Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be dead by the end of the day, motherfucker hold up
Give me death, or give me brain
I don't care bout what you say, cause you playing motherfucker, hold up
I take my time with what I say
Losing sanity each day, I kinda hate to call you babe, now hold up
You need to get out of my way, who am I kidding babe just stay
No, we could do this every day, like hold up
Got faded, now they lost in translation, see
Payed off my Kia, now I'm craving some bling
Lost in my room, but that room ain't for me
I been the fool for too long in each scene
Got them views, but them views ain't the truth, that's the thing
Never good news when the news comes to me
Got you holding my arm like you holding this string
No, get me out the bag right now
Gimme that cat, baby lemme see that ass
Imma take you right back right now
Hold you like the past, got me hoping it'll last
But I'm guess I'm kinda rash right now
Flip it, turn you back, now I guess you got my ass
Imma take you to the back right now
You know I know that shit gon back fire
You attack, liar
I just need some meds for my pain
I'll be dead by the end of the day, motherfucker hold up
Give me death, or give me brain
I don't care bout what you say, cause you playing motherfucker, hold up
I take my time with what I say
Losing sanity each day, I kinda hate to call you babe, now hold up
You need to get out of my way, who am I kidding babe just stay
No, we could do this every day, like hold up
Hold up
And I just need some meds for my pain
I'll be dead by the end of the day, motherfucker hold up
Give me death, or give me brain
I don't care bout what you say, cause you playing motherfucker, hold up
I take my time with what I say
Losing sanity each day, I kinda hate to call you babe, now hold up
You need to get out of my way, who am I kidding babe just stay
No, we could do this every day
