Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
This what we doing

Why you told me 'bout the
Life we could've lived?
Dig my grave 'cause I'm likely to resist
Uh, flip the page
See my writing on the script
Hit the pavement, I'm lighting up the, yeah
Been the brave since '90 with my kin
It don't make sense climbing up the cliff
Is it for the views or the drift, nigga?
I can touch the moon from my crib
Bae by my side so it's soon, the eclipse
It's monsoon when I spit
Looking in the sky, got my shoes in some shit
I was here last year, no improvement in this
I move with a limp and a crew that's legit
You get foods for the chips
Burning ash, straight tools in the wind
Break fools with a fifth
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, break

Looking back and it move me a bit
It's true, we were truly in distance, dawg
You couldn't make a movie for this
'Cause I know what I did and
I know that you didn't
Looking back and it move me a bit
(It's true, we were truly in distance) Dawg
You couldn't make a movie for this
'Cause I know what I did and I know
(That you didn't)

Since last year, shit ain't been the same
Greens in the toe doing something to my brain
Seizing my soul from a mother full of pain
These ain't the wounds I could
Cover with a chain i was on the cloud with
My brother in the rain
Fiend take a toll, we be fucking
What you saying? These niggas old
They be plucking at the gang
But believe we is bold and
We tough enough to stand
These niggas cold, niggas fucking up the plan
Believe in your quote
Don't just post it for the fam
But how you put us on? Ain't
Even putting on your mans yet work out
I'm sleeping like a cushion in your hand
Your worth ain't a feature
Can't eat from other men
The beef's from other land, never did rhyme
I'm 'bout to hit one year with the wisdom
When the fan spin, where do the shit come?
So even if I land, we can miss some
I miss making other plans for us to get lunch
I did break enough to land in a big blunt




Ain't tryna lose you to the
Hands of the system
