JEALOUSY
The Neighbourhood feat. Casey Veggies & 100s Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm paranoid I hate to sleep alone
My minds playin' tricks, tryin' to break my zone
I lost a lot tryin' to reach the throne
Many nights I ain't make it home

She wants me there, It's like a need a clone
I try my best, no matter what it's like I'm always wrong
I guess that's why I wrote this song
Just hoping you would call my phone

Money hit my line
I'm on tour like all the time
Girl you know I'm on my grind
I just need some peace of mind

I hope she hear this shit and press rewind
We went our separate ways until next time
Time to race this marathon at times I feel a step behind
I take it as a lesson learned, And then we cross the finish line
Thank God I woke up in the mornin'
See the sunshine through my blinds
At times I sit and reminisce
On all the things I left behind

Rest in pieces, peace of mind
Someday we will reunite

This is the shit that your baby loves too
Promise you that I'll make a baby with you
Make a momma' of you
Ain't no drama with you
My baby brings heat like a momma' does too

I pay homage to you
And college for the babies
I'll even move your momma' to the bahamas and maybe
I'll take you on the open road, you'll take me where the ocean goes

I'm getting cheesy on these jungle drums
I sound like wheezy on a million
(A milli, a milli)
The moneys coming and I know it but

The money doesn't have control of us
This is the shit, make your momma start cryin'
Not because she's sad, cause her baby's alright
Her baby's her pride, that baby's her life

And momma' would break down if that baby did die
Rest in pieces, peace of mind
Someday we will reunite, again

Rest in peace my peace of mind
I hope that we will reunite
(Check, check, hey, hey, hey)

(Woah, Woah)
(Oh, no, no)
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
If you go, momma, where do we go?
And if you go, momma, what do we lose?
If we leave, momma, when do we breathe?
How do we eat? Where do we sleep?
If you go, momma, where do we go?
If you move, momma, what do we do?
Momma how do we breathe?
How do we eat?
Where do I go to sleep?
If you move, momma...
Oh, No
Where am I gonna go?
I need to go home
I need to go home
I came to party but they, they don't know when to stop
I came to party, but they, they don't know what she got
Like a whisper to me (Like a whisper to me)
Rappers stay not caring (Rappers stay not caring)
They be listenin' to me




I gotta get higher cause you're way up there
(Like a whisper to me, like a whisper to me)

I intended to come and have fun, but the others can't seem to control themselves


I came to party, but they, they don't know what she got
I was hoping to have a good time, but they're unaware of how great my partner is


Like a whisper to me (Like a whisper to me)
Softly spoken words that still have an impact


Rappers stay not caring (Rappers stay not caring)
Musicians seem indifferent to their actions and outcomes


They be listenin' to me
They are paying attention to what I'm saying and doing


I gotta get higher cause you're way up there
I have to improve, since my partner is already so far ahead


(Like a whisper to me, like a whisper to me)
Words spoken quietly but still making an impact
