The XX Feat. JJ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Still moving under gunfire
Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
Where enemies hide
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Holy, Holy .
That Sunlight will shine on you
Just you, and me
Sunlight that comes from You .
Still moving under gunfire
Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
Where enemies hide
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
Where the weak lies
When no one's beside
I will fight, till the end times
Till my knees cry
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
Still moving under gunfire
In the night sky
Where enemies hide
I will fight, till I die
Till the Morning Light
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)
Holy, Holy .

LYRICS:
I got summer on my mind, nowhere else though
Lord take me downtown or to you
People show me love but I can't take it
What I said was true, real pain, can't fake it

Still they wanna be with me, still they wanna leave with me
Still they wanna feel like me, still I can't believe it's me
Time you spend on me, I spend mine on being free
On a flight to NYC, I see you when you see me
[Hook]
I wonder why, why you have to lie
When you've seen me cry, when you've seen me shy
When you've seen me high, when you will see me die

[Verse 2]
Where we from, you don't know, you will know where we will go
Yeah I'm here, where are you? There's nothing you can't do
We up in here with one thing on our mind, let's leave with something
Then we play Still Dre, my way, all day, in Beats by Dre
Then we go and get buzzed, get drunk, get crunk, get fucked up

[Outro]
I am S/Y, no lie, at least you get to witness
Kill so many songs, you'd think I have a hitlist
That's Drake, well we love Young Money business
Cause we're young and we get money
