Avalanche
Reggie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

If I get high enough
I think I can fly or something
Not gon' lie I been inside too much
'Cause coming up I was around too much
Know me, don't talk too much
I'd rather write it down or something
Put one in the air
If we talking man 'cause that's only fair
Before I'm coming
I'm literally feeling thee
"Oh hold on man these cost only five"
Lemme gone head get ten of these
Fuck, I might like nicotine, sad as hell
Growing up we was always bad as hell
Hair ain't changed still nappy
And my lips still chappy
I ain't getting no naps in
I'm just tryna get back in
And I hope that God think I'm ready
I hope that God think 'bout letting
Me fuck around change my whole setting

That would be
Nothing short of a blessing
Life been
Nothing short of a lesson

I met an angel named Heaven in a devil's land
I took a dose and ain't, ain't been right ever since
Even when my downs feel like an avalanche (avalanche)
Somehow everything in my life feel like it's Heaven-sent (Heaven)

Some people never been cut off or these niggas fabricated
Seems stretch
Really I wish I seen less and was happy more
Could imagine more
Summer block hot than a dragon was
I was in love with a matador
Mad at the fact that I had to tour
I had to dip on the road getting chips, I'm a tortilla
Sippin' the Julio straight with the lime 'til I'm Tostino
I was too use to, hold on
Too use to using excuses
Stood up on my own deuces
I'ma keep loading these clips
Hope it don't jam when I shoot
I pour the Henny with Henny, my Ethiopian plug
I see that these niggas lit (these niggas lit)
We 'bout to blow out the bulb (blow out the bulb)
I met a dove out in Watts, I think she opening up
She in the feeling, she want me feel her fallopians up
I'm in the field half the time
Flying close to the bucks, yup
What you gon' do when the lights go off
And you stuck with the bitch you don't like no more?
And them niggas ain't paying your price no more?
First of all

Second of all
Hold on your verse real strong, couple bars too long
Life so crazy that ain't no secret
One day your helping and the next day you need it
Don't count your eggs 'til you see them
Don't put them in the same basket 'less it's Easter
Or unless the timing right
I been left out in the rain too much
I might fuck around put my whole mind in rice

Hold on, hold on, hold on, bruh, bruh, hold on, sing

I met an angel named Heaven in a devil's land (a devil's land)
I took a dose and ain't, ain't been right ever since (ever since)
Even when my downs feel like an avalanche (avalanche)
Somehow everything in my life feel like it's Heaven-sent (Heaven)





Even when my downs feel like an avalanche
Somehow everything in my life feel like it's Heaven-sent (Heaven)
