Everybody
United Kingdom Of Dance (U.K.D.) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only wanted fame cause I wanted to be wanted
It was so insane, I was spending over budget
Trying to buy her love, was it really what I wanted
Everything is priceless to me, they call us thugs though
Everybody brain dead to me, they live a lie though
I got no relations my love, you cannot tame me
Them mistakes were maken to look like I was worth shit
Walked around judged, yeah my city was a court house
Walk up in the crip, I see the hate like, what is that about?
I be trying to find out while I'm gone, what is said about me an my brodie
They be trying to know our whereabouts
I can see the ladder, we the least that is cared about
Goddamn, I ain' seen that comin'
Ain' gon' lie, was kinda expectin' 808's or somethin'
Switch up the whole vibe like a bitch do when she on her period
They been sayin' I'm toxic with all this music shit I'm bummin'
You may think you dreamin', ain't no illusion, this the climax
They be sayin', "X, how you get that far", with excitement
Those the same ass people who motivated me with hatefulness
All this time, absorbing the pain like I'm Cell, pretending how hurtful it is
You know what's crazy, they gon' be there for you once when you dead or rich
Ain't no exaggeration, this the movement, that's just how it is
Had this crush at school who hit me up just now, let's picture this
If I'm still the same old nigga, same old shit, is this how it is?
Ain't no fuckin' treadmill, when we run shit up, we get somewhere
I be anti-static, I don't wear the shit that some would wear
Go tell all the haters on the internet the sun is here
Changes for new beginnings, for some of my niggas, that end is near
Only wanted fame cause I wanted to be wanted
It was so insane, I was spending over budget




I felt everything I'll ever feel
So I'll never feel ever again
