S.V.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord forgive me
Cause you know I'm stuck in these tracks
Dashing with a shank
Past 12 tryna dodge 12
They in the corner
I see
Blue and
I hit the pedal
Telling me that I move mysterious
Last time I checked
The men they tagged me unserious
Last time
I figured out
You were just delirious
Piss stratn smell like it's 1942
They stare different when you young, you black and whippin
Shawty think she a playa
Baby welcome to the party
Keep two of your favorite baddies
Off cam
I do it boldly
Every nigga started with a phone
Your bro he's been tryna reach you
Life been tryna teach you
Is he ready to learn
Or is he gonna play victim
Lean in the streets blame it all on the
On the...
Last time I checked he bagged a degree
Still he's unemployed
Prolly feeling suicidal
Violation
Tryna have me instituted
Like a robot
No no
In desperate need of a shoulder
That man he fell out outta order
Late nights life on the border
Late nights tryna get in order
Heard you got bars
But you suck with the beats
No
Phones tap tap
Like a metronome still
Feds tryna break down the alibi
I heard judge gave him 99 years of can
By the time he's out the skies they turned to snow
808s slide like Loc on the beat
And Krim on the Mic
Had to give a shawty space she basic
Tryna start smoke and act like a victim
Nah
I See em jamming to 5E say we litty
For every one I lost
I did shed some tears
But I hopped in the store and flooded the wrist
Man I really thought that the boy
He was finished
They gotta leave lag now
Cause the name 5E is word on the streets
Bro never seemed to care who was breathing
Og told me bust a move, exit the scene
Pull up in v's last name German
Bi lingual luxury
Mans not a racist
Suicide door come
Hop out the door still
Straight out the trenches
Baby I'm drenched in grace

He was finished
He was wrong and that person became successful
They gotta leave lag now
They need to leave their old ways behind
Cause the name 5E is word on the streets
Their reputation and name is spreading around
Bro never seemed to care who was breathing
