Souvenirs
Mumbay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I better keep my stuff
Together as it fell apart
But I ain't tryna be rush, Sure I'll bite the dust
But it ain't my turn right now, so I keep it up
Two feet, run a whole movie, put it on fuji
Bottles and groupies, where I leave my thoughts
Nigg0, bad vibe killer, aim high hitter
Got all what you need
Baby girl I be back I can bring souvenirs
No whip, but a kiss for your tears
No shit, didn't give it in years
No bitch, cause she wish she were here
No fears, cause they got my back
Disappeared, should I call my ex
But I ain't tryna aim for the same mistakes
To reclaim what I can't, let the pain fade away
That ain't not my task
I swear, you don't want to be me, I'm rare
Not that medium beef, I care
Bout the usual things, that's where
I'm gone leave it, Jesus
Went far to complete it, pieces
Put together like Lego, zero
F*cks givin, no hero, it's me bro
Young pretty gold getta, solo sinner
Pour more litters even though no Cheddar
Smile more, far more, than I should
You do you I drink my cup
Slowy Goin underground, she don't wantto lower down
Molly's in that water for me, not for you
Trippin on that alcohol, what we do don't matter dawg
Eat a bit, the rest is in peace
Slowy Goin underground, she don't wantto lower down
Molly's in that water for me, not for you
Trippin on that alcohol, what we do don't matter dawg
Eat a bit, the rest is in peace
Everybody want me dead
Smoke till I'm zombie dead
Henny only coniac, in glasses
Drunk she horny as f*ck
Full shots, Leave dust
Never been there no one sees us
But I got me a new pair of sneakers
Plus she gusta la gasolina
I swear, you don't want to be me, I'm rare
Not that medium beef, I care
Bout the usual things, that's where
I'm gone leave it, Jesus
Went far to complete it, pieces
Put together like Lego, zero
F*cks givin, no hero, M B goes up
Je vais te raconter une histoire
Tu ne va pas me croire
Non je plaisante, elle
N'est pas si interessante
Je veux faire de la musique
J'ai du mal à trouver mon Chemin
J'sais pas ou je serais demain
J'sais pas ou commencer
J'ai peur de m'enfoncer
Dans un mauvais sense
En plus j'ai mauvaise conscience
J'sais pas ou commencer
J'ai peur de m'enfoncer
Dans un mauvais sense
En plus j'ai mauvaise conscience
Slowy Goin' underground, she don't want to lower down
Molly's in that water for me, not for you
Trippin' on that alcohol, what we do don't matter dawg
Eat a bit, the rest is in peace
Slowy Goin' underground, she don't wantto lower down
Molly's in that water for me, not for you
Trippin' on that alcohol, what we do don't matter dawg
Eat a bit, the rest is in peace

She likes gasoline or something analogous to it

It's not that interesting

I don't know where to start
J'ai peur de m'enfoncer
I'm afraid of getting in too deep
Dans un mauvais sense
In a bad way
En plus j'ai mauvaise conscience
