Lorenzo
Lukey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To have a spirit in a world full of cold metal
It's dangerous, they want to taint the love but
Don't let 'em kill you darling (Don't let 'em get to you)
Don't let 'em kill you (Don't let 'em get to you)
Don't let 'em kill you darling
Don't let 'em get to you

To have a spirit in a world full of cold metal
My soul has seen Everest but also down the abyss
Palette wanna taste it all but cant afford little
To nothing, I just need a breakthrough
I found my foothold, I found my gift
Oh so tragic that it was all'at the expense
Of my good friend, of a heartbreak
Of some lost faith, so I lost ways
Saw my mom's face through a lot of things
From a lay off, lay off
Thought we'd have to lay off off some comfort
Too nurtured by the suburbs
How much time do I have?
How much time do I have?

Sometimes I feel a lot to fear momma
We ending trauma right here momma
So much I wanna give back to you
And the rest of the world
But been indulgent in vices, I should be turned momma
I owe a lot to my parents
They the reason my larynx
Is bold enough to be airing out
What I'd usually keep buried
And when they vacay'd in Paris
All I could think is thank God for their marriage
I was on 13th boarding with Lo
Talking 'bout how we'd make Doom beats in the fall, yeah
I miss my bro everyday
Wish Lorenzo had stayed
Wish my friends are all safe
Wish for peace in May and June
Ay ya ya uh ooh
Ay ya ya uh ooh
And when the weather has tamed
Could you come to my place, and stay?

I've been waiting for you, all this time
I've been waiting for you, all my life

To have a spirit in a world full of cold metal
It's dangerous, they want to taint the love but
Don't let 'em kill you darling (They want to taint the love)
Don't let 'em kill you
Don't let 'em kill you darling
Don't let 'em get to you

Don't let 'em get to you
Don't let 'em get to you

When there's a will there's way
Buss it on down like blue faces,
I had to go out there and face it
I cannot trust no new faces, uh
Uh shawty, if you with it then pull up, up on me
Don't know who I am when I'm around you
I'm searching for a sign that's fit for two
Honestly, I gotta be the one who sees (One who sees)
Visionary
I got the keys, come ride with me
Not of reach, but nothing comes easy
O.T., oh I miss the homie
Do it for the family
Even through a tragedy, tragedy

Pour up for some fallen brethren
Smoke up just to reminisce and honor
I see it loom over like monsters
An eerie summer searching for answers
Just need to see the homies prosper
Just need to see the youth be fostered
In a brave space, in a safe place
Brother come back home as our angel

Do-do-do-do-do-do
As an angel, as an angel
We all go through it
Do-do-do-do-do-do





"Hey wanna go for a ride?"
"Okay"
