What's My Name
Lafayette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let you hold my name love
Yah
Don't you draw those shades up
Yah
I bite down my chains from
Yah
Shackled in my room some
Yah

I cannot tease or toy
Grip the hilt of my sword
Slice me from tip to toe
All I do is flip the foam
Cool side cool side pose
Twist and turn in two rows
Limbs crushing till they dead
Sleep baby rest your head
Cheapened in my life for those
Clear and pink fill my void
Door at the end of my hall
Always seem to hear it all
New chain new chain cold
Chord wired in my throat
Hard wired in my brain
Please girl take my name


Let you hold my name love
Yah
Don't you draw those shades up
Yah
I bite down my chains from
Yah
Shackled in my room some
Yah

Feel the sheets twisting round my neck
For my baby nest
I will try my best huh
Feel the heat from your deep breaths
For my baby's breast
Resting on my chest huh uh
Girl I must confess
This is love unless
My lust in check huh
I could fuck all night don't test
I ain't come out west
Just to stay so dressed yah

Took my coat off willing,
Girl those flowers wilted
Take them out that vase
And give me a taste
Show me the finer things
I wanna give you chains
I wanna tie you down
I wanna new bed frame
I wanna brand new Porsche
I wanna view from the porch
Don't wanna view from coach
Want some Lou and poach
Running on that bread
Wanna be in that head
Wanna know what you made of
Wanna know where you staying

Let you hold my name love
Yah
Don't you draw those shades up
Yah
I bite down my chains from
Yah




Shackled in my room some
Yah
