Ciara
Sudan Archives Lyrics

Crack open that loud
Open the container of loud (a type of strong marijuana) for smoking.

Smoke on my mild, run up a mile
Smoke on the milder strain of marijuana and then run for a mile.

And hit a lick
Perform an act of robbery or stealing.

Stop makin' me frown
Stop causing me to become unhappy or upset.

You feelin' aroused, you wanna fuck around
You are feeling excited and want to engage in sexual activity.

Hop off my dick
Stop bothering or annoying me.

I feel two ways about your two-face
I have mixed feelings about your deceitful and hypocritical behavior.

Runnin' around talkin' your ways
Going around and spreading rumors or gossip about others.

How 'bout next time
Suggesting a different approach in the future for handling things.

If you wanna spray it
If you want to say something bad or negative about me.

Say it to my face?
Directly tell me what you have to say instead of spreading rumors behind my back.

If you, if you feelin' brave
Challenging the person to be bold and confrontational instead of being cowardly.

I got a cousin in Chicago
I have a relative living in Chicago.

Who got homies from the way
Who has friends from the same neighborhood.

They'll smack you in your face
They will physically attack and hit you in the face.

A certain type of hello
A form of greeting that involves violent behavior.

Who will pull up on you now
Who will appear and confront you immediately.

Do you get the picture now, bitch?
Do you understand the situation now and recognize the danger of your actions?

Two ways, two-faced
Having two different approaches or personalities, one which is deceitful.

Pretty faces, ugly ways
Having an attractive appearance but cruel or nasty behavior.

This is insane, stay in your lane
This is crazy, focus on your own life and don't interfere with mine.

Or get out my way, hey
Either cooperate with me or stay out of my path.

I just got my doggy certified
My dog has recently achieved an official certification for training or skills.

I'm so dignified, cash flow left and right
I am proud and respectable, and have a large amount of money coming in constantly.

If you wanna ride, treat my sister right
If you want to be involved with me, you must treat my sister with respect.

I don't wanna fight if I see you tonight
I don't want to have a physical altercation if I happen to see you tonight.

A-B-C-D-E-F, fucking G
A random exclamation, possibly indicating frustration or confusion.

Stop talkin' all that shit if you can't handle regrets
Don't say negative things about me if you're not ready to deal with the consequences or negative feelings.

'Cause I got ride or dies 'til I die that can deal with bullshit
I have loyal friends who will support me no matter what, and can deal with difficult situations.

Yeah, that's right, right by my side
Yes, that's correct, they will always be there for me.

Yes, I loved you, girl
I had feelings of love for you at one point.

But our drama hurts
Our complicated relationship caused emotional pain and distress.

Yes, we was friends first
At the beginning, we had a friendship before anything romantic or sexual.

But I gotta turn the curb
But I need to take a different path or make a change in our relationship.

You're one of those girls
You are the type of girl who causes problems and drama.

We gon' straighten you out, book a perm
We will help you improve your behavior, possibly a reference to a perm as a symbol of getting one's act together.

It was such a blur
Everything happened so fast and with confusion.

First, I thought it was all heart
At first, I believed our relationship was pure and came from the heart.

Then you knocked me off guard
But then, you surprised me with unexpected behavior or actions.

They don't know that I'm smart
Others may underestimate or not realize my intelligence or capabilities.

Knew it right from the start
I knew from the beginning that something was not quite right.

Spreadin' all those lies that you brought out
Spreading false information or rumors that caused trouble.

Throwin' dirt on my name
Disparaging or slandering me in conversation or social media.

We don't play those games
We don't engage in petty or manipulative actions.

Fuck you talkin' 'bout?
What are you even saying?

By any means necessary
By any way possible, without limit or rules.

Uncle Reggie, by any means necessary
A reference to Malcolm X's quote, calling for any action necessary to defend oneself.

I'm goin' to get my daughter
I am going to retrieve or protect my daughter.

I don't give a fuck what's goin' on
I don't care what is happening or what others may think.

I'll probably have to dip off, but I'll be back
I may have to leave quickly or suddenly, but I will return.

Say that shit
Give voice to what you are saying, don't hold back.
