Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, just tune in
I'll be there

She watch me blaze blunts, she saw me take flights
I heard her say once, that she will stay twice
I watched us fall apart, I saw us making up
You watched me live a dream, I saw you wake me up
She watch me on that stage, she saw me gets some love
From the game, and yeah I do but she never does
She watch me fix a verse, and I saw me break her heart
I watched her put me first, saw me climbing the charts
You watch us get along, I see us getting cold
You watch me write a song, but I saw you dance alone
I watched your heat gets warm, I feel what you see
I think I'll start recordin', I hear music

Radio, radio, listen to the radio, radio
Promise, I'll believe, promise you will mean
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time

She watch me blaze blunts, she saw me take flights
I heard her say once, that she will stay twice
I watched her watch me grind, I saw her getting lonely
I watched her give me time, I saw myself a Rollie
You watch me take your light, I saw a darker you
I watched you stand and fight, I saw a bust through
She watch me take a flame, she saw me spit some hit
I watched her giver her heart, I saw me killed that beat
I watched you bare your soul, she saw me in them kits
I watched you be my miss, I saw me making hits
I watched you commit, I saw me let us slide
Watched you wanna get hitched, I took you for a ride
You watched us moving forward, you saw us going farther
You watched me and my daughter, you saw me going father
I watched you stare at me, I feel what you see
You play my melody, I hear music

Radio, radio, listen to the radio, radio
Promise, I'll believe, promise you will mean
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time

Bheka I watched you love me good, I've seen you hate too
But now it's time to dance 'cause you and I are great music





Promise, I'll believe, promise you will mean
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time
