Stroke
Lexy & K. Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t give a fuck about it
Grammys or platinum plaques
Said I could give a fuck about it
As long as my art is intact
Doing me is all I know (all I know)
Loving me is all I know (all I know)
And finally I can feel the heat
Had the coldest feet
Grabbed the blanket
And pulled it over me
But to be the man
Must get up and move
Chase the butterflies
Don’t get comfortable
She said she believes in me
I said “I believe in me too”
But right now I need the proof
Let’s make this a dream come true
I know that I’ll see it through
We got the jazz, we got the jazz, we got the jazz
(You know that I'll see it through)
We got the jazz, we got the jazz, we got the jazz
(I know you'll see it through)
My music gets better and better
My women get badder and badder
I started getting more cheddar
Pockets got fatter and fatter
I'm back with the splatter
Paint brush on the canvas
Love it when you speak Spanish
Hit me with the "que rico"
When I eat it like a sandwich (woah)
Hit me with the "que rico"
When I eat it like a sandwich (woah)
V2
I call this shit V2 ‘cause I’m back baby
And it’s see through and it’s so clean
And it’s all mine, man he’s so mean
Na na na
Woo
