Drugs
Landon Cube Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we fuck for once without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can we chill a month without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can you call me once when you're not drunk so I know it's real?
So I know it's real, so I know it's real
Can we fuck for once without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can we chill a month without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can you call me once when you're not drunk so I know it's real?
So I know it's real, so I know it's real

It's like we still have sex but we don't make love
It's like we don't connect if we don't take drugs
I got a little extra space we could both take up
And you could fuck me in the morning till we get up
'Cause I don't know how to feel, I don't know how to feel
When you lie to my face I don't know how to deal
I don't know if it's real, I don't know if it's real
Need a whole lot of space so I know that it's real

But she had other plans
Told me wait a minute
She grabbed me by the hand
She just sentimental
She don't know how to love
I'm just so defensive
I don't know how to trust
I don't know who to trust (don't know who to trust)

Can we fuck for once without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can we chill a month without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can you call me once when you're not drunk so I know it's real?
So I know it's real, so I know it's real
Can we fuck for once without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can we chill a month without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can you call me once when you're not drunk so I know it's real?
So I know it's real, so I know it's real

I don't know if we could just be friends
But I don't know if we could do this 'til the end
I don't know if we could just be friends
'Cause I don't if I could just pretend
I don't know if we could just be friends
But I don't know if we could do this 'til the end
I don't know if we could just be friends
'Cause I don't if I could just pretend

Can we fuck for once without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can we chill a month without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can you call me once when you're not drunk so I know it's real?
So I know it's real, so I know it's real
Can we fuck for once without them drugs so I know it's real?
Can we chill a month without them drugs so I know it's real?




Can you call me once when you're not drunk so I know it's real?
So I know it's real, so I know it's real
