Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goin' places you can't go, red beam like Kano
Erupt like a volcano, yeah (yeah)
On a Pegasus like Django, baby, I see your halo (yeah)
She spread her wings like angels (yeah)
In the Cullinan, it's lit, got pneumonia in my fist
All these diamonds on my wrist, yeah

Let that choppa blow a kiss, yeah
Goin' places that you can't go (oh)
Who would ever thought that we would make it from the bando?
And remember I was dead broke 'cause I had my bands up
Shawty fallin' on me, now she on it, but I cancelled
Never thought I'd see the day
That I'd be doin' shows in Norway (oh)
With a Cuban that dancin' like MJ
We came a long way (whoa)
Doors suicide, your one woadie gon' let it fly
Don't let no one take-take me alive (oh)
Goin' places you can't go, red beam like Kano
