Take Me Back
Specifics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spit it right I can't decipher with a spliff hanging from my lips
gang of kids livin' different cycles
same mic, slang contributin' from many source, thanks gimme yours
if we hang again I'll give it back to him,
even score settle back, war stories, yo if it's black call the kettle that
oh glory, oh golly triple grass yellow young crazy opposites
Hollywood drama playin' in my thought watchin' us
blur like mirage does, stop the tape, put it on pause, gotta break them tabs off
most broads get erased fast, armed but I'm glad I could take that
lil' clicks dippin' shit, mixin' straight out the liq's cabinet, strange after taste
did magic he licks her, glodie locks sittin on the jock of the bay
he French kissed her, ever since then old flame went away,
and no sweat I never looked at that bitch the same way
and weed sparked with ones, just parking lots he's got braces, flies both gold fleece with Jason in the argonized, x, g, f in the future,
used to be a cute smile, eye contact with a step holla back hi, let's talk sometime soon, super, I'mma buy myself wine coolers
Yo what up, this is doo-wop
I stick around for the end, betcha moola,
and tip a drop of the sky, you might forget me
what if any event move the dutchess
Yo what up, this is doo-wop
I stick around for the end, betcha moola
tip a drop of the sky, you might forget me, what if any event
Shit changes people, they switch, went into hit made sequels
all the stayed fixtures meet sore and repeats those, days of our lives is breezing by
our peeps die, get rich, g to the y, Mary ill bitch is pregnant with aliens
evil twins come back to life, clone babies into lady friends, ovaries
yo but we leave the show more frequently, the most meet again,
only when the season ends, what a friend, they got what they needed from us
I guess we got what we needed from them, crush come and go,
walk clutch your hands and we stroll, once again got rough
the tough get rollin and don't look back, stolen my heart like a bucket of gold, fuck it I'm Gold
and have mad bucket, I'm stoked seems great to be able to say,
I knew that dipped we sipped beers it's been ages but I'm risin' to cheers.
shit
Yo what up, this is doo-wop
I stick around for the end, betcha moola
tip a drop of the sky, you might forget me, what if any event you the dutchess
Yo what up, this is doo-wop
I stick around for the end, betcha moola
tip a drop of the sky, you might forget me, what if any event you the dutchess
Yo what up, this is doo-wop
I stick around for the end
In the same veneered lips make sick shapes, and ain't a lot changed
since I've been away, dear age is just a digit, yo I have faith
that all you chicks I click with, wanna wrap yo' legs around this dick
life is just pissed, brand mirrors washin' lipstick, erasin' all the gossip and mischief
I got it in my brain, the specifics ain't lettin' this rearrange
even if it's just not realistic, wish it could take me back
that same apple berry side of the sane we tapped,
yo the blue shit take me back like music
any dames I knew in my life they passed through this
and she'd began to take me back, that Zima Alize and champagne we tapped




yo the wood bong take me back like love songs
many dust we just stayed up to sun dawn, one love y'all

Spit it right I kick a cypher with a spliff
Danging from my lips,
Gang of kids living different cycles,
same Mics
Slang contributed from many source, thanks
Gimme yours, if we hang again I’ll give it back to him,even
Score settle back, war stories, yo if it’s black
Call the kettle that
Old glory, oh golly, tremble glass jello
Young crazy opposites, Hollywood drama
Playin in my thoughts
Watchin’ us, blur like mirage does
Stop the tape, put it on pause, gotta break
Them tabs off, most broads get erased fast
Odd, but I’m glad I could tape that
Little clique sippin shitmix straight out the
Liqs cabinet
Strange after taste, did magic, elixir
Goldilocks sittin on the dock of the bay, and
French kissed her
Ever since then old flame went away, no
Sweat
I never looked at that bench the same way, and
Weed spots were once just parking lots
Teeth gots braces floss, gold fleece was
Jason and the argonauts
Ex-GFs in the future, used to be, a cute
Smile, eye contact
Should I step, holla back, Hi, let’s talk
Sometime soon super
I'm a buy myself wine coolers
