TOKYO’S REVENGE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shawty pass on it all I needed, ah
Cocaine on her nose and her habit bad
She gon' sleep while I drive, I'm gon' crash
'Cause I don't feel the pain no more
Bullets in your fucking skull
Mix the Percs with Adderall
Feel it burning in my soul
I swear I'm gon' write my own name in the Death Note
It's just one of us can save us both, would that be okay?
She my twisted fantasy, I wanna go, bitch, no way
When I do drugs, I feel like I'm dying, but it's to save myself
These Percs in my stomach make me wanna vomit
But I don't need no help
These niggas, they don't even scare me a little bit
Piece on my hip and it go down
Trust me, that bitch will get scary
Get popped like a cherry, I smoke 'em in four rounds
I'd rather be all alone, can't get my demons to let go
I'd rather be all alone while I write you in my death note
Run into your house, lights on, no mask
Shawty pass on it all I needed, ah
Cocaine on her nose and her habit bad
She gon' sleep while I drive, I'm gon' crash
'Cause I don't feel the pain no more
Bullets in your fucking skull
Mix the Percs with Adderall
Feel it burning in my soul
Where is my fuckin' mind? I'm losing my head, yo
I swear I'm gon' write my own name in the Death Note
My soul is burnin' again
From your betray, lovin'
Time flies, time goes away
I'm high out of my brain
Feel like the man on the moon
Feel like the darkness is getting rid of my energy
I feel like all of my days coming to a doom
Sittin' late thinkin' about you in my room
I remember when you made me feel comfortable
Me and Tokyo been goin' through it
Sayin' everything, including "Love is stupid"
Run into your house, lights on, no mask
Shawty pass on it all I needed, ah
Cocaine on her nose and her habit bad
She gon' sleep while I drive, I'm gon' crash
'Cause I don't feel the pain no more
Bullets in your fucking skull
Mix the Percs with Adderall
Feel it burning in my soul
Where is my fuckin' mind? I'm losing my head, yo
I swear I'm gon' write my own name in the Death Note

When I found this song, I was like jumping when I saw that it’s Tokyo, then I saw ft. Zedsu, and then I clicked the song and saw ft. TheHxliday. I’ve never been more excited to listen to a song. It’s the best song I’ve heard of this genre, it’s perfect.
