1 4 U
Steve Aoki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ey, if I (Steve Aoki), if I
If I told you that I love you
Ey, if I told you that I love you
Would you think I'm lyin'?
Tell you that I love you

Niggas that been through it all
Catch me a body on many a song
I like a bitch with a body and mind
I climb in her eyes to get to them draws
Hot as July on a Wimbledon court
How 'bout a ride? The windows go up
Holler or holla?
Then call the promoter
Pull up and I go and then turn that bitch up
Caught me a body in many a club
Want a Bugatti, I'm spending too much
Wanna do Molly then holla at Bari
But trust me you want it you gonna be up
Handle my business get rid of these boys
Ask all my haters come gimme some more
Never was trapping but I got that crack and that
Bando was jumping like instrument stores

If I told you that I love you, love you
Would you think I lied?
If I told you that I love you
'Cause I will fall with you
If I told you that I love you, love you
If I tell you that I love you, love you, love you

'Cause I will fall with you
'Cause I will fall with you
And you, and you, and you, and you
(I love you, I love you)
'Cause I will fuck with you
(I love you, I love you)

Ey, nigga who's been through it all
Catch him a body I give him a call
Catch me somewhere with that positive vibe
The moon and the sky, I'm stunnin' 'em all
Trust me Lil youngin' the summer is odd
Fucking with the pop in plug and record
Stunting, stunting, stunting, stunting so hard
Think I'm finna get my body insured, yeah
Stop being jealous, no, I'm not a killer but I got me a gun, yeah
I'm shining forever the prodigal son of the diamond I'm from
I'm just a chip from the diamond I'm from
Got popular young when rapping was fun
Show off my nigga, go show off my nigga
You show out enough, they clap and applaud

If I told you that I love you, love you
Would you think I lied?
If I told you that I love you
'Cause I will fall with you
If I told you that I love you, love you
Would you think I lied?
If I tell you that I love you, love you, love you

'Cause I will fall with you
'Cause I will fall with you
And you, and you, and you, and you
(I love you, I love you)




'Cause I will fuck with you
(I love you, I love you)

Started out as friends but I knew we'd end up together
Well, it's been a couple years and it just keeps on gettin' better
I know I'm only human, know I can't predict the future
But I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I'm never gonna lose ya

I'll be your fire to keep you warm when you get cold
I'll follow you into the dark
I'll be your love inside your heart till you get old

So let me be the one, the one for you
Let me be the one, the one for you
And you can be the one for me too (hmm)

The tune works for just-about any female singer. To get Zooey to put her name on this tune is awesome. But let me be the one to say that the credit has to go to Steve Aoki. Another hit, my dude. Thanks also to Ultra Music, for bringing it to my ears!
