Peaceful
Notadream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'mma 9 to 5
People always working tryna give some good advice
I'm just too rebellious
Wish that you could get inside
My head is a temple
And so peaceful when I'm high
Shawty said it right
People always working tryna give some good advice
I'm just too rebellious
Wish that you could get inside
My head is a temple
And so peaceful when I'm high
I was thinking too much
She was thinking like a fan
When we argue we kiss
Cause we don't give a damn
When we argue we kiss
Cause we know where we stand
And we know that were growing
It makes sense where we land
And I know that shes glowing
Those soft cheeks and the hands
And I know life is rough
But got empathy
Sympathy's fake you don't know my own destiny
Stressed I'm so stressed in me
In the street sesame
Yeah
Start seeing the best of me
Ooh
Guess you're the recipe
Shawty said it right
I'mma 9 to 5
People always working tryna give some good advice
I'm just too rebellious
Wish that you could get inside
My head is a temple
And so peaceful when I'm high
Shawty said it right
I'mma 9 to 5
People always working tryna give some good advice
I'm just too rebellious
Wish that you could get inside
My head is a temple
And so peaceful when I'm high
