Latrell James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pilot, the ending, the pressures amounting, I'm zion
Wyatt get older he knows the true person that I am
I focus on feeling emotions are truer than science
I'm human I know when I fuck up, Im feeling defiant
Salt in my wounds, feel the burn from the tears that I'm crying
I'm human I know when I fuck up, I'm feeling remorse
In the hood or on a shirt I'm in love with a horse
I was just trying to find angels, bring the dead back for a day tho
See Tatum go for the game tho, I do it all for the gang tho
A good time will outweigh the pain though
But I don know who I became though
Shit I be missing my cousin, he used to play all my singles
I aint got much to explain though, I aint got much to explain though
Shit I be missing the homies, We aint got much time to hang though
I aint got much to explain though, I aint got much to explain though
When Dillon was running for Bengals, I was still minimum wage though
Way before Cheerio jingle, Now I be feeling so Django
Life can imitate Jenga, Im under cool in the danger
Thats only fueling my anger, I load up two in the chamber
My mental weapon a shotgun, y'all better go get your popcorn
Aint no one thinking about help now, everyone put up their iPhones
Everyone put up their iPhones, I watch it live in my timezone
Aint no one thinking about help now, I think I'm living in hell now
Ooooh
Tell me what you're all about
So I can see your clearly
Brace yourself
Show up and turn out
