Shyst Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one's perfect, got a man I broke my share of hearts
They could be alone but maybe we should play it smart
Reach something, I wanna reach something
Yelling man she can be your [.] be another
ain't talking my world I'll get down for love
Better shake and makin' bases baby proud and nothing
Ask is you trippin' if you ask to stay a while
But gangsta you could take it and we don't clear the [.]

We in business, can't lose, can't lose
All this money I got [.]
I left the club in the coop
Now I'm throwin money off the roof
No scrip the catcher I don't like fees
She f*ck with dozen she dooze to it,
One night brand look how she stand
Wish she walk around with that news boo
Dance down, her ass to it,
Do it down just to beat it up,
Wipe me all, clear me on, just my watch on the [.]

No ones perfect, Ill admit i broke my share of hearts.
Hate to be alone but maybe we should play it smart.
Hands up and fly when i reach the summit yellin
As if she cant be on side of me or nothin
They talkin bout love- i dont get down for love.
Body shakin' achin' makin faces they be fine with nothin.
Ask you if you trippin if you asked to stay a while
But gangsta if you take it we gone play around
And be ass up, face down.

Face down and Jesus
Please don't, we don't believe you
‘cause they clowns and we not
Believe dog and freeze when they see us

Look, rise through the Cadillac
Maybach straight loud in the Cadillac
Face down right now is she going back?
matter of fact she's go round if we sip and act,
Okay, two cups, pour up
Everybody in this bitch go know us.

No ones perfect, Ill admit i broke my share of hearts.
Hate to be alone but maybe we should play it smart.
Hands up and fly when i reach the summit yellin
As if she cant be on side of me or nothin
They talkin bout love- i dont get down for love.
Body shakin' achin' makin faces they be fine with nothin.
Ask you if you trippin if you asked to stay a while
But gangsta if you take it we gone play around
And be ass up, face down.

Barely steppin' out I'm the life on the port
VV going like 16 fat, serious bottle you can ring my life
Type of shit that you dream about
Woke up and check em don't think about em
Shawty bottle retarted, f*ckin' the friend, tell em I'm sorry
[.] ride like a holy
[.] like a moly but I'm not [.] business and the waiter
Feelings got take em all
Love won't trust come on, I'm still acking
Vacation, life is crazy [.] they ain't home all of this
Doing it good, do for me, [.] put your face down

No ones perfect, Ill admit i broke my share of hearts.
Hate to be alone but maybe we should play it smart.
Hands up and fly when i reach the summit yellin
As if she cant be on side of me or nothin
They talkin bout love- i dont get down for love.
Body shakin' achin' makin faces they be fine with nothin.
Ask you if you trippin if you asked to stay a while




But gangsta if you take it we gone play around
And be ass up, face down.
