Cheap Talk
Qveen Herby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say you want some peace but you make war (make war)
Problem is you reap what you pay for (pay for)
Life could be a dream but you can't afford (can't afford)
You've been talkin' cheap

Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin'
Always gotta know what's comin' with the cheap talk
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin', lose a bag
You be talkin' cheap
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin'
Always gotta know what's comin' with the cheap talk
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin', lose a bag
You be talkin' cheap

W-w-w-well what Susie says is Sally sayin' more about herself
If that shit not up my alley, to that bitch I say farewell
Really wanna spit that
Better get a Tic Tac
Bitches be addicted (what)
Gettin' in your business (don't do it)

She wanna uh
Stop your bag (back)
Gossip is a cock block
Spread like hot sauce
Till you got no taste buds
Can't be mad you
Did that to yourself love
'Cause you've been talkin' cheap

Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin'
Always gotta know what's comin' with the cheap talk
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin', lose a bag
You be talkin' cheap
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin'
Always gotta know what's comin' with the cheap talk
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin', lose a bag
You be talkin' cheap

I've been keepin' to myself
Riding high swerving haters
Heavy streaming doin' well
Keepin' pie on my table
I don't wanna chit chat (nobody)
I-I been chasing big brags (big money)
You be speakin' no facts (what)
You-you can have your shit back

Don't let her uh
Stop your bag (back)
Gossip is a cock block
Spread like hot sauce
Till you got no taste buds
Can't be mad you
Did that to yourself love
'Cause you've been talkin' cheap

Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin'
Always gotta know what's comin' with the cheap talk
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin', lose a bag
You be talkin' cheap
Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin'
Always gotta know what's comin' with the cheap talk




Caught your mouth a-runnin' but you pop a lip at nothin', lose a bag
You be talkin' cheap
