Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want real love, I've been lonely for a minute
She broke my heart and made me regret it
I've been counting up the times you lied, but you forget it
I've been letting these hoe's on my mind, I shouldn't let it
My head been turning like a fucking CD
I was in the booth spitting cool, you should've seen me
My speed be coming fast, you can call me BT
Hook came cold, really it's freezing
I just want real love, I've been lonely for a minute
She broke my heart and made me regret it
I've been counting up the times you lied, but you forget it
I've been letting these hoe's on my mind, I shouldn't let it
My head been turning like a fucking CD
I was in the booth spitting cool, you should've seen me
My speed be coming fast, you can call me BT
Hook came cold, really it's freezing
Love, what is the meaning
Fakes can show you it but it can still be appealing
And I've been tryna ball every season
But the fakes and snakes hate for no reason
If you love me would you die
If I passed would you cry
Twist the words and turn to lies
Cos you say you love me but it's not in your eyes
A four letter word, it was right for the wrong one
I really wanted you, I'm better on my lonesome
How many times did you make my heart run
Hundreds of kilometres can't breathe in my own lungs
Showed you my heart and you left it bleeding
Showed you my home, you turned off the heating
Took pieces from me while I was sleeping
I love fast like I'm speeding
I just want real love, I've been lonely for a minute
She broke my heart and made me regret it
I've been counting up the times you lied, but you forget it
I've been letting these hoe's on my mind, I shouldn't let it
My head been turning like a fucking CD
I was in the booth spitting cool, you should've seen me
My speed be coming fast, you can call me BT
Hook came cold, really it's freezing
I just want real love, I've been lonely for a minute
She broke my heart and made me regret it
I've been counting up the times you lied, but you forget it
I've been letting these hoe's on my mind, I shouldn't let it
My head been turning like a fucking CD
I was in the booth spitting cool, you should've seen me




My speed be coming fast, you can call me BT
Hook came cold, really it's freezing
