My heart
Lil' Wayne Feat. Static Major Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When this world comes crashing
And time flies right past us
Love only lasts if my heart races on
So I step on the gas, burning faster and faster
'Cause love only lasts if my heart races on
I'm racing on it, on
I'm racing on, if my heart races on
Uh, I'm priceless, remember me like they remember the Titans
Reality bit me and continue to bite me
Got no degree but where I'm from, that's the original climate
Where you can't tell a fiend a crack rock isn't a diamond
Hold on, Lord if my Bugatti come to a dead end
I've already been everywhere except Heaven
And tomorrow's not promised, when I'm gone but not forgotten
I hope my homies calming down my momma, Lord
I guess I'll see you on that other side
Where the flowers never die, the angels never lie
Yeah, the revolution will be televised
I just hope my contribution will be memorized
Oh, momma hate I got my daddy's eyes
Never looked into my daddy's eyes, he ain't have the time
Fuck him, the revolution will be televised
I just hope my contribution will be memorized

When this world comes crashing
And time flies right past us (Hold on)
Love only lasts if my heart races on (Hold on)
So I step on the gas, burning faster and faster (Hold on)
'Cause love only lasts if my heart races on
I'm racing on if (I'm gone), on (I'm gone)
I'm racing on, if (I'm gone), my heart races on

Uh, Tunechi you a angel
Must be here for a reason, and that might be the main one
Fuck it, I'm making money before making changes
I sold my soul to the devil, he bought it then exchanged it
Fuck it, I'm working bitch, I know you see me working
Searching for better days, before a better person
I'm perfect, just ask my bitch and she'll say that's so urgent
I purchased, my children gifts and I just keep the curses
Yeah, my heart right and my head ain't, 'cause I'm never in my right mind
But I'm Einstein when I do think, and I grew wings
If you catch a feather just keep it, and I'll be racing on
No short cuts, no cheating

When this world comes crashing
And time flies right past us (Hold on)
Love only lasts if my heart races on (Hold on)
So I step on the gas, burning faster and faster (Hold on)
'Cause love only lasts if my heart races on (My heart right and my head ain't)
I'm racing on if (I'm gone), on, (I'm gone)
I'm racing on, if (I'm gone)
My (There's nothing left but to fly, if you catch a feather just keep it) heart races on

This morning I woke up on my good side
Life is just a race against time so have a good time
Heart racing, thoughts racing, competition, goodbye
I turn around, run backwards to see what second place look like
Oh Lord, what are we running from?
The police 'cause they already killed enough of us
Stay out them streets cause they don't fuck with us, they hunting us
We in a race against racists, that's a colour run
I keep my feet above the ground, we gon' run the town
Heart racing on, beat, beat, beating, knock and pound




Love marathon, getting deeper by the mile
I see no finish line, on your mark, set, pow

Heart racing, thoughts racing, competition, goodbye
His heart and mind are full of energy, leaving behind any competition


I turn around, run backwards to see what second place look like
He looks back, running in reverse, to observe the experience of being in second place


Oh Lord, what are we running from?
He questions the reason behind their continuous pursuit


The police 'cause they already killed enough of us
They are running from law enforcement who have caused harm to their community


Stay out them streets cause they don't fuck with us, they hunting us
They should avoid the streets because law enforcement targets and threatens them


We in a race against racists, that's a colour run
They are engaged in a competition against racists, representing a race focused on skin color


I keep my feet above the ground, we gon' run the town
He remains grounded and determined, ready to dominate and control the city


Heart racing on, beat, beat, beating, knock and pound
His heart beats rapidly and persistently, pounding with intensity


Love marathon, getting deeper by the mile
Love is a long race, gradually intensifying with every step


I see no finish line, on your mark, set, pow
There is no end in sight, ready to start the race with a powerful burst of energy
