Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't hold your breath
Don't wait on my love
Don't hold your breath
Don't wait on my love

Don't wait on my reply to your text
Don't wait on my nut from your sex
Don't trust me to capture the moment
Forgive me, it just was a moment
Don't lay up, I'd rather us stand out
I heard number two is your man now
Don't mind me bein' number two now
I'ma man up, ain't no man down
You see I don't give no fucks now
Is it somethin' we discussed now?
The truth got you in disgust now
'Cause I'd rather we just fuck now

Don't hold your breath
(Don't hold it, oh)
Don't wait on my love
(Don't wait on my love, oh, no)
Don't hold your breath
(Don't hold it, no)
Don't wait on my love
(Oh, don't wait on my love, love)

I put the dirt into dirt bag
Still got your jacket in my bag
I stood you up, that was my bad
Gave me your heart, watch me break that
Many different bitches in the coupe
This is how low that a mack stoop
Me bein' faithful's the issue
Tryna clean up 'cause you comin' soon
I broke her off in the livin' room
There is a smell in the livin' room
Know that's fucked up, that's what pimpin' do
Ooh, know that's fucked up, that's what pimpin' do, whoa

Don't hold your breath
(Don't hold your breath, no, no)
Don't wait on my love
(Don't wait on it, don't wait on it, whoa-whoa)
Don't hold your breath
(You must suffocate, yeah)
Don't wait on my love
(Don't wait on my love, don't wait on my love, oh)

Wash my dick off before I get home
Maison Margiela on me though
I'm the opposite of hero
The opposite of your hero
The make up, the breakup was see-through
The way I did you was illegal
Your girl was right, yeah, she called it
You should believe in your people
Talked to you then went to the strip club
VIP, I got my dick sucked
Came back to you and I kissed ya
That led to fucking on the tour bus
Packed up and went back to Oakland
Finally, it's out in the open
I gave you the hope, you did the hopin'

Don't hold your breath
(Don't hold your breath, don't hold your breath, woo)
Don't wait on my love
(Don't wait on me, I'll let you down, I'll let you down, yeah)
Don't hold your breath (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't wait on my love
(I ain't shit, you gotta know now I ain't shit, you gotta know)

Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey




Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey

Overall Meaning
