Splitbreed & Basis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bright Lights
Big city Rave heavy and roll out
Cash checks and wild out Woke up this morning to sirens
With a look like Miley Cyrus
In my bed
With the beats to my head
Were soundin′ a lot like violence
Yo, rockin' with Vegas′ finest (Yup)
Better you call me Johannes (Yup)
Better you call them to turn off the volume
The flow that he spittin' is timeless
Can we please have a moment of silence (Sssh)

Bring it back now!
Shoutout to Basis (Whaddup?)
Let's go back to the basics
Call your girls back to the crib
And we can get twisted like shoelaces
C-c-c-c-c-call your girls back to the crib
And we can get twisted like shoelaces

(Vocal Chops)

Rave heavy and roll out
Cash checks and wild out Cash checks and wild out
W-wild out
W-wild out
W-w-w-w-w-wild out

Woke up this mornin′ to sirens (Chants)

Beats to my head were soundin′ a lot like

(Vocal Chops)

Yeah, the call me the microphone murderer
I wait for the sirens
Ain't none of these rappers can see me
Like lookin′ in the back of your eyelids
Splitbreed we flyin' (flyin)
Splitbreed I′m the pilot (pilot)
Splitbreed like a pitbull
Mixed with a hungry ass lion, yeah

I'm livin′ (yeah), they talkin' (yeah)
We bitin' (yeah), they barkin′ (yeah)

We doin′ what they watchin'
And we ain′t got time to clockin'
See I put in that work and not clock out
Jump in that whip and not smash out
Haters are wishin′ we back out
But it won't happen like me with a fat cow

Bright lights
Big city???
Bass heavy Rave heavy and roll out
Cash checks and wild out Cash checks and wild out
W-wild out
W-wild out
W-w-w-w-w-wild out

Woke up this mornin′ to sirens
(Chants)

Beats to my head were soundin' a lot like
