Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel like crying, I'm prayin' to God
You know it's my way, so stay where you are
Say a lil' fire, lil' baby a geek
Live on the highway and stay in the car
You know I'm plottin' today and tomorrow
Keep that shit tight, it be safe in the seat
Keep movin' hype, we gon' fade in the dark
You know my life, I'm just playing a part
We got that pipe, got a stain on my teeth
The way you incite it, lil bae she petite
Shit, if I die know who takin' the charge
You know who having they way with the mob
When it get dry, put rain in the streets
You gon' talk hot, ain't nothin' to me
Brodie ain't got it, them baby receipts
I'mma do what I promise, you make it applaud
Yeah, I'm bout it, been waitin' for long
In the shower, she playin' Solange
Niggas sour, they sayin' I'm wrong
Trust every hour a hater annoyed
Trust, the louder, the greater the voice
Where all that poutin', contagious as joy
I'm used to vouchin', but that shit out
Did that boy foul take the bass from his voice
Yeah, I'm the outlet, I be around
Piecin' them ounces is makin' me coin
Keep it ten thou', you know my crowd




You gon' need power and status to join
Yeah
