Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better run for cover
Run for cover
I got some boes here behind them buck blinds
That got your ass spotted through the front side
You better run for cover
Run for cover
Fifth of Jack tilt it back to the maximum
I got a dip fully packed til I'm strapped with guns
You already knowing what's up like you were sleeping we was creeping we've been blowing shit up some type of jar got the heart and we're souljering up cause with this music shit we're rapping we've been folding em up
Cuz them boys got sideways
I'm getting gifted sitting in the dark with it in park in their driveway
5 minutes from the highway
So if they get it twisted imma jet of quick like (I'm by day?)
I say firewater mind frame cleaner than a prototype stripped to the wire frame
Sneak and duck and pull it over need a tire change
Rope a couple cuz we're eating rappers up just like it's child's play
I can see you from my tree stand so if you wanna stay a free man
You better run for cover
Run for cover
I got some boes here behind them buck blinds
That got your ass spotted through the front side
You better run for cover
Run for cover
