MeLo-X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Purr
Big purr
Can we start something new?
You's a broken promise (Woo, woo)
Seen't you with your new boo
All I ever asked you to do was to be honest
Uh
You've been living lawless
It's nothing new
It's time to start something new (Woo)
Cause you's a broken promise
Look
There's a quote
I heard
It wasn't so absurd (Absurd)
Or maybe it was
But listen, here's the word (Word)
They said if the side piece becomes the main piece (Huh)
Get the skrrt out
No time to say peace
You better leave
Get up off your knees (Eee)
The vision can't be seen (No)
No love is in the scene
Didn't want to intervene
But, how'd you replace me (Replace me?)
With a sneaky link all the way from cross the sees (Cross the seas?)
It is what it is though
'Round you I gotta move more cautious
Cash always gonna flow
Thank God you and me bosses
Get that posture right
Baby, you know we lost it
No more love on sight
You got me moving cautious
Can we start something new?
You's a broken promise
Seen't you with your new boo
All I ever asked you to do was to be honest (Be honest)
Uh
But you's a broken promise
You've been living lawless
It's nothing new
It's time to start something new
Cause you's a broke promise
Sometimes
The ones you trust the most end up being most poisonous (Poisonous)
Saying, "spit on it"
You trying hard to be moist again (Moist again)
Out running in these streets got you feeling boisterous (Boisterous)
What the fuck happened?
I'm hearing all of this noise again (All of this noise again)
Checking you out up and down while you do the same (While you do the same)
What we having, a stare off?
Why we playing games? (Games)
Why we out here acting like we don't even know each other names? (Names)
Funny thing is, we feeling such a similar pain (Pain)
It is what it is though
'Round you I gotta move more cautious
Cash always gonna flow
Thank God you and me bosses
Get that posture right
Baby, you know we lost it
No more love on sight
You got me moving cautious
Can we start something new?
You's a broken promise
Seen't you with your new boo
All I ever asked you to do was to be honest
Uh
But you's a broken promise
You've been living lawless
It's nothing new
It's time to start something new
Cause you's a broke promise
