Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
(This beat from Murda)
Like what's up with all that back and forth, no other side
Know they sick, them niggas bitches, let they brother die
They come around, no tellin' when, nobody knows
And she got feelings when they bomb 'em and throw 'em away
It can't go no other way, what made you happy every day
And you know truly, I don't never wanna see you cry
But he just wanna see you cry, and you don't wanna see me die
Got a nigga lookin' like kill
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle
I kept it real but them niggas ain't keep it with me
Now I'm the target, went the farthest, they gon' pay me for a feat
I feel the tallest, they the smallest when they standin' next to me
And they gon' take me how I come
Air Force 1's, that's just for fun, but that ain't gas
She might think it's somethin' but to me that's just ass
You live 'round the opps but you still want me to come pass
Make me feel I want another gun, then I want another one
Got a nigga lookin' like kill
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle
Uh, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Uh, ayy, ayy
Got a nigga lookin' like kill
'Fore I let you take my life, boy, I'll kill you
Dangerous when I come out, she like, "I feel you"
Talk before but now it's always like I hear you
But you don't hear me, like nigga, we got guns too
You don't fear me, that's stickin' shit like Kung Fu
Chung eerie, I kinda think I want you
Sight blurry like the rain on the way, say she really wanna move to Seattle

Uh, uh, say she really wanna move to Seattle

Like what's up with all that back and forth, no other side
What's the point of all this arguing when there is no other perspective being represented?
Know they sick, them niggas bitches, let they brother die
I know these guys are weak and cowardly, they wouldn't even protect their own blood
Know they were servin' but they ain't spin like washin' clothes
I know they were selling drugs, but they haven't been laundering the money properly
They come around, no tellin' when, nobody knows
They show up unexpectedly and nobody knows when they will come or go
And she got feelings when they bomb 'em and throw 'em away
She has emotions when they hurt or kill people, but they don't care about their victims
It can't go no other way, what made you happy every day
This is how things have to be, even if it makes you happy
And you know truly, I don't never wanna see you cry
I genuinely do not want to see you upset or crying
But he just wanna see you cry, and you don't wanna see me die

Now I'm the target, went the farthest, they gon' pay me for a feat
I am being targeted now, but I have achieved far more than they have ever accomplished

I feel like a giant compared to them because of my strength and accomplishments
And they gon' take me how I come
They will accept me as I am
Air Force 1's, that's just for fun, but that ain't gas
Wearing Air Force 1 sneakers is just for fun, it's not a big deal
She might think it's somethin' but to me that's just ass
She might consider it important, but I don't think it's a big deal
You live 'round the opps but you still want me to come pass
You live near my enemies, but you still want me to visit you
Make me feel I want another gun, then I want another one
This situation is making me feel like I need more firearms to protect myself
