Missing
Lil Alice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little red rose come and take me home
Little boy blue been left alone
Lost in a world, don't know which road
Lost in a world, don't know which road
Traveling far from the ones I know
I miss myself, never miss no hoe
I'm lost in a world, don't know which road
Lost in a world, don't know which road
Suicide doors on a coupe that's yellow
Tint like syrup, call that Eggo
Thousand Sighs plays, need a medal
Need no dime piece, got my metal
Strapped like Momo, K been ready
Heavy promo, keep it steady
Sing like Abel, rap like Lucki
I'm not your friend and I'm not your buddy
But I got I tunes that'll make you cry and
I got a voice that'll touch the sky and
I got bars no hammer can't touch this
Thick white girl under covers been blushing
'Cause I got a big white grin, I glisten
And me and Lace treat rooms like kitchens
Cooking up heat, sum hot like pistons
Know we go hard, same threat as Pippen
Little red rose come and take me home
Little boy blue been left alone
Lost in a world, don't know which road
Lost in a world, don't know which road
Traveling far from the ones I know
I miss myself, never miss no hoe




I'm lost in a world, don't know which road
Lost in a world, don't know which road
