When
Tyree Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't need no guidance
Baby tell me where your mind is
I've been silent for so long im feeling mindless
But I shine the brightest
No Superstar
cll I wanna see is that ass in reverse
Bring out the best in me I see you testing me
Running round town shit stressing me
Don't need no guidance baby you got it all
You always correcting me when my time is off
She had it all and quick to peep game
Murdered Beautiful and put fancy to shame
Body like an animal that couldn't be tamed
Shit she off the hook I could read her like a book
cnd her demeanor said she ain't fuckin with a crook
The way she had me going you could call me cn cddict
Flying first class sippin champagne
Ballin like a savage like It's still a habit




But you can't have it all
No you can't have it all
