Time To Go
U-KISS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on go time
Remember when they used to hate, but now they gone watch me shine
I don't really wanna make no friends with you
Cuz I don't got no time
Got dreams in the Hollywood Hills I'm putting in overtime
Tryna' cash out on this watch piece
Why you hating on me?
Come stop me
I'm not hard to find
New AP this bitch shining
Really might leave you blind
I ain't stressing bout none of my problems, Imma take it one day at a time
Get money don't trust nobody thats how we live in this life
Baby I could never change for you
This is my design
They wanna see me down
But I gotta fly
Taking off in a spaceship
We could be there in no time, yea
Said its go time
In love with the city
In love with the lights
We could take a trip right now straight to the coastline
Say the word and we'll be there in no time (Time)
Shawty its go time
Ain't no one gone hand you shit you gotta go and grind
Got dreams in the Hollywood Hills
I can see the Sign
And its go time
And its go time
We on go time
I need a new AP
I cant even tell the time
And she know I ball like Chris Paul
I pop these Percs like Tylenol
All these hoes on go mode
All it take is one call
Make yo girl come out her draws
Take the top off
These niggas stay lying
Cant take the cap off
I cant be like y'all
And I stay on lean so when I move I kinda stall
And its getting to the point where I can't answer calls
Im on go time
Ima smash a hoe this ain't the first time
And these hoes for everybody so I cant call you mine
I feel like Ray Charles baby I'm seeing dollar signs (Dollar signs)
Said its go time
In love with the city
In love with the lights
We could take a trip right now straight to the coastline
Say the word and we'll be there in no time (Time)
Shawty its go time
Ain't no one gone hand you shit you gotta go and grind
Got dreams in the Hollywood Hills
I can see the Sign
And its go time
And its go time
