Buss It Down.
RAYE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, ooh, ooh

So I'm dancing on the kitchen floor
I caught a vibe too
And a song to whine to
I said, "I'll whine my waist forever more"
Until I find you
Until I find you

I'm gon' buss it down
I'm gon' buss it (she gon' buss it)
I'm gon' tick-tock on it like a clock
I'm gon' touch it
Oh, I'm gon' back it up
And break it down
And he's gon love it (he's gon' love it)
I'm gon' buss it down, buss it down

I'm just trying to prioritize
Who I grind for
Who I take my time for
I got my mind on my money
Got my girls by my side
Until I find more
Something I'll ride for

I'm gon' buss it down
I'm gon' buss it (she gon' buss it)
I'm gon' tick-tock on it like a clock
I'm gon' touch it
Oh, I'm gon' back it up
And break it down
And he's gon' love it (he's gon' love it)
I'm gon' buss it down, oh, oh (buss it down, back it up)

I'm gon' buss it down
She gon' buss it down (back it up like a truck)
He gon' buss it down
They gon' buss it down (slow it down, speed it up)
Shake it 'til my ocean drown it
Shake it 'til your ocean drown it (shake it 'til your ocean drown)
Until I decide that I'm settling down
Oh, best believe I ain't ready now

I'm gon'
Uh, hm-mmm
Hee, and then I'm gonna uh-uh-oh
On the, oh (they gon' buss it down)

I'm gon' buss it down
I'm gon' buss it (she gon' buss it)
I'm gon' tick-tock on it like a clock
I'm gon' touch it
Oh, I'm gon' back it up
And break it down
And he's gonna love it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (he's gon' love it)
Down





They gon' buss it down
