Higher Power
avelino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Canβ€²t come with no weak stuff
Grown out of that "grew up on the streets" stuff
Life is a bitch, mine turned into a diva
Why you think it's five figures for a feature? (For a feature)

I just wanna find God for this god flow
Yeah, find God, Iβ€²m in control
Yeah, young lion up in Denmark
Yeah, no wait, I'm in Oslo
Yeah, can't believe that we travellinβ€²
We was refugees, let the talent in
Yeah, all my Gs never had a thing
My nigga, all I want is Ms, itβ€²s embarrassing
Yeah

And I sure feel shallow
I'm only human, got the Cuban, now Iβ€²m Castro
A presidential residential when I'm back home
β€²Cause I was thinking 'bout the future on the back throws
Now itβ€²s mad shows every time I do a set
I remember tryna con the connect
Sometimes I put my jewels on and reflect
I'm next up, I don't know what happens next
Yeah

Canβ€²t come with no weak stuff
Grown out of that "grew up on the streets" stuff
Life is a bitch, mine turned into a diva
Why you think itβ€²s five figures for a feature? (For a feature)

Just had a drink, I'm on a wave
Kinda turned up when I turn up on the stage
Pay the price, now I pay myself a wage
I was shot into nitties, got addicted to the game
Do this for the money, not the fame, I swear
Mamma knows the bars but she hates when I swear
I ainβ€²t goin' nowhere even though Iβ€²ve gone clear
I'm a family man, man, the family love it when Iβ€²m there

More time I'm abroad
That's more time to broaden my horizon of course
Django, pull up like Iβ€²m riding a horse
Damn, bro, a niggaβ€²s really driving a Porsche
Came up, suicide with the doors
Living like a legend, I would die for the cause
Heart on my sleeve, and my mind in my drawers
I'ma meet my maker in design at the door

Fresh to death, too blessed to ever stress
Success, Iβ€²m obsessed with you and all the rest
Got the TEC protectin' the Patek
And itβ€²s bulletproof love for my nigga, he's in a vest
I ainβ€²t gotta win the lottery, I won a lot
I'm already ready for the twist in the plot
They'll try and top you when they see you at the top

Canβ€²t come with no weak stuff
Grown out of that "grew up on the streets" stuff




Life is a bitch, mine turned into a diva
Why you think itβ€²s five figures for a feature? (For a feature)
