What About Me
Tito Lopez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah and I'm up in heaven
Like we howling
We scheming
Yelling up in heaven
Like we howling
We scheming

Guess this crocked lead him nigger

Anywhere with his drama to be found
Norman Bates's off and his pissed
Just told my mama to be proud
Oh yeah, don't know me?
I'm Theodore my brothers can kill nova colors
I'm just gonna eat, what the hell do you think this green is for?
We're just squirrels trying to get nuts
So chipmunks or what have you
I praise the fail, and let day surveys
Coming up at you, if I have to
I take you out
'Cause my nigger then already told me
Don't worry about the pinhole
Home boy go in
If the put you in again
I'll put you out
I said this and I meant this
You boys are on my hit list
Shout out to Georgia and Memphis
And low temperatures that I roll
And let me get focused the dopes
I don't notice is hopeless
If I don't get liner, they ending days
With a play for the locus
Lord Jesus you see us
We've been places you can't look over
With soldiers got hair that's gray
And got faces that make them look older
It's colder down on the close
You and the most getting the lease
Ain't just trying to eat, I'm trying to feast
Yelling up in heaven like

Like we howling
We scheming
Yelling up in heaven
Like we howling
We scheming
Yelling up in heaven
Like we howling
We scheming
Yelling up in heaven

What about the real?

Can't deny my intensity
Got a propensity
A tendency to snap the harder
So the artist's got to mention me
Now I've been here for centuries
My spirit eternal
But the flame is infernal
Probably with the soldiers and journals
Salute me!
On a hunger game I was practically packed and
Now a from Tito like Neyo it changes everything
Forever bring my a game
'Cause I know no other option
I'm the T that goes in front of the L
You see like t on whacking
I got two homes and I'm cracking
Respect my partner in Gaza
We've been fly and see out niggers
Graduate from larval
When I start to get in the zone it ain't no
Combine down
Get on top of the mountain
We these commanders
Then probably get down

Lord Jesus you see us
We've been places you can't look over
With soldiers got hair that's gray
And got faces that make them look older
It's colder down on the close
You and the most getting the lease
Ain't just trying to eat, I'm trying to feast
Yelling up in heaven like

Like we howling
We scheming
Yelling up in heaven
Like we howling
We scheming
Yelling up in heaven
Like we howling
We scheming
Yelling up in heaven

What about the real?
What about the real?
