Shiloh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so unfair the things you do

Life handed me lemons but I ain’t take em
Made OJ when they did Nazi my concentration
Put my camp on it
Mutantwave put my stamp on it
You afraid to see us lock the game
And put a clamp on it
But that's something you gotta deal with
While I'm still the enemy of
State like will Smith
They Wanna still my energy and
Activate the kill switch
But this is a higher power
The man in the iron mask
Sitting inside the tower
Unknown identity but you’ll find
Out about him
Wondering why they ain't seeing me often
I'm too busy tryna make history
Liken the tea in Boston
Or HITTING the CLUB bad freaks
We TEE OFF with
And when we leave she take her
T off yeah we GOLFING
And when we're done doing what we're doing
I just use it
As motivation to write my new music
So inspire me voice in my head reminding me
I can't take a break
(brake) even if I was at mieneke
I'm in another Zone
So these haters want me gone
Could here it their sneaky
Subs and underhanded undertones
But you not gonna cease nothing that own
You just gonna see a new
Ceasar build another Rome
Aardvark I hunt alone
On your mark get set let's go
Killing shit somebody pass Marcia
Clark the phone
Lyrics, delivery and deep topics is
What I gave you
But you still sleeping like you
Had a Cosby Quallude but that’s ok too
And you don’t want no real smile nigga you K2
Bragging bout your Draco but we got a K too
So we can make it hot in
Here like Nelly in 2K2
Lyrics out of this world and
The flow is Roswell
Plus I'll cocktail bomb your
Car like Bronx tail
And you don’t wanna fuck wit
My bars like Bronx tail
I'm like Sunny in this bitch
When I come up in this bitch
I'm your father, I'll sun you in this bitch
Find your visor
Like it’s summer in this bitch
Lyricist but can still kill you
With that mumbling shit
I'm the GOAT kicking these
Trolls under a bridge
So tell your favorite rapper run and hide
Cuz the type of shit I'm dropping
Will make the plumber hide plain Jane
My bitch fly she a plane Jane
Im the king of the jungle simba
Should be my mane name
But Magneto Dayo is the Moniker




Google it on your monitors
To find out that I'm the one
