YoungBoy Never Broke Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much pain in my body I've been like this too long
So much tryna stop me but I keep movin' on
I never give up I gotta keep it strong
Things ain't been going right
Take a risk and you gambling your life
Forever thuggin' on site
My heart cold at night
Take a risk and you gambling your life
Forever thuggin' on site
My heart cold at night
I was standing outside of the door, with Tyrell had stuck up the stove
Look at my eyes tell me what you see
Whole lotta pain you can't say that you don't
Give up on you I would say that I won't
A lotta people I had that to leave alone
Momma told that I'm going to jail
I ain't respond I just hang up the phone
Them niggas 'round you, they gon' change on you
How can you say that
The whole time I was locked in that cell
They was holding my back (no lie)
On everything that's a fact, I ain't never looking back
I ain't never going back, forever gon' run up that sack
Spit nothing but the truth when I spit on a track
Show my scars I do not where I hat
Baby Joe put that Draco to his back
Baby Joe put that Draco to his cap
That shit that you talkin' I tell you it's cap
Don't talk on that phone I know that it's tapped
Fuck jail I don't wanna go back
Fuck hell yeah I am living thru that
Need money take me to where is at
NBA, I put that on the map
Everyday they be in the trap
Death on me so I stay with a strap
It's gon' happen ain't no runnin' from that
Hope my son still grow up with a dad
I be scared real quick I get mad
I be scared, I don't do this for friends
Risk my life on my partna' care if it's right or wrong
So much pain in my body I've been like this too long
So much tryna stop me but I keep movin' on
I never give up I gotta keep it strong
Things ain't been going right
Take a risk and you gambling your life
Forever thuggin' on site
My heart cold at night
Things ain't been going right
Take a risk and you gambling your life
Forever thuggin' on site
My heart cold at night
I've been doing everything wrong
Drapped up with VVS stones
When I want Chanel I put it on
Caught the Bentayga puttin' on
Hop the Lamborghini and I'm gone
I didn't hit a lick fucking long
I was selling nicks in the Zone
I done ran it up my money long
I just speed race to the dollars
Got a Cuban link on my collar
Keep a plane AP on my wrist
I done already got rich
Got 20 chains in the vault
Put the dog food to my dawg
On Prometh' every single day
I don't ever have withdrawals
The streets they calling my name
Start gainin' a little fame
Drive these bitches insane
Most niggas gon' change
My niggas stay the same
Switching in and outta lanes
I just copped a new Range
Only drove it one time
Still thuggin' one time
Turn a seven to a dime
Whip the four in to a nine
Flawless diamonds gon' shine
Make a nigga go blind
I've been walkin' like a head light
Get a different head everynight
Gotta understand I love this life
Treat the five star hotel like some motherfuckin' projects
I recognize that I'm blessed
I'm very different from the rest
Put my niggas on jets
Just to motivate the thugs
Just to show the nigga love
Risk my life on my partna' care if it's right or wrong
So much pain in my body I've been like this too long
So much tryna stop me but I keep movin' on
I never give up I gotta keep it strong
Things ain't been going right
Take a risk and you gambling your life
Forever thuggin' on site
My heart cold at night
Things ain't been going right
Take a risk and you gambling your life
Forever thuggin' on site
My heart cold at night
