Dust
Travis Scott Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Ashes, dust to dust death all on her mind
Don't let her fuck it up
Fucking with these hoes make you put it up
At least Adam and Eve got to bust a nut
High of the blow just bought another nose
And I might pull off in that
Ghost like where that nigga go?
Doctor gave her double D's cause

She heard a nigga flow
Whoa, she move the nigga aside
Cause he ain't important she turn that
Cigarette to ash and watch it hit the dust
Girl quit playing yeah you
Know that nigga boring
Not too many in leather pants
That can fuck with us
Now let us dance while I throw the dust
Ashes, to dust to dust
Know they all throw they hands
Cause they fuck with us
So many bitches bob and weave
But they don't bob enough
Now these bitches mad look what
I done started up put that whip outside
I hit the key it started up
I told them kiss my ass while I hit the dust
I hit the weed then I hit the gas
So much gold you think a nigga broke
So we gon' pull of trunk first
So that you niggas know
With an Irish centerfold but all
She know is Adido
Damn my momma proud a nigga
Made it out the moat
Where the sun always shine yeah
But not no more
We party in the jungle till it's time to go
So everybody rumble as they hit the floor
And if the world end it don't
Matter cause we bout to blow

If the world came crashing down
Would you be here with me?
That's all I would die to see
If the world came crashing down
Would you be here with me?
That's all I would die to see

Driving 108 don't crash and hit the rail
Don't look deep in her eyes
You might see hell 32 to 34 not that O'Neal
So many hours, after hours in hotels
What a crazy night
I ran away from home just to change my life
Remember when my niggas told me them
Owls came out at night
So now we bout to touch the sky
Just to play in the night
Caught me standing now I'm in there standing
We staying the night
Daddy left but that nigga
Never said goodnight man that wasn't right
Now I want all the power
Expected a lot from that coward
And any second I'm bound to wow ya
All them beats I dealt
For like two years momma all
Them beats I felt i can massage my own dick
I don't need your help
And I can crash my own whip
I don't need your belt
Tell me where the fuck was you
When I couldn't feed myself
And all that wack shit help me be myself
I swear I never

If the world came crashing down
Would you be here with me?
That's all I would die to see
If the world came crashing down

Would you be here with me?
That's all I would die to see
