Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did it all by myself
I was down bad I ain’t had no help
We gone wake em up fuck the people that slept
Best kept secret time to take him off the shelf
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Did it all by myself
I was down bad I ain’t had no help
We gone wake em up fuck the people that slept

Best kept secret time to take him off the shelf
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oooaaawwhhh
I’m a real nigga, never sell my soul
Ok, look
I was in the trenches
Fucking up the dishes
Love I was missing
Love- I was missing yeah
Had a couple women but the loyalty was never there
I cut off them bitches now they begging me
To love and care
No
Ex fucked up shouldn’t of let me go
Why you let me go?
See me coming up Now all these bitches wanna fuck
They wanna get me for my bucks I swear that bitch won’t get a buck
Ain’t no fusion in my heart but it was built Ford tough
I Treat my jeans like build a bear I keep them bitches stuffed
Did it all by myself

We gone wake em up fuck the people that slept
Best kept secret time to take him off the shelf
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Did it all by myself
I was down bad I ain’t had no help

We gone wake em up fuck the people that slept
Best kept secret time to take him off the shelf
