Right Back
Ras 1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
Your girlfriend said so but I don't really know
That don't mean we fucked around that night last week when you left town
I was tweakin' by myself one night that's when I wrote this tune
Didn't have no need for that bed in my hotel room
Sometimes right now since I've left the pen
Feels like I'm right back there again
Sometimes I pray, waiting waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought myself a gun and I'm right back, right back where I'm from
Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
My girlfriend said so, she's a little ho
That don't mean I fuck around, I like to keep that higher ground
Sometimes I pray, waiting waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought myself a gun and I'm right back, right back where I'm from
Oh don't tease me, don't tease me, don't tease
Sometimes I pray, waiting waiting for some bright holiday




So I bought myself a gun and I'm right back, right back where I'm from
