Redveil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I plant the seeds and watch 'em bloom, get off my dick for geez sake
How my niggas goin' up? They prayin' till they knees ache
I'm eatin' all this chicken soup, I fill my stomach 'til I can't
We ball, you tryna take them threes, we take this shit straight to the paint
We up by 20, come and take it from us, you not gon' take it from us
Grip to death like guillotine, I know I'm not gon' fumble
Plenty habits I done crushed, I kicked that shit off to the rubble
Yeah, you dig? Yeah
Yeah, we gon' get it off the-
Yeah, you dig?, uh, yeah, yeah
Look, I said
They gravitatin' 'cause I got a knack
I'm up on they neck till I got me a plaque
We eatin' good, I run up a sack
I'm spendin' this shit 'cause I'm gettin' it back (Back, yeah)
Up off of generosity, I'm lit
Still hit up Brian to take me a flick
I still need it home grown
Nigga, I done been workin' for so long
Gotta kick brodie out, tryna prolong my dreams
Got my foot on the gas, see the high beams
Wu-Tang with the cheese, I need all the cream
Customize fits, bro, these my seams
Changed my life when I looked at the fine things
All that gloomy shit ended we shining
Yeah (Shining), all that, nigga
