L.B.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hard to see the pain when you use both eyes
Try and hide
We all gone see u under this line light
Tell a lie
See the truth once we see both sides
It's the been the same since 2005

2012 is the year I gotta lineup
Fat nigga coodnt keep his fly up
My homies n I always ones to keep the night up
Still coodnt grasp hey man don't keep ur eyes up

Keepem straight ahead
Act tough blow it up oxy in ya chest
Or at yo back cuz these niggas gon try yo best
Or when yo eating try ya best not to leave a mess
That's what my grandma said

I'm so bored skateboard I'm bout to flip
PlayStation off chords I gotta twist
Never shot my shot I'm gonna miss
Airballllllll Man not even the rim
Man I swear I heart the ignorance
Man in the mirror only man im gonna diss




I stay high no weed just pride I miss
When I wish I wasn't dead
