Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stranded in KC, motherfucker I can't see straight
All I know is if I'm walkin' in the dark, I can't be fake
Told shawty she don't even wanna start or ain't no Cheesecake
Found out why she been rollin' from the start, she ain't no cheapskate
Fuck around and get my shot off, 'cause I ain't got no plays
I'm about to really get it poppin' like a new game
I love a lot, but that shit need to stop like a double play
I want a shawty, but all these girls is cocky, I can't fuck with baes
Sometimes people see me, they think I'm shy, I just don't fuck around
It's JBirdFly, if I was supposed to die, I'd get shot on down
These feelings tucked like Bre with the heat, rest in peace Big B
I can't fuck with nobody that leave, 'cause they must be weak
Pull up with a hit in a white tee like it's Givenchy
Just got kicked from Tin Roof, but now you see, nigga it's Birdy B
Hands behind my back, motherfucker, I can't see straight
Hands behind my back, motherfucker, you can't hit straight
(I'm so, I'm so tired of you J Bird)
Bruh (You alw-)
(J- Y- I'm just sick of you)
Bruh (Just get out my face)
I don't wanna see you
(I don-, I don't want you around me) What did I do?
(I don't want you to talk to me. I don't)
Oh my God (Just get out my face!)
Nah, come here (No, just get out my face!)
Oh my God, bruh (No, I'm gone! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!)
Nah like I swear to God if you leave bruh
Wow
Wow
(Cedes set the 'ting)
Okay
(Gang, gang, gang, gang)
And you know
Switchin' through these chickens like my flows
Hate these early mornings on the floor
I love J Bird
Go, go, go, go, go
When I'm poppin' out there's a couple things that Lil' Birdie wanna see (Ahh)
You want finer things, can't find a thing, 'cause you already know that it's me (Yahh)
I would rather have no features than have your charging ass on the beat
That's like God chargin' where you sleep (God)
I asked God charge it to the lead (God)
If I play this chick , then this other chick gon' hear and try to play me
I'm the toppest pick, all these other picks just gon' be a bust on your sheets
And you know it
(Gang, gang)
And you know it
(Gang)
Told my sis I don't want no miss, 'cause all these chicks be goin'
I said, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I can't see your hits
All these simps be flowin' through The Levee boujee, who just let you in?
Strollin' through heavy mad 'cause they girl choosin', but I bet she meant it
JBirdFly never stressin' over what you doing 'cause I'm heaven sent
And you know (Yah, yah)
I'm just keepin' steady and you know (Ahh, ahh)
'Cause all the bros stay ready, yeah, they on go (On go now)
If there's one thing that J Bird already know (I know now)
I just gotta let her ass go (She gone now)
Strapped up in the bity, ain't no Roe (Ain't no Roe, nah)
Hands behind my back, I ain't goin' (I can't go, nah)
Shawty left me in KC all alone (All alone, yuh)
Stranded in KC, but I'm on go (Yuh, ahh)
And you know
(Oh, yeah)
Hands behind my back, I'm still throwed
(Oh, yeah)
I'm still gone




Sheesh
Hands behind my back and I'm still goin'
