Stop
Kina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, yeah, finally got my shot
What I've been dreaming
Seems could finally come around, right
But can't help feel time run out

Just one push, we wiped out
'Cause, oh, here we go, yeah
Hell, I can see it been told
And I can see the signs
I think you better stop
The world could end before I be a star

Is everybody asleep? Life as we know
It is on the way to fizz out
Right, running to malls, catch markdowns
Ignoring life force breakdowns

You go and you go, yeah
Rushing and building your dreams
On such a shaky ground, I think you better stop
The world could end, she needs attention

Hey you, I wanna live
World's slipping away while you're living life
You can't see the bigger picture

Hey, you, I said, I'm tryna get mine
Life's slipping away while you're working hard
Please just stop and take a listen

Hey, you, I wanna live, ooh
World's slipping away while you're living life
You can't see the bigger picture

Hey, you, I said, I'm tryna get mine
Life's slipping away while you're working hard
Please, just stop and take a listen

Hey, you, tryna live
World's slipping away
Yeah, slipping, yeah, yeah

Please stop and take a listen




I wanna live, I wanna live, yeah
Do you wanna live? I wanna live
