Ki-2 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lemme start from the top born in the city
Now these niggas acting fifty, think they out to get me
But my niggas wit me I don't need no fucking blicky
Get to acting up, then we getting busy
Sending shots, man I'm always on the block
You can catch me outside, even when it's not hot
I can put it on my soul
You will never get the drop
I'm just another rap nigga tryna reach the top
They just mad they can't get like me, uh
Like me, you know I love the white tees
Ground level you can kiss my Nikes
Niggas always stay mad steady tryna fight me
Primary Lotus a nigga like Rock Lee
Ain't no suicide, all my niggas too alive
Ain't no way we switching sides
And they down to ride
Eyes open real wide
Come and look inside
I thought I quit but I'm back spitting shit
Tryna make a dollar outta sixty nine cents
My mind kinda hanging in the past time
No going back, man, I'm sticking to my timeline
Things move on, people tend to change
No matter what man nothing stayed the same
Gotta blast, hit the stash, uh
Rewind then hit we the pad, yeah
Dig a grave cause I gotta couple Ms on the way
SolReid said, "we gotta stop playing"
Hoes be craving we give 'em the boot
No ice cream, yeah, they need us like a sweet tooth
My rhymes like glucose Aunt Jemima
Stay making plays trading war stories with the gang
Hold up, me and Preston holding down first place
Gave ya bitch a lick, tell me how my dick taste
Shit cut deep
Up late night

Locked in a dream
Shit cut deep
Up late night
Can't fall asleep
Locked in a dream
Mind going crazy
I ain't write no shit in days
Staying up late, tryna get my shit straight
Work a lil' job putting food on the plate
Tired of the trap, yeah, I'm back up in the books
Don't get it twisted ain't no half way crook
Really bout mine, niggas always on the grind
Tryna get better each day that pass by
We just do it, you know what we pursing
They just mad they can't get like me, uh
Like me, you know I love the white tees, uh
Ground level you can kiss my Nikes
Niggas always stay mad steady tryna fight me, uh
Primary Lotus a nigga like Rock Lee, uh
Ain't no suicide, all my niggas too alive
Ain't no way we switching sides
