Xololanxinxo Lyrics

Last night I should have died
The singer expresses that they should have died last night

To the hand of a best friend...
The singer is suggesting that their best friend was responsible for their potential death

He held a gun that was mine
The singer reveals that their best friend had their gun in their possession

And said we'd meet some women in a hotel
The best friend and the artist had plans to meet women in a hotel

And left me there to die
The best friend left the artist in the hotel room to die

He stopped by my mothers house on his way home
The best friend stopped by the singer's mother's house on their way home

Cried with her for an hour
The best friend spent an hour crying with the singer's mother

And left some money for my funeral
The best friend left some money for the artist's funeral

He held my moms tight
The best friend hugged the artist's mother tightly

And said god bless his soul
The best friend prayed for the artist's soul

But guess what?
The singer uses this rhetorical question to introduce their survival as a surprise

I didn't die
The artist reveals that they did not die

I guess you didn't expect to see me so soon
The singer suggests that their best friend did not expect them to survive

Pleading my absence to the dark side of the moon
The singer uses this metaphor to describe their best friend's reaction to their supposed death

What about everything I helped you through?
The singer questions their best friend about all the times they helped him

Fuck that
The artist is rejecting their best friend's excuses

We were deeper more just like brothers
The artist suggests that their friendship run deeper than just being best friends

You left me suffering in a hotel room
The singer blames their best friend for abandoning them in the hotel room

Bleeding and unconscious excepting that I met my doom
The singer describes the state they were in, believing they were about to die

And still you turned and I remember you
The artist is recounting that their best friend betrayed them

The tears they burn
The artist is emotional and hurt by what happened

There's no forgiving you
The artist declares that they cannot forgive their best friend

I loved you like my own blood
The singer affirms their love for their best friend

Trusted you in my home
The artist reiterates their trust in their best friend

Was that not enough?
The singer questions whether their trust and friendship was not enough

I know that times were rough
The singer acknowledges that their friendship went through tough times

But only together could we stay tough
The singer suggests that only by supporting each other were they able to endure the difficult times

Back to back is how we bust
The artist implies that they and their best friend stick together, like in movie scenes

I remember when we were seventeen
The artist reminisces on a memory they shared with their best friend from their teenage years

Cornered in an alley way
The memory was of an encounter in an alleyway

I sacrificed my parents van
The singer reveals that they had to sacrifice their parents' van to get away from the situation in the alleyway

Just to help us get away
The artist did it to help them both escape

We almost died that day
The artist recalls how dangerous the situation was

I'd give my life I'd say
The artist affirms their devotion to their best friend

But for some money that we could have split
The singer suggests that their best friend betrayed them for money

You ride me
The artist uses this slang to suggest that their best friend exploited their trust and betrayed them

And with some honeys major hit
The singer implies that their best friend was with other women, spending money that could have been shared with the singer

But like always
The singer suggests that their best friend was always selfish, putting himself first

Didn't unload the clip
The singer implies that their best friend did not have the courage to kill them

It was your woman that helped me place this bid
The artist reveals that their best friend's woman helps the artist to get back at the best friend

Pick up your face you bitch
The artist taunts and curses their best friend

Your lucky that you have kids
The singer acknowledges that their best friend has children to care for

Or I would fill you up with this lead
The singer suggests that they would have killed their best friend if they didn't have children

While I was pistol whipping his head
The artist describes how they were physically abusing their best friend at that moment

You stupid fool
The artist insults their best friend again

Kill me you tried to prize from my demise
The artist suggests that their best friend tried to kill them

Now look who's in your eyes
The singer suggests that the tables have turned and they now have power over their best friend

Now look who's getting what
The artist suggests that their best friend is getting what they deserve

Its over!
The singer declares the end of their best friend's power over them

Never again
The singer implies that they will never trust their best friend again

Never again
The singer repeats this for emphasis

You lost your one friend
The artist tells their best friend that they have lost their friendship

Your only brother
The artist suggests that their friendship was like a brotherhood

Motherfucker
The singer insults their best friend one last time

You know this rage came over me
The singer describes the intense emotion that they are feeling

You know this rage came over me
The artist repeats this for emphasis
