Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

been months since I dipped
and made my getaway
but I remember it all
like it was yesterday
see your text and feel sick
that shit cut like a knife
I canu0027t believe that you tryna
get back into my life
baby why the fuck
can you not leave me alone
I swear I blocked your number
seven times I need a new phone
you just wanna use me
but you're just outta luck
gunna have to find somebody else
I dont give a fuck


cuz I rock shit
bitch you toxic
I'm boutta pop shit
watch it
Ima cock shit
you fuckin lost it
I ainu0027t got time
for this shit
not tryna play
you already had your chance
I made my getaway
cuz I rock shit
bitch you toxic
I'm boutta pop shit
watch it
Ima cock shit
you fuckin lost it
I ainu0027t got time
for this shit
not tryna play
you already had your chance
I made my getaway


too late
I got nothin to say
hopped right inside the whip
made my getaway
I'm out
you dunno where to find me
Iu0027m just happy that I
finally left you behind me
speedin off
like a jet ski
hoping this time
you forget me
I have my doubts
cuz I know I be
livin rent free
in your head
when heu0027s in your bed
how many times I
gotta leave your shit on read ?

been months since I dipped
and made my getaway
but I remember it all
like it was yesterday
see your text and feel sick
that shit cut like a knife
I canu0027t believe that you tryna
get back into my life

popped it
dropped it
know I got it
locked in
shorty beggin me to stay
know I always get my way
kill shot
bitch you dead
mad I left her
on read
mad I caught you lackin
focus, keep my shit stackin
cuz she toxic
love it when I talk shit
doesn't like a leash
so I keep her in my pocket
loves it when I tell her no
so I keep her on the low
beggin me to stay
while I make my getaway


cuz I rock shit
bitch you toxic
I'm boutta pop shit
watch it
Ima cock shit
you fuckin lost it
I ainu0027t got time
for this shit
not tryna play
you already had your chance
I made my getaway
cuz I rock shit
bitch you toxic
I'm boutta pop shit
watch it
Ima cock shit
you fuckin lost it
I ainu0027t got time
for this shit
not tryna play




you already had your chance
I made my getaway
