Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah gang
I'm in the stu with gang right now
I think this is about to be a banger
We out this bitch man
Yeah yeah, let's go

I numb the pain with the drugs I don't have real feels
Just went and copped some perks I hope these real pills
Feel like I'm crashing out in hell, hope Jesus grab the wheel
Baby please just hold my hand and please don't make it weird
We can stroll through hell together fighting all our fears
Just bring a cup of lean, so we can hit a cheers
Yeah, leave your heart at home cause you won't need it here
Yeah, leave your heart at home cause you won't need it here
Please don't tell me about no love I don't wanna hear it
I'm off drugs and she off drugs so who is gonna steer
Voices always in my head
Shit who really hear
Even though I know they there
I'm not even scared
Let's throw a party in this bitch for the fucking of the year
Like what a year it been? It's been a lot of twisted turns
But I will never bend I turn my lessons into blessings
So I always win yeah, yeah
I just hope you understand me
Money in my pockets, yeah, forever banded
I never fall in love again, forever standing
If you gon' toss around my heart, just underhand it
Life is full of questions I hope I don't fail the test
My soul is gone I'm just stuck in this flesh
They know I'm hard but they don't know I got these scars
I try to hide them but I can't
So I'm steady writing songs
I try to be the best I can
But I know I got some flaws
They tryna judge me off my past
So I'm steady ducking laws
Wait, judge me off my past? that's why I'm steady ducking laws
Yeah, you wouldn't get that bar cause you ain't go that hard
Anyways, I'm going far like i'm Brett Favre, yeah
Can't forget the firearm that's like my other arm, yeah
Trapping so damn hard I had to switch the car
My last bitch turned to feds, I had to switch my braud
Yeah, shout out to the gang them niggas not my guards
Yeah, 40 on me, that's my wand, i'll wish a nigga off, yeah
Don't get too deep up in that water you'll get lost
Yeah, my niggas hopping out like frogs
They'll leave you in the pond, yeah yeah

I numb the pain with the drugs I don't have real feels
Just went and copped some perks I hope these real pills
Feel like I'm crashing out in hell, hope Jesus grab the wheel
Baby please just hold my hand and please don't make it weird
We can stroll through hell together fighting all our fears
Just bring a cup of lean, so we can hit a cheers
Yeah, leave your heart at home cause you won't need it here
Yeah, leave your heart at home cause you won't need it here
Please don't tell me about no love I don't wanna hear it
I'm off drugs and she off drugs so who is gonna steer
Voices always in my head
Shit who really hear
Even though I know they there
I'm not even scared
Let's throw a party in this bitch for the fucking of the year
Like what a year it been? It's been a lot of twisted turns
But I will never bend I turn my lessons into blessings
