Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

*Doing it for Rome*

No no no, she ain't cold as me
Have some etiquette
Pray for better days
I get better get
Crashing in your driveway
Forget the sentiment
If you got to see my drive you'd think i'm Letterman

Moving too fast to focus
You got me don't blow this
I been using you sorry
Excuse me if I interrupt

It's a 110 on the dash night
You stay in my car like that black ice
It's like it wasn't you
But I swear we did it last night
We were Shaq high
Could do anything but last

Get this hustle from my dad's side
I think I was God in a past life
So I keep on coming through
Like we've never had a bad time
You could flat-line
I ain't never coming up

I got a feeling but I can't stop
I got a feeling but I can't stop
I got a feeling but I can't stop
Gotta take the shot
While your hands hot

I study your face
Shit could be so simple
My dad got a Harley
And told me keep it safe
You could come around
Get familiar with my brain
Man it's quick to take it gnarly
We hardly awake
Wait
I think I might need a pistol
My brothers keep it simple
But they all got their faith
Hey
When your stepping please be gentle
I can't catch a break nowadays
It's okay

I got a feeling but I can't stop
I got a feeling but I can't stop
I got a feeling but I can't stop
Gotta take the shot
While your hands hot

No no no, she ain't cold as me
Have some etiquette
Pray for better days
I get better get
crashing in your driveway forget the sentiment
If you got to see my drive you'd think i'm Letterman

Moving too fast to focus
You got me don't blow this
I been using you sorry excuse me if I Interrupt

I got a feeling but I can't stop




I got a feeling but I can't stop
I got a feeling but I can't stop
