Kray-Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope to see your face at the window
Rolling up a blunt
Passing by the ghost town, passing by your hometown
Driving by the block
Hope to see your face at the window
Rolling up a blunt
Passing by the ghost town, passing by your-
She caught 'em up, what a smell, Blue Chanel
I shine like diamonds on my neck, VVS
She called her friend, pussy wet like the ocean, I dive in
Baby I wanna slide in, I was in the vibing
Said you're home alone, what a timing
She said she have demons, but I know that she was lying
Yeah I gotta go 'cause I'm always grinding
You're the one that showed me how to live
When I need you the most you gotta leave
Drowning in my feelings with a-
Hard time pillow, black tinted limo
Life's a movie, shorty bad, Black Widow
Feel like Batman, I'm your hometown hero
Money like Kobe, I replaced all the rings for zeros
Driving by the block
Hope to see your face at the window
Rolling up a blunt
Passing by the ghost town, passing by your hometown
Driving by the block
Hope to see your face at the window
Rolling up a blunt
Passing by the ghost town, passing by your-
Bro, bro that the craziest shit I've heard, Bl4z3
Like ain't no way bro
Like you're starting sum with this shit, Motherfucker, Like
Nah, you will gon' blow up with this, that's for sure
'Cause we on the making
('Cause we on the making)
I've been drinking, I've been smoking
I've been drinking, I've been smoking
I've been drinking, I've been smoking
Yeah, I know you're crying, tho
Turn off the flames but you set the fire on
Me and my body, trust nobody, you just wanna go
Yeah, I'm feeling done, yeah I'm getting done
You always hurting me, I did the same to you
Now I'm deleting all your fotos and your videos
And I wanna be with you and give you all my love
But before I die for you, I rather die alone
(But before I die for you, I rather die alone)
(But before I die for you, I rather die alone)
Body so hot but my heart made of ice
Play with my feelings, you getting a price
Making it true with a couple of lies, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
Counting the numbers, I'm making the dream
Saturday morning with me and my team
I'm seeing her face and I cannot sleep, yeah
I've been drinking, I've been smoking
Late night drive, I'm overdosing
Brand new truck, that's how we cruisin'
Fuck you and I fuck you cousin
I've been drinking, I've been smoking
Late night drive, I'm overdosing
Brand new truck, that's how we cruisin'
Fuck you and I fuck you cousin
Yeah, I know you're crying, tho
Turn off the flames but you set the fire on
Me and my body, trust nobody, you just wanna go
Yeah, I'm feeling done, yeah I'm getting done
You always hurting me, I did the same to you
Now I'm deleting all your fotos and your videos
And I wanna be with you and give you all my love
But before I die for you, I rather die alone

The song starts with the artist driving through familiar streets, hoping to catch a glimpse of a loved one's face at the window. The repetition of driving by the block and rolling up a blunt sets a nostalgic and contemplative tone, hinting at a sense of longing and yearning for connection. Passing by the ghost town and the hometown symbolize the memories and emotions associated with a place where important moments took place.
As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to a more intimate scene where the artist describes popping a pill and lying down with someone, surrounded by luxurious imagery such as diamonds on the neck and scents of Blue Chanel. The artist portrays a sense of hedonism and escapism amidst the complexities of relationships and personal demons. The mention of diving into the wet ocean-like depths of someone's emotions suggests a willingness to explore vulnerability and intimacy despite the underlying uncertainties and struggles.
