Hibiscus
MadBliss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a tea-drinking, simple muthafucka
Don't need the reefer
They call me the optimist

Black is the new hype
I'm privy to my privilege
Never losin' it
Take my card for more amusement

Planets got me going
Retrograde on my peoples
I've been off the steeple
Bottle-fed and fed up with the feeble

I felt the Bern
But the cold trumped me
Making brothas move along
To they old country
Bai

On the road, I'm moving on
Won't ever let the air stop
Keep it going

That's when I hope I meet you
The flower to my head
Lemme feel you shine
I'll stay an hour in ya bed

I'm on it
Vibe with me
Admission is free
Let's see the world
Through our hearts and be

On some other (uh)
Cool, wavey summer (uh)
Get to know another, call you my lover in the morning (yuh)

I won't bleed for you
But I'll feel the breeze come thru
Let me be hibisicus for one day
I'm all about serenity, and for play

It'll be aight when the sun goes down
I love the blues and the reds
I love the blues and the reds
I love the blues and the reds

"Mr Wind, Mr. Wind
Would You Blow It All Away"
That's what I imagine
All the trees in my forest would say

You know, if they could talk
Man, they'd have crazy stories for days
Got granbabies they lived through
Never seen the light of day

By the way
Why the sad face, bae?
We're almost to the part where you show me where your hopes and dreams are made

Oh, did I veer too far?
Did I reach that part of you?
Pardon me, boo

I'm just a man with a history
Too complicated for the faded
Keeping you updated
With the Jaden logic, keep it in my pocket
"When I Die, Then You Will Realize"

There's a point to my stillness
You gotta do be do be do
Nobody wanna feel the gravity
So let the flowers feel it too

So let the flowers feel it too

I won't bleed for you
But I'll feel the breeze come thru
Let me be hibisicus for one day
I'm all about serenity, and for play

It'll be alright when the sun goes down
I love the blues and the reds




I love the blues and the reds
I love the blues and the reds
