Overdose
m1v Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told you long ago
A text, that I don't need her
Paparazzi on my t-shirt

I told you long ago
That I been out my way
Hold you tight in my arms
Whenever I decay

I got racks on me
Party till the end of me
I got enemies
They don't want the best for me

I got racks on me
Party till the end of me
I got enemies
They don't want the best for me

I told you long ago
A text, that I don't need her
Paparazzi on my t-shirt

I told you long ago
That I been out my way
Hold you tight in my arms
Whenever I decay

I told you long ago
That I been out my way
Hold you tight in my arms
Whenever I decay

Rise up
I been fucking with my own
I don't hide no more
Fuck your tone

Rise up
I been fucking with my own
I don't hide no more
Fuck your tone

I told you long ago
That I been out my way




Hold you tight in my arms
Whenever I decay
