NYFW
j $ensei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl what you on the fence for
Even made it to the finsta
Told me that you wasn't in love
What the fuck I told my friends for
Ain't nothing to make sense of
You stupid, that's the end all
Gave you love then you dipped off
Ain't even meet the in-laws
Lesson learned this time
Never let a girl explore my mind, again, ay
Why the fuck you keep me on the side
I was doing right
And she fine
Dressed like fashion week
But it's not NY
Yuh,
Wasted my time
Stress that you gave, years off my life
Now that I'm up you hit me again, but I wont reply
Aint say goodbye you just had left into the night
Probably to run back with that wasteman every time
Uh, this is a warrior's cry
Tears that shed at night
Not for just you but the way of life
Could've been the lonely star
Could've had the jewels, the sex, the house, and the keys to my car
But you left it all
Don't do me like that on god
Got my boys involved
Brujeria girl, you casting spells on god
Mama be ashamed of you
All the things that I gave for you
And the road that I paved for you
I never changed on you
Lesson learned this time
Never let a girl explore my mind, again, ay
Why the fuck you keep me on the side
I was doing right
And she fine




Dressed like fashion week
But it's not NY

He describes his tears shed at night as a warrior's cry, expressing the pain he feels for not only the girl but also the way of life he had hoped for.
