3D
Ravyn Lenae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, ooh (ooh, ooh)
This shit 3D, this shit 3D, this shit 3D
This shit 3D, this shit 3D, this shit 3D
This shit 3D, this shit 3D, this shit 3D

From the start, I told you keep the speed on cruisin' (cruisin')
Things are good, so baby, don't make it confusing now
At the bar, when I feel pressure, I'm just human
I'm never in a rush from takin' my time
I'm askin' you to

Keep it light
Things are better movin' slow
Feelin' nice
let's keep it flowin' natural
Hope that I
I'm hoping I don't lead you on
'Cause I don't need a boyfriend
Keep it light (keep it light)
Things are better movin' slow
Feelin' nice (feelin' nice)
let's keep it flowin' natural
Hope that I
I'm hoping I don't lead you on
'Cause I don't need a boyfriend

Baby, are you catchin' my drift?
Thought I would show that
I can be a freak as a friend, you need to know that
no complications, I can't wait another night
This is your motivation (if you're patient) into mine, mmh
As soon as I let my guard down, it's all over (all over)
That's why I wanna take my time and get to know ya
Wanna know what it feels like to wait a while longer (feels like)
So boy, don't put that weight on my shoulders
For now you need to

Keep it light
Things are better movin' slow
Feelin' nice
let's keep it flowin' natural
Hope that I
I'm hoping I don't lead you on
'Cause I don't need a boyfriend
Keep it light (keep it light)
Things are better movin' slow
Feelin' nice (feelin' nice)
let's keep it flowin' natural
Hope that I
I'm hoping I don't lead you on
'Cause I don't need a boyfriend (boyfriend)

(Light)
keep it light like LED (LED)
UV (UV), strobe light
I'm tryna see what underneath ya robe like
But don't call me, might be with one of my hoes right
Ain't that the vibe?
You all in my comments, but I don't wanna commit
It'll be suicide if you ever posted a pic
Get to pickin' us apart on some rotisserie shit
Now I'm officially pissed
I'm in yo' city dressed up-selling
Too fresh to leave
Stay-dressed Smitty on my polo
horse might my giddy up (hello?)
Send yo' addy, girl, don't at me
I want you to come see me live
I seem so trippy, avant-gardey




I found a new drug
It's you (you, you)
