Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I told you that I want you
Told you that I need you
Ain't no one above you
Girl I'm feigning just to please You, you know I
And I told you that I want you
Told you that I need you
Ain't no one above you
Girl I'm feigning just to please You
You know I need you
Why you wanna walk out my Life?
Said that you'll be here when the Sun don't shine
They say once beaten baby twice As shy
I don't know what that means
But I need you in my life baby Come my side
And that I know i'm a bad boy I'm doing all these wrongs
Pick up the note pad and I write my wrongs
Little mama on my mind while I Write this song
Baby you know what I'm on i Told those lies
Cos I ain't wanna ruin nothing
But something led to another Thing
Now I'm in my room
Thinking bout these memories
Thinking bout these memories
Yah man I'm just thinking about These memories
Thinking bout these memories
Thinking bout these memories
Let's leave that for another day
Now I'm with my guys and we've Come a long way
Sitting by the road side sipping On a cold sprite
Then we have conversations About this cruel life
Like how do we live a life just to Leave a life
Mehn I'm hurting all these lies That I been through
I just want the money then I Could fly high
Pull up With my guys in the sky We say bye bye
Take another one and you know It's a vibe
Take out the cup got me feeling Alright
But if I take to much baby
I might fly tonight yeah nigga we Don't know
We don't know oh nigga we Don't know
If I take one nigga we don't Know
And I told you that I want you (Told you that I)
And I told you that I need you (Told you that I)
Ain't no one above you




Girl I'm feigning girl I'm feigning Just yo please you
You know I need you
