Ain't No Love
gbg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swear when I was broke I was with all of the foolery
Living in the hood, leave the house a legal tool on me
He asked me if I drink i told him not broski im cool lowkey
Cutting down on weed I seen that high just wasn't good for me
I was addicted to the tabs and addicted to the ecstasy
Told my mom i do not need a doctor just be proud of me
Stop listening to demons and I listened to my family
Said i want a jeep she told me son go make that cash repeat

We stayed going to the parties messed up making illegal bags move
Balling hard like kobe copying mike with a post move
Know it's time for new zapatos means it's time for new shoes
If you ain't here to help me then it time for you to go dude

It's not about the money and it's not about the fame
It's all about my homies who just trying to play they game
It's all about my people who just trying to make a change
And the ones who do not give a care bout what they got to say
They said if you gon live yo life then its gon be on stage
I read up to a new chapter because I flipped the page
Flipped the script on the fake ones cause they dont be who we think
I quit all of the alcohol I poured out all my drank
I came home from that college and i stopped selling that dank
Then i Switched my swag to the ways from where i came
And i had all the support and then I made em feel my pain
This is my life so ima live it till im sane

Swear when I was broke I was with all of the foolery
Living in the hood, leave the house a legal tool on me
He asked me if I drink i told him not broski im cool lowkey
Cutting down on weed I seen that high just wasn't good for me
I was addicted to the tabs and addicted to the ecstasy
Told my mom i do not need a doctor just be proud of me
Stop listening to demons and I listened to my family
Said i want a jeep she told me son go make that cash repeat

We stayed going to the parties messed up making illegal bags move
Balling hard like kobe copying mike with a post move
Know it's time for new zapatos means it's time for new shoes
If you ain't here to help me then it time for you to go dude

Them niggas tried to tell me that i was out of my mind
Out there looking for myself that shit was hard to find
Confid myself in drugs and then in a new life a crime
My momma made me up wake sent them shivers down my spine
Realized i was losing had to recreate my grind
Changed my mindset to me living from me dying




They asked me if i'm ok and i always said im fine
I wanna wanna make a billion and i don't care if its dimes
