Reflections
Rahn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See everything changed but my address
Say that she remember when I had less
Now I'm looking for somebody I can tag next
Through my reflection
Through my reflection
I know a lot of people living in the past tense
See everything changed but my address
Now I'm looking for somebody I can tag next
But she just wanna stay and cook food for me
She can go and tell her friends
What she do for me
And I can't even get my brain off of you shorty
I keep on thinking bout you and them
Through my reflection
I couldn't see why she received me
I prolly played my keys like Stevie
Maybe I treated you sweet like kiwi
Through my reflection
What I see give me the heebie jeebies
You gone see me on the tv screen
I'll make all this shit here look easy peasy
Time go fast
But I'm Moving like I run a 40
4-flat
Shit changed
Feel like I would never go back
Now I need a few chains and a gold plaque
Couple cold raps
Cold cut
No sandwich
Shots steady go up
No damage
Pops told me roll up
No cabbage
Cops wanna pull up
Roll cameras
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be this cold
Thought it was but it wasn't and I should've know
Could of sworn it was a dub it ain't set in stone
Know that we could fuck it up 'till they send us home
We used to post up no caption
We used to make love no fabrics
Through my reflection
I couldn't see why she received me
I prolly played my keys like Stevie
Maybe I treated you sweet like kiwi
Through my reflection
What I see give me the heebie jeebies
You gone see me on the tv screen
I'll make all this shit here look easy peasy
