Clouds
Yo Trane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting "faded" and I'm not even proud no
I just came to see you drop it to the floor, baby
I hit the blunt and now I'm up in the clouds
Baby, you know, you know, you know that you're fine, yeah
Baby, you know, you know you're gonna put it down on a nigga like me
And I'll reward you
Til the break of dawn I'll take you up to the clouds
Rocking no designer clothes I'm bumping Gucci in the ride
Doing things that kill me I just celebrate being alive
Bout to spend my money I can't take it with me when I die
Girl, you're sweet as honey you'd turn a straight woman into a "dyke"
And I bet that "ass" is fake but I
Still throw ones on it I don't mind no
As long as you pop it like a 9 though
I'm seeing double can't you tell that I'm on one though
I swear I never kiss and tell let's cross the line, yeah
I am not the same when I'm drunk, baby
I'm getting "faded" and I'm not even proud no
I just came to see you drop it to the floor, baby
I hit the blunt and now I'm up in the clouds
Baby, you know, you know, you know that you're fine, yeah
Baby, you know, you know you're gonna put it down on a nigga like me
And I'll reward you
Til the break of dawn I'll take you up to the clouds
Told her girl you gotta show that you want it
Take them panties off and wrap your legs around me
Fenty Fenty shirt and she's from the island
Pretty pretty curves and she's going wild yea
I don't drink "promethazine"
Press and magazines never showed me love I had a euro and a dream
Nigga I do it for my momma, yeah
Family came from the bottom, yeah
African born I'm a lion, yeah
I keep it real like a diamond, yeah
I be in Paris my niggas get kitty
Like Tory and Milly I'm grinding, yeah
I'm finna buy me a truck
I'm kidding I don't give a "fuck" about it, yeah
Been laying low key cause a "nigga" don't do crowds no
And I get "faded" when I'm puffing on that "loud", yeah
I am not the same when I'm drunk, baby
I'm getting "faded" and I'm not even proud no
I just came to see you drop it to the floor, baby
I hit the blunt and now I'm up in the clouds
Baby, you know, you know, you know that you're fine, yeah
Baby, you know, you know you're gonna put it down on a nigga like me
And I'll reward you
Til the break of dawn I'll take you up to the clouds
