Evil Eyes
Terrace Martin Malaya YG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You heard I was beefing with some rappers
You heard I was selling packs, YG like a trapper
You heard I got a new deal, YG own his masters
You heard I be living on the edge, I'm ass-backwards
Tuh, mind your fucking business, bitch
I'm out here and I'm getting rich
You can't pay your membership
For Equinox, that's fucking sick
Want to know who I'm fucking with?
Just know that she sucking dick
We crazy in love and she loving it, yeah

Evil eyes, evil eyes
Keep me on my tiptoes when I tiptoe 'round town, uh
Leave my head down from the
Silly lies, silly lies
Stay on my earlobes, my tear folds stay dry, uh

I got reason to leave you this season, please believe me
I'm busy doing things I can't get into
Scheming with sleazy and silly-ass folks, that could be detrimental
Saying, "Aw, man, fuck all that mentality shit", uh
Come, let's get lit, uh
Cut all your losses, big boss, everybody knows that
Dreams of unfeasible nightmares
Staring right back and they're not fair

But why would I give up all my dry goods
To hang out with hyenas?
Tryna eat up all my peace of mind
Think it's time to mind my business like
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
Mind my business like
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la

Evil eyes, evil eyes
Keep me on my tiptoes when I tiptoe 'round town, uh
Leave my head down from the
Silly lies, silly lies
Stay on my earlobes, my tear folds stay dry, uh

They say, "Wait up"
Told 'em, "Catch up with you later"
They say, "Why?"
I say, "No debating"
Can't get caught up with no phony-ass, trifling-ass, funky haters
Popping pills like Now or Laters

But why would I give up all my dry goods
To hang out with hyenas?
Tryna eat up all my peace of mind
Think it's time to mind my business like
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
Mind my business like
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
Tryna mind my business from

Evil eyes, evil eyes
Keep me on my tiptoes when I tiptoe 'round town, uh
Leave my head down from the
Silly lies, silly lies
Stay on my earlobes, my tear folds stay dry

Ayy (damn)
I get all the attention, but I pay it no mind
I'm out here on the grind
Bitch, I'm out here doing fine
Cameras with the light in my face
man, that shit come with the shine (yeah)
But I pay it no mind
I be booling, I'm slime
Just tryna keep my name clean, y'all want it dirty it seem
The homicide detectives questioning, tryna place me at murder scenes
I'm like, "Why would I get caught in the act of murdering?"

Think it's time to mind my business like
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
Mind my business like
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
Mind my business like





hurt, heart (drones)
