Ray West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We wanna go back, right?
I ain't joke here, you know?
Felt up but it still hurt
Sugar ...staring where it was
Messing with how it was if you know that he got here
But I'm here with nigga shopping in vane
That's my team I'm poping out of the basement
Living the plus life we only need one ...
Tell ém blessing way I move sad tigher
Know that the vane how's snaps in ...
Don;t have to make you remind you
That I come from the ...smash or the ..
Nigga need trash or teraphist up in the hits
One that I become for, all I do it's
Fighting for July 4th I lied the sky more
When I go, go, go back, go back, go back, go back
The worriors it's go there, magical potion
That's in less, never less
Like a showing me intro
This floor ain't disco...made you all no distroy
The disco graff DNA but low me on ..
Feeling like a winner could winters, hot summers
Throw out of ...for those out of ..
The baby so beautiful looking at the future see my word so cute
...play in the eighty's ..to the ninety's now you can found me
Wander what happend with you
Go back, go back, go back, go back, go back

Go back, go back
Let's go back to the past
We wanna go back, right?
Do you also want to go back to the past?
I ain't joke here, you know?
I am being serious
Felt up but it still hurt
I was violated and it still pains me
Sugar ...staring where it was
Memories linger where it used to be sweet
Messing with how it was if you know that he got here
Thinking about how different it would be if he was here with us
But I'm here with nigga shopping in vane
I am here with people who spend their money unwisely
That's my team I'm poping out of the basement
I am proudly representing my team who originated from the bottom
Take it way back like I'm outside
Let's go way back to how it was before
Living the plus life we only need one ...
Living a lavish life, we only need one thing
Tell ém blessing way I move sad tigher
I move with a blessed purpose despite struggles
Know that the vane how's snaps in ...
The vanity changes how we snap pictures
Don;t have to make you remind you
I don't have to remind you
That I come from the ...smash or the ..
I come from a place known for drugs and violence
Nigga need trash or teraphist up in the hits
People need to stop producing bad music or seek professional help to improve it
One that I become for, all I do it's
I am doing everything to be the person I aspire to be
Fighting for July 4th I lied the sky more
I love the July 4th celebrations where fireworks light up the sky
When I go, go, go back, go back, go back, go back
When I return to the past
The worriors it's go there, magical potion
The warriors will go there, a magical place
That's in less, never less
There's always something in scarcity, never nothing
Like a showing me intro
Like an opening act presenting an intro
This floor ain't disco...made you all no distroy
This dancefloor is not a place to ruin it by misbehaving
The disco graff DNA but low me on ...
The disco nature is embedded in me but I am still down to earth
Feeling like a winner could winters, hot summers
I feel successful in all seasons
Throw out of ...for those out of ..
Discard whatever is not needed to make room for something more suitable
The baby so beautiful looking at the future see my word so cute
The future looks bright and promising for the beautiful baby, just as my words are cute
...play in the eighty's ..to the ninety's now you can found me
I used to play in the 80s and 90s, now you can find me here
Wander what happend with you
I wonder what happened to you
Go back, go back, go back, go back, go back
Let's go back to the past
