Away
Yeek Yeek Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got some tattoos this year
My mama don't like it
She said I drink too much beer
"Take your probiotics"
I met a chick last year
I think she's psychotic
She got me way too in my feels lately
Now I'm off it

I want to smoke
Smoke & feel no pain
I want to drink...
Thoughts of you away

Kombucha
Third Eye Chai
Grass-fed meat
With a little brown rice
If a bad stomach's a reflection of depression
I need my girl to feed me right
Not feed my sadness or starve my life

I want to smoke
Smoke & feel no pain

I want to drink...
Thoughts of you away
