745
Vince Staples Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in that 745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7:45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride?
Look into my eyes and told me "Daddy show you right"
745

745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7:45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride
Look me in my eyes and told me "Daddy show you right"
745

All my life man I want fast cars, NASCAR
All my life I want runway stars, Kate Moss
All my life I want waves at my front door
No green grass, no porch
I just want sea shores
All my life
All my life pretty women done tell me lies
All my life pretty women done tell me lies
All my life pretty women done tell me lies (tell me lies, tell me lies)

I'm in that 745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7:45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride?
Look into my eyes and told me "Daddy show you right"
745

745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7:45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride
Look me in my eyes and told me "Daddy show you right"
745

Eyes can't hide your hate for me
Maybe you was made for the Maybelline
Spend so much tryna park the car
Barely got a tip for the maître d'
You head straight to the oyster bar
I tread light, these times speak
Play too rough might break ya heart
And them glass shoes ain't made to walk
These lonely streets
Unpaved, unscathed
More to do is giving you the coldest feet
Said that she as comin' through after dark
Look at the stars, and hardly speak
This thing called love real hard for me
This thing called love is a God to me
And we all just got property
So feel free to fulfill the prophecy

Adam, Eve, apple trees
Watch out for the snakes baby
Open streets, ocean breeze
We should get away, baby

I'm in that 745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7:45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride?
Look into my eyes and told me "Daddy show you right"
745

745
Hope I can come scoop you up 'round 7:45
Slide 'round with my drop top up or down, you down to ride




Look me in my eyes and told me "Daddy show you right"

@Fengsuave_

I really don’t want to be disrespectful, but Jimmy Edgar made this beat. SOPHIE created so many bangers tho, what a queen

@kelvint03

Jimmy Edgar said in a post that he submitted the beat for 745 with SOPHIE after going to Disneyland with her. I bet when Jimmy hears song now, he'll be reminiscing his time with SOPHIE in Disneyland.
