MI.LA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet like red velvet
Some things I could never show you
Some things I could never tell you
But I'll tell you
You're sweet like red velvet
God damn who just laced ya
Mobbin through the place with
A smile in perfect placement
Like a light among the faces
I hope your heart's fucking racin'
Just as fast as mine
But I'll blame it on rotation
And this blunt that we been facin'
And the forties I been chasin'
I been winning, I been losing
I been crazy, I been patient
Kickin' it with you
I found a
Difference in the loop
I found a
Found a difference here with you
I found a
Sweet like red velvet
Some things I could never show you
Some things I could never tell you




But I'll tell you
You're sweet like red velvet
