Travis-Atreo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told bro we in London now bring Dublin out
Lets pick up the pace
Otherwise the mission ain't planned
We losing our hours
Remember them days
Me and bro would talk for hours
The Topic was money
In 10 different ways
The vision ain't cloudy
That just reminded me
I needa stay hungry and pray
Please please forgive me for all of my sins
I just wanted to win
But the longer I pushed out my pain
And put it in beats the feelings came in
A lot of you wondering
Where the accents from
Where I want it to be
So please get the fuck off me
I'm doing my thing
Just hop on the team

I remember when the money was long
I remember when the money was peak
Either way I faced my front
Not a day got a pussy in me
I don't know if she knows what I'm on
I wanna say
But I'm afraid she'll flee
I wanna love but rn it's long
Cause I'm riddled with ptsd
Naija boy but I'm forged in Dublin
Different type of noise when I come in
I remember days when they weren't budging
But nowadays a nigga ain't fussing
There were days I'd talk to myself I was fighting them demons my niggas would help
Stubborn yute since I was a kid
Cause more time I can handle myself

I told bro we in London now bring Dublin out
Let's pick up the pace
Otherwise the mission ain't planned
We losing our hours
Remember them days
Me and bro would talk for hours
The Topic was money
In 10 different ways
The vision ain't cloudy
That just reminded me
I needa stay hungry and pray
Please please forgive me for all of my sins
I just wanted to win
But the longer I pushed out my pain
And put it in beats the feelings came in
A lot of you wondering
Where the accents from
Where I want it to be
So please get the fuck off me
I'm doing my thing
Just hop on the team

It's The label man pick up the phone
I said conas at tu
They want me but a nigga don't want too
They heard the vision then ran through
It's a ciycle but I'm good like Wiggins
Call me Michael give her D no Higgins
I'm entitled to the shit that I'm winning
This is just how I be living
Gimme your money I'm an NFT
I'm OT Like NSG
I don't care I'm a menace see
This is just a letter to me

I told bro we in London now bring Dublin out
Let's pick up the pace
Otherwise the mission ain't planned
We losing our hours
Remember them days
Me and bro would talk for hours
The Topic was money
In 10 different ways
The vision ain't cloudy




That just reminded me
I needa stay hungry and pray
