Blow
Luna Aura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world was made in seven days
God worked six, took a break
Sunday dress, nine years old
holdin' tight to my soul
Mamma said better shine your shoes
sit up straight, better pay your dues
and maybe someday baby girl you'll
get a break too
Well, the world is full of crooks and thieves
I thought I told you 'bout it
You walk that line of sanity
'cause you can't go without it
You're lying in your bed at night
playing games inside your mind
trying to get it right you better
hold on tight
Keep your bets up high
keep your bets up high
if you're trying to get it right
keep your bets up high
Mamma said never sell your soul
but if you're gonna go big you better make it blow
Keep your bets up high
keep your bets up high
if you're trying to get it right
keep your bets up high
Mamma said never sell your soul
but if you wanna go big you better make it blow
Yeah it hurts to think there's good sometimes
If you wanna play games we playin' mine
It's hard to fill this appetite
that basic don't satisfy
You keep the stakes high
You play your hands right
wanna put 'em on me can't afford it
so don't even try
I'm weird with the hard
I can peno like a northstar
No community, we private party and we
go hard
You can't compare me lordy
shorty not a queen bee
You can call me Saya
only stay in royal company
Keep your bets up high
keep your bets up high
if you're trying to get it right
keep your bets up high
Mamma said never sell your soul
but if you're gonna go big you better make it blow
Keep your bets up high
keep your bets up high
if you're trying to get it right
keep your bets up high
Mamma said never sell your soul
but if you wanna go big you better make it blow
I bet you think about it
You say you don't
I doubt it
It's on your mind
on your tongue
wrap your spine around it
One big world
full of bad
'Cause it's one big world
full of mad men
'Cause they can't keep up with the things I do
My mind's so cosmic
Sailor Moon
Fancy love
Bones and blood
Me with the green but I'm royal blue
Stay wrapped up
in the same old thing
Won't sit back
for no diamond ring
Settle down, fix that crown
tell 'em how it's gotta be
Keep your bets up high
keep your bets up high
if you're trying to get it right
keep your bets up high
Mamma said never sell your soul
but if you're gonna go big you better make it blow
Keep your bets up high
keep your bets up high
if you're trying to get it right
keep your bets up high




Mamma said never sell your soul
but if you wanna go big you better make it blow
