S.C.A.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I promise my new bitch so bad and she polished
What I spent on a shirt won’t believe what it cost me
If I got it you got it, that’s how real niggas operate
Cut off distractions watch you concentrate
Man the money piled up with no compensate
I see the opps thru my scope from a far away
Magic I made one disappear like Hardaway
Then she asked if I liked but I told her I loved it
Damaged by plenty, its too much to fix
My heart clogged like a pipe, I need more than a plumber
Invested in drip now I feel like I’m Gunna
I’m churning the pot got me whipping up butter
Stay away from the jakes, niggas fake undercover
Finna move outta state, change the plates on my bumper
I promise
Tryna make it before imma target
But if niggas want smoke imma roll up and spark it
Smoking good dope got me coughing
Rick O head to toe be the outfit
I want a Lambo push to start it
At my show telling valet to park it
(At my show telling valet to park it)
Went back on yo word when you told me you promised
I promise my new bitch so bad and she polished
What I spent on a shirt won’t believe what it cost me
If I got it you got it, that’s how real niggas operate
Cut off distractions watch you concentrate
Man the money piled up with no compensate
I see the opps thru my scope from a far away
Magic I made one disappear like Hardaway
Went back on yo word when you told me you promised
I promise my new bitch so bad and she polished
What I spent on a shirt won’t believe what it cost me
If I got it you got it, that’s how real niggas operate
Cut off distractions watch you concentrate
Man the money piled up with no compensate
I see the opps thru my scope from a far away
Magic I made one disappear like Hardaway
