Drown
Redveil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a few sensations
Life without you feel like euthanasia
Used to make excuses 'til I made conclusion
It was human nature, really who could hate you?
I mean, honestly, you got a bond with me
It's like you in my head, lobotomy
You know it bother me when we don't gotta beef
We got expensive taste and you know talk is cheap
So why you all on my mental?
(All on my mental) finna play gentle
Thinking 'bout the time after time we done been through
How we got time? You know timing essential
Mean it this time, I'ma find time, tempo
Cut off the hoes, you know I ain't into
None of these games I ain't finna keep playing
If you twinning my flame, ain't no
Telling what the shit do, go

I told her read the room
The worst is to assume
You say you down for I
But I ain't got the room
Unless you got the time then
I ain't got to lose just look me in my eye
I'm tryna find the truth (yeah)

Yeah, I ain't got no time to waste
Ain't no time to waste
Birds outside my window put you on my mind today
Let me find my way out this haze on me
They tryna smoke me out but it ain't even phasing me
Nigga, I'm free
Want my time? Better give me that fee
I done earned this bloom, that shit not free
You ain't never bled, boy, you ain't my bleed, yeah
Chasing dreams I can't see, yeah
Everything changing for the gang we on everybody feed, yeah
Never stop 'til the gang eat, yeah
Never stop 'til the gang eats, why?
You is living all inside my head
I ain't never felt more alive
Niggas really never touching bread
Get that pain and envy out your eyes
Hitting different when you beep my line
Feeling like I'm running out of time
Seconds going faster 'cause you're mine
Seconds going faster in my mind (yeah)
If you need that fix, then you can call me
(Yeah) they gon' chase you but we know that's all me (yeah)
Running to that sack, I hear 12 on me
I'm still running, running
And they never caught me (me, yeah, yeah)

I told her read the room
The worst is to assume
You say you down for I
But I ain't got the room
Unless you got the time then
I ain't got to lose just look me in my eye
I'm tryna find the truth (room)
I told her read the room
The worst is to assume
You say you down for I
But I ain't got the room
Unless you got the time then
I ain't got to lose just look me in my eye
I'm tryna find the truth, woo!
(Hey)

When life's crashing down
Tell me, will you still be around
('Round) or will you let me drown?
'Cause everything in life is never easy
I know the music and your love will never leave me, ay
My life is a puzzle, it ain't easy
But you were the missing piece
Yeah, you completed me, oh
'Cause everything in life is never easy
I know the music and your love will never leave me, ayy
My life is a puzzle, it ain't easy
But you were the missing piece
Yeah, you completed me, oh

Yeah, yeah, I'm completed
I'm scrolling through that old screen
But I'm crushed just off what I'm reading
I kept it pushing
Life goes on 'cause I'm undefeated
Feet planted on cement while I'm bleeding
I put that shit in these poems
And let you read it (oh, oh)
Mutualistic nonfiction
You consume while I'm eating
I spill my conscious
Never thought I was feeding
I run the planet 'fore I ever seen it, yeah
(Yeah) I run the planet 'fore I ever seen it
I said I can kill my guard
I don't need no fine line with you
That's some shit you never
Find in a lifetime, nigga




I can kill my guard
I don't need no fine line with you yeah, uh
