Smoothies
Noah Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Badder bitches in the city give me five five
I'm too into the culture, it's my time
Im on my junior year, already wasted nine lives
I'm really moving different things than last year
I didn't even think I'd be here
I put the pressure on myself, like nigga beware
Stop stalling and partying, get up outta here
Stop borrowing money and start accumulating
You own wealth, know that money is energy
So don't take nothing for given 'cause ain't nothing free
It's based of our hard work, think it's not?
Then you better off trying to win the lottery
Visualising from the couch, that's a lot of dreams
I won't tell you how to live your life
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
I'm not trynna tell you shit you know
Oh, please don't be so insecure
I made up my mind a long time ago
Know you do fine just on your own
My O.G. Malik know a lot about this life we live
Giving me pointers day to day how to make it big
He always say if you are grown play no baby games
He got two daughters of his own, nobody stays the same
Sometimes it's make me laugh when I think about it
But to progress, you got to change and no way around it
I'm on the same ship but I'm not ready yet
Shit I'm 24 and I still taking baby steps
Sipping henny in the club, with a champagne
You looking at me, like I ain't learned a damn thing
Well I learned that I am accountable for my actions
And these bitches wanna fuck me because I'm equally attractive
Don't ever break your back for people bending on a backwards
That wanna spend your money, but leave you in his absence
I did it more than twice, but don't consider that a hattrick
Am I preaching, no I'm reaching, but I ain't giving you no answers
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
Cause I assume you know, assume you know about it
I'm not trynna tell you shit you know
Oh, please don't be so insecure
I made up my mind a long time ago
Know you do fine just on your own
