Still Motion
Natti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Roll up a blunt and induce myself
Crumbling herb over top of the words written I'm sitting in dro smoke
Trying to lose myself
Trapped in a life grasping a mic that's been right for a felon on the loose
Instead of cops flashing a light I'm catching a flight
Blowing my pipes out just leaking out the truth
See what Reefa do
Blowing out fruit in the passenger side of the coup of a pretty bitch
That you can't stand
Two can Sam
Blowers in both doors I chose Pepsi in the midst of the coke wars
Make dope boys wonder what is he dope for?
What music has hoped for so we don't wait no more we still in motion
I think it's time to let it go
So long it's had a hold on me (I think it's time)
Paranoia
I think it's time to let it go
So long it's had a hold on me (I think it's time)
Stress
I think it's time to let it go
So long it's had a hold on me (I think it's time)
Jealousy, Greed, Envy
I think it's time to let it go
So long it's had a hold on me

Perfect album length. One thing that tends to put me off to some hip-hop albums is the fact that they can go on past the hour mark.
