Get in My Way
Robin Thicke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on let's go
Ain't nobody gonna get in my way (No No No No)
I'm gonna make it, no matter what you say (Alright Alright)
I'm flying by, you better stay in your lane
It's so deny, ain't nobody gonna get in my way

Stefy, out of jail
I'm tired of living in my own hell
I can see your life beyond this cell
(Blue steel can't rule me
All the guards and let the sirens ring)
Working hard like there's a gun in my back
I'll be batting one thousand
With the weight on my back

Come on let's go
Ain't nobody gonna get in my way (No No No No)
I'm gonna make it, no matter what you say (Alright Alright)
I'm flying by, you better stay in your lane
It's so deny, ain't nobody gonna get in my way

Can't censor me, this party's wild
It's burning free, it's meant to be
Inventing my own reality
(The road is getting loose let it go and ? stream
Working hard like there's a gun in my back
I'll be batting one thousand
With the weight on my back

Come on let's go
Ain't nobody gonna get in my way (No No No No)
I'm gonna make it, no matter what you say (Alright Alright)
I'm flying by, you better stay in your lane
It's so deny, ain't nobody gonna get in my way

Baby here's my chance, the wind a my back
The feeling that the leisure running all down my back
My feet hardly hit the ground
I feel like I'm walking on cloud, I did it
No fear no more

Come on let's go
Ain't nobody gonna get in my way (No No No No)
I'm gonna make it, no matter what you say (Alright Alright)
I'm flying by, you better stay in your lane
It's so deny, ain't nobody gonna get in my way

Come on let's go
Ain't nobody gonna get in my way (No No No No)
I'm gonna make it, no matter what you say (Alright Alright)
I'm flying by, you better stay in your lane
No fear no more

Come on let's go
No no no




Alright alright
It's so deny, ain't nobody gonna get in my way
