Dope
Sizzy Rocket Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought we were the cool kids
But now I know, I know better
Heartache is the hardest late at night
Yeah, we got some violent memories deep in Brooklyn
Summer weather
Baby, keep me lit and I'll be fine

Tell me you don't want this to be over either
We can go on like we're supposed to
I'm hitting my limit, I'm hitting my limit
I'm hitting my limit

I wasn't so sure, but now I just know
That you keep me feeling things
If you take that away, I'm running on nothing, on nothing
You were the chemical killing me slow
You keep me feeling things
And it hurt, but it's dope
It's dope, it's dope
It's dope, it's dope, it's dope, uh
It's dope, it's dope, it's dope, uh
It's dope, uh
It's dope, the way you
It's dope, it's dope, it's dope

Body like a hotel, baby
I'm vacant but you know I love you
Even if it's buried way deep down
I don't want to take care of myself
I'll wait on you forever
Drive until we wreck into the ground

Tell me you don't want this to be over either
We can go on like we're supposed to
I'm hitting my limit, I'm hitting my limit
I'm hitting my limit

I wasn't so sure, but now I just know
That you keep me feeling things
If you take that away, I'm running on nothing, on nothing
You were the chemical killing me slow
You keep me feeling things
And it hurt, but it's dope
It's dope, it's dope

It's dope, it's dope, it's dope, uh
It's dope, it's dope, it's dope, uh
It's dope, uh
It's dope, the way you
It's dope, it's dope, it's dope

Tell me what you need it's fine
I'll get yours and you'll get mine
Love until we cross the line
Baby, yeah this pain is dope
Tell me what you need it's fine
I'll get yours and you get mine
Love until we cross the line
Baby, this is dope

It's dope, it's dope, it's dope, uh
It's dope, it's dope, it's dope, uh
It's dope, uh




It's dope, the way you
It's dope, it's dope, it's dope
