I Hate You
The Allisons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to keep my body away
But you too me back to the fire
Yea and I burn again
I tried to deflect all the pain
Half of my mental is going insane
Emotion controlling through strains
Chasing the life that's connected to fame
Missing my family to death
Swear the lord know I can mental this test
Go through the motions of being the best
All preparation to get to success
Swear it's like I get it an go
Made a few connections even did me a show
All of these progression just to get me some doe
Counting all my blessings while I vent through this flow
An still it's like I go crazy
Arms to the sky I don't get lazy
Praise to the high why'd I get faded
If I say I got you gotta trust we make it
Wait
I try to keep my body away
But you too me back to the fire
Yea and I burn again
I'm spinning around to you
I would like to say to you
I'm coming back an I'm blinded
Baby since you love me again
So I got you
You say that you got me let's get it
Ride like you want it not like you ain't wit it
Let y'all about pain wit no ending
Losing yo child an you feel like the villain
Our family's wishing the best
Such a new blow to go straight through the chest
Cry all alone if I need to digress
Not of the phone it'll cause to much stress
No mama can't hear her baby
Cry on the phone It could make her crazy
So far gone know my pops he hate it
Grind till I'm on ain't no time to waste it
Mind in a mode for the path to take me
To mom wit a home an the cash is gravy
Goals for the gold I'm a platinum baby
Time heals all an it's time to make it I'm gone
I try to keep my body away
But you too me back to the fire
Yea and I burn again
I'm spinning around to you
I would like to say to you
I'm coming back an I'm blinded
Baby since you love me again
So I got you
I can let you go when I'm through
So I got you
Yea I got you
Wake me up and turn the lights on
I can let you go when I'm through
So I got you




Yea I got you
Wake me up and turn the lights on
