Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the spot, ay woo
I'm in the spot, ay woo
I'm in the spot, ay woo
I'm in the spot, ay woo
I'm in the spot, faded
I cannot stop, dangerous
Two in the cone, face it
Straight to the top, A-list

I'm in the spot, faded
I cannot stop, dangerous
Two in the cone, face it
Straight to the top, A-list
I gotta get it and go, don’t wanna talk on the phone (Talk on the phone)
I'm 'bout to drown in the flow, I gotta get me a boat (Get me a boat)
I was just on my way home, I never been here before (Been here before)
Not scared of burning a bridge, I'd rather swim in the moat (Swim in the moat)
400 grams in the safe, I gotta find an escape
Tare on a digital scale, that make the number erase (Make it erase)
I'm really duckin' from 12, I'm on the way to the bank (Way to the bank)
I done seen heaven and hell, don’t really know what to think
I'm on the verge of something
Can’t really go for nothing
I'm laying low in public
I'm in the booth with substance
You want the truth, it's ugly
She hit my line, I'm coming
Get out my ear, you bug me
I got some fears, they hug me
Rather be feared than lovely
Maybe on tour with Lucki
I write a rap disgusting
I know I had this coming
I can’t retract for nothing
I made it back with luggage
Open my mouth, she love me
Don’t wanna talk, it's touchy
Hate being sad, it's often
Circle is small, I'm croppin'
She think I’m cold, I'm coffin
No, I'm not dead, I'm almost
Russian roulette revolver
Russian roulette revolver
I'm in the spot, faded
I cannot stop, dangerous
Two in the cone, face it
Straight to the top, A-list
I'm in the spot, faded
I cannot stop, dangerous
Two in the cone, face it
Straight to the top, A-list
Can't feel my, can’t feel my face I feel numb
I made a promise that I’d quit the drugs
Where is the, where is the, where is the love
One day I’ll get there, I can’t get enough
Can't feel my, can’t feel my face I feel numb
I made a promise that I’d quit the drugs
Where is the, where is the, where is the love
One day I’ll get there, I can’t get enough
Where is the, where is the, face I feel numb
Where is the, where is the, I’d quit the drugs
Where is the, where is the, where is the love
Where is the, where is the, can’t get enough
Where is the, where is the, face I feel numb
Where is the, where is the, I’d quit the drugs

Where is the, where is the, where is the love
Where is the, where is the, can’t get enough
