish cummin' all over my stomach, bae could you please stay over?"
"I need your left hand for the grip of my hair, could you please put your free hand over?"
"When you finish cummin' all over my stomach, bae could you please stay over?"
"I need your left hand for the grip of my hair, could you please put your free hand over?"
You're all to myself when I grip on your pelvis, you know and nah we ain't low
Don't need no audience, we had an argument, this is how we made up
Say you got that power inside of your body, the faces you make and I love how you shakin'
You pointin' your toes when I tell you to take it
That dick in your stomach, I don't do no fakin', you know I'm a gangster
Watch out, I'ma kiss on your waist, it ain't no interruptin' our session
I go in the matrix, hold up, I slow up the pace, then I apply a lil' pressure
You know what I like, you know how to make me wanna want it
I ain't screamin', come over, jump on it
You know what I like, you know how to make me wanna want it
You ridin' this dick like you own it
You know what I like, you know how to make me wanna want it
You know how to make me go crazy
And you know that pussy got power, baby
You makin' me wanna come tear it up
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You've got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
- banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
- Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
- „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

So little verbal aloboration on the fact of love and the life that a real person is hopefully living and going through as a human!.....
Thanks for the realization.......
You just made me understand that I have put myself on a "back burner" for the last 14 years. Because of my twin flame.
Who gave me the opportunity to create a life, children, family and a life that has only been able to obtain via that flame!.
She burns me and puts me out at the same time.
But I only got ignited because of her!
My love felicia!!!
Gates is a fucking champion!
Stay focused people.
When you fight through all the negatives to barely even get to the positive because of one person knowingly or not.....
Thats POWER!
