P. Diddy Feat. Dirty Money Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no shook hands in Brooklyn
Auto fatigued then fatigue the enemy
Look man you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket screamin' bastard
Cryin', know my friends is lyin'
I know who killed em' filled em
With them luggers from they rugers on they deserts
But it's pleasant kinda quiet
Watch my n****s bring the riot
Came from the heavens just to sing a song for you
To the rhythm of my love for you,
And now it's beating slow, and you know
This the end of the road when I sing this slow song for you you
And love was nothin' but another gun for you
And I would hide it in my hopeless soul
I'm not afraid to go down the road where we go,
I don't know, you can hear them callin, don't you,
When the angels call like
Yo
If you don't wanna stay you can goo
But since love don't live here no more
The angels are flying so low,
Singing to you (don't you hear me callin you)
He's the one you love (cause I hear them callin me)
And he's the one you trust (now that time is almost through)
Time is runnin out (there's nothin left to do)
When they're callin you
When the angels call like (i answer)
Calling, for you, I will tell the angels now
Let them turn back in to stone
I do, love you, it's true
Fire, climbing
We ignore the angels call
They were warnings after all
It's cool, if I, pick you
When the angel's call like
Yo
If you don't wanna stay you can goo
But since love don't live here no more
The angels are flying so low,
Singing to you (don't you hear me callin you)
He's the one you love (cause I hear them callin me)
And he's the one you trust (now that time is almost through)
Time is runnin out (there's nothin left to do)
When they're callin you
When the angels call like (i answer)
Uh, uh, uh
Ain't no shook hands in Brooklyn
Auto fatigued then fatigue the enemy
Look man you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket screamin' bastard
Cryin', know my friends is lyin'
I know who killed em' filled em
With them luggers from they rugers on they deserts
Dyin' ain't the s*** but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet watch my n****s bring the riot
The song "Angels" by P. Diddy & Dirty Money is a song that speaks of tough times and heartbreaks but also of resilience and strength. The lyrics are introspective and emotional, describing the pain that comes with losing someone you love and the struggle to move on. The first verse describes a gang-related murder in Brooklyn and the desire for revenge. The chorus of the song then begins with the introduction of the "angels" who have come to sing a song for someone they love. The theme of love is threaded throughout the song and is used as a metaphor for both the healing and destructive power it can have.
The second verse is an extension of the chorus as it further details the singer's experience with love. It expresses the idea of someone being all-consuming and damaging to one's well-being. The singer then goes on to say that they are not afraid to endure the pain that comes with the end of a relationship. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, as the singer answers the call of the angels.
Overall, "Angels" is a complex song that ties together themes of love, loss, and resilience. It ultimately tells a story of pain and heartbreak, but also of hope and the power of moving forward.
