The Dean's List Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the point? They just hate us when we come around
It's all good we ain't even looking our way
I'm just steady focused waiting for these better days...
So roll it up, keep on getting higher
Dream a little bit, this is the kush to your lighters
So roll it up, keep on getting higher
Dream a little bit, this is the kush to your lighters
Chaos in this city everybody thinks we planned it
But we just living good doing everything we can do
Kinda like you should but you never really can too
I be yelling Sonny! Cause that's my name
Reppin' everything Dean's List like it's a gang
And lately I've been feeling like we don't get enough hate
Everybody waiting just to get a piece of our cake
Everynight is like a dream cause I live it well
I don't smoke a lot, but I kiss and tell
And that blunt is so good that it piss me off
Stay face licking mad like this shit is raw
But the real know the deal we don't fly nigga
We just live we don't sleep we don't die nigga
So keep it coming baby this is just the start girl
You got the best brain, such a smart girl
Elevated like I'm fly instead of coming down
What's the point? They just hate us when we come around
It's all good we ain't even looking our way
I'm just steady focused waiting for these better days...
So roll it up, keep on getting higher
Dream a little bit, this is the kush to your lighters
So roll it up, keep on getting higher
Dream a little bit, this is the kush to your lighters
Yo! Let's go to Cali...
