Serious
Russ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been knowin' about each other for a while now
Ain't no past we could have taken for this lifestyle
Had a girl, you had a man but that was long ago
Evolvin' daily, please don't judge me off a song ago
I know you ain't gonna wait forever
I know that it's gonna take more effort
You ain't gotta tell me what I gotta do to prove it to you, I know
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious (mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious (mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)

ATL, you're on call
I just toured, I just balled
I got time now, girl I'm ready
You so fed up
You won't test me
You say I say that I'm busy
Way too much but you still miss me
I still fuck you, you still kiss me
That all you resent me for

Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious (mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious (mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)

Look, I been thirsty since before your water broke
I been thirsty since before Tha Carter IV
You teach Spanish and you work nights in the club
Life is falling into place, but not in love
I'm still tryna see you even though I fucked already
I ain't kick you out even after I bust already
You think that I'll choose another woman over you
Fuck talkin', I'ma show you

Baby take me serious (Fuck talkin', fuck talkin')
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious (mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious
Baby take me serious (mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm)





(Fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin')
(Fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin', fuck talkin')

The fact that he not only writes and produces his own music but he can make a song video in his own house, with his own car, usual jewelry and a normal girl shows the kinda guy he is.

Thank you for choosing a girl that is beautiful and looks like the way the rest of us look! No shade to the other women but not everyone has the ability to spend lots of money on the way that they look. Glad to see appreciation for other types of women it's nice to see a girl that looks like the way most of us do and she is beautiful!
