Vices
Latrell James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They thinkin they their boxes
Ain’t no way to box this
I just the do my own thing
That’s the trending topic
Vacay in the tropics
Sun gleam off my bicep
She calling me chocolate
That’s the trending topic
Trick it if you got it
Cause can’t take it out here
Take that whole deposit
Liquor out the faucet
This that pimp my ride shit
See exhibit smiling
This that pimp my ride shit
See exhibit smiling
I don’t feel no pressure
I apply the vice grip.
I take no advices
I take on my vices
I go get my license
I know what rights is
Not trying to be righteous
I know where the line is
Jokes on you Jared Leto
Get no bread, you on keto
This the jungle, nat geo
Why would you F**king Meddle with magneto
Play your role, boy you Tito
Watch me hit the Billie Jean
Plain or simple, him of me tho
Pride will kill ya, but you ego
Business smooth, Rick Pitino
Brass knuckles, William Regal
Fight for mine, to the dime
Take a fry from a seagull
I survive, never mind if it’s mine or it’s legal
I survive, never mind, if it’s mine
don’t feel no pressure
I apply the vice grip.
I take no advices
I take on my vices
I go get my license
I know what rights is
Not trying to be righteous
I know where the line is
They thinkin they their boxes
Ain’t no way to box this
I just the do my own thing
That’s the trending topic
Vacay in the tropics
Sun gleam off my bicep
She calling me chocolate
That’s the trending topic
Trick it if you got it
Cause can’t take it out here
Take that whole deposit
Liquor out the faucet
This that pimp my ride shit
See exhibit smiling




This that pimp my ride shit
See exhibit smiling
