Birds
Soundbynight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Icey on my wrist
I was just rich
Might steal your girl
But I'm taken like a bitch
Blah blah uh
Yeah I listen to your shit
Mix up with bird
And I fourth it in a bird

And I
Got them birds
Got them birds
Got them birds
Got them birds
Got them birds
Got them birds
Living is a curse
Riding in a hearse
Sometimes I'm the worst
Sometimes I'm the best
Yeah you got me stressed
I cannot relax
I cannot forget
I'm on my own
You playing hard to get
And I know
I'm already on
A Percocet
Bitch I am unknown
I am undead
And I was on one fifty third
Tryna find all the birds
And I was on one fifty third
Tryna find all the birds
Got them birds
Got them birds
Got them birds

Got them birds
Got them birds
