Tony Tillman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ridin' round with that thing tucked
So high I could fly over your plane bruh,
thankin' God Cause I ain't 'posed to be here, nah I ain't 'posed to be here, boy
That's no lie (that's no lie, that's no lie), on my hood
That's no lie (that's no lie, that's no lie), all facts
That's no lie (that's no lie, that's no lie), ask my momma
That's no lie Ain't got no need to brag or boast on my past
No smoke and mirrors I live in glass,
real talk I promise G
I lived risky, real risky, had church dust on my mama's knee
Loud packs in my Nike socks,
deuce five in my dungarees
16 with that gun on me, might pull and pop if u lunge on me, Smoked loud like everyday I just thank God for no lung disease. Looking back on my street life, man I recall what that done to me
My mind gone out doing wrong
Just just praying God don't punish me
Walkin' round with that weed smell
hitting licks for that retail
Thinkin' bout how I came up, my mind gone out
Ridin' round with that thing tucked
So high I could fly over your plane bruh,
thankin' God Cause I ain't 'posed to be here, nah I ain't 'posed to be here, boy
That's no lie (that's no lie, that's no lie), on my hood
That's no lie (that's no lie, that's no lie), all facts
That's no lie (that's no lie, that's no lie), ask my momma
That's no lie

I already commented on this song before but i had to comment again. Thank you Tony Tillman for sharing your testimony. The Lord Jesus Christ loves sinners, even the worst gang members. The dope dealers can come to him, the beggars, the shooters, even the hopeless drug addict can come to Him and He will save their souls and change their lives. I am forever grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for saving me because I am very stubborn and reckless in the sense that I satisfy my selfish desires first before thinking about how it affect others. The Lord also is cleansing me from porn. He constantly directs me on what to do to stay on the right path. Thanks for this song. I've listened to this song over a thousand times since it came out because it is real and true. Jesus Christ saves sinners. Come to Jesus.
