Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love these streets
Made for them
Love this music
Love these beats
Slaying em
Things to say
But I don't speak
Fuck yo hand out
I'm the man now
Counting well
(Yeah Yeah)
Patiently waiting
Know they don't hear what the hell I been saying
They put attention to games I be playing
How do you think I got my reputation
Shit is amazing
Feel like I need you but feel like I hate you
Here for the party but hate celebrations
Introvert-extrovert mind on vacation
Working on way to get rid of frustrations
Baby I got things to do
Sometimes I need your love then don't fuck with you
Guess why I'm built this way
Shit I wish I knew
You said you hate me now well shit I hate you too
Aye what your brain saying
I don't need nobody
I don't need nobody
Aye what your brain saying
I don't need nobody
I don't need nobody
You can catch me the lake house
By myself
(Yeah)
By myself
(Yeah)
You can catch me the lake house
By myself
(Yeah)
By myself
(Yeah)
Look
I don't really mess with a lot of y'all
Truth is I know you ain't my biggest fan
Know there's a couple out there who felt hate in they heart when I said I'm the man
Not my problem but I hate I feel that I need y'all to solve them
Man I got a lot on my plate with a full stomach
Man I got some women I should date I just don't cuff them
Yeah and the ones I should hate I should still love them
Understand y'all feel like I just keep running
Swear I shoulda learned dog
Seen it happened to my cousin
It was young love they not knowing that it really wasn't
Man I been fooled
And I just don't know what to do girl that's the truth
Should I dip off on my own or leave with you
That would be cool
But I know in time I won't think that's the move
And you know in time you gone find other dudes
To give you them things that I can't give to you
I won't play the fool
Take advice from myself like a tool
You can go off and show ass at them pools
I can move on without thinking of you
Spot at my lake house it ain't meant two
Aye what your brain saying
I don't need nobody
I don't need nobody
Aye what your brain saying
I don't need nobody
I don't need nobody
You can catch me the lake house
By myself
(Yeah)
By myself
(Yeah)
You can catch me the lake house
By myself
(Yeah)
By myself
(Yeah)
OK
Lake house
Feeling right
Yeah it's going down tonight
Got drank in my cup
Smoking on that purple stuff
Lake house
Feeling right
Yeah it's going down tonight
Got drank in my cup
Smoking on that purple stuff
