Sunset
joy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is sunset drippin', this is wood-grain grippin'
This is pretty paint sippin', this is big bank pimpin'
This is ain't nobody trippin', this is whole team chillin'
This is home team winnin', this is stay up out your feelings
Mother fucker
This is straight to the bank, this is cut the whole cake
While we laugh the whole way
I'm the baddest apple made it out the basket been a shifty little bastard
Since I got up off my ass and got the most up out my day
And I feel some type of way, just poured some bourbon in my cup
Been swervin', fuck up out my way
A-OK, can't nobody cut me off 'cuz I've been paving my own lane
I'm outer space
Man I'm really so amazed by all the monsters that I slayed
That's why my cup so cold and my music so loud
Can't nobody turn me down, nah
See I just took a different route, it's obvious, it's paramount
To trust yourself 'cuz can't nobody tell you what this life's about
And we're all just coming from a place that we don't really wanna stay
Mother fuckers do the most for some minimum wage
Then they wonder why we get our hands dirty making moves to get paid
And we all just wanna be somebody we could love
Make the most out what we got, even if it's out the mud
Why we swing for the fences, 'cuz you only live it once
This is sunset drippin', this is wood-grain grippin'
This is pretty paint sippin', this is big bank pimpin'
This is ain't nobody trippin', this is whole team chillin'
This is home team winnin', this is stay up out your feelings
Mother fucker
This is straight to the face, this is faded all day
'Cuz we came along way
Paint a picture like Picasso, I'mma do this shit colossal
I stay drippin' like the faucet, got the plumber on the way
I stay dodgin' all the bullshit like a matador ole
Like I'm surfing by myself, bitch I'm riding my own wave
I just popped another tablet I ain't talkin' 'bout no gadgets
Since I hopped up out that casket things ain't never been the same
I just popped another tablet I ain't talkin' 'bout no gadgets
Since I hopped up out that casket things ain't never been the same




Should've stuck with them scholarships, can't believe the kid dropped out
I ain't good with establishments so I knew I had to go all out
