lyrics

They caught a vibe
I wasn’t feeling it
Put the pressure on my back
I went and sat in it
Put it into words
We all the same like synonyms
Taste gettin' salty
I miss the sweet life, cinnamon

Put it on my back
Put it on my back
Seen him on a stretcher
Tried to run off with that sack
Street life gettin' old
Knew I wouldn’t goin' back

Bitches changin' every season
Still waited to turn my back
Dice games in the streets
You lose, they take you off the map
Slur your words, she think you cheatin'
You kno it’s cap, cap
Cut her off, she think she bad, bad

Back to back like Jordan 96, 97
Front to front, I’m facing my demons
Talkin' to my reverend
Ohh I miss the bros
Ohh she at my shows

Still don’t want no sorries
Bitch you gotta go
Still don’t got my medal
I know I’m the goat
Still don’t want no shawty
Pointed at the door
Like bitch you gotta go
Ain't no room in my heart
I know it’s getting cold

They caught a vibe
I wasn’t feeling it
Put the pressure on my back
I went and sat in it
Put it into words
We all the same like synonyms
Taste gettin' salty
I miss the sweet life, cinnamon

They caught a vibe
I wasn’t feeling it
Put the pressure on my back
I went and sat in it
Put it into words
We all the same like synonyms
Taste gettin' salty
I miss the sweet life, cinnamon

Cinematic love my life just been a movie
Turn the lights off
I’m getting groovy
This that 90s love
The one that smile
Crackin' jokes and feeling goofy

You can bring your friends
But I don’t fuck wit groupies
I would bring a blunt
But it would make me moody
Yeah you been actin' choosy
Yeah if it was up to me
You wouldn’t choose me
Truthfully, truthfully yeah

If I’m speakin' honest
You would just lose me
Sticks and stones
They break my bones
You ain't bruise me

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I’m on the radio
Momma proud I know

Back when I was at my low
I knew I’d be a great
Like a butterfly, I float
Coast to coast
I said let me drive the boat
She know I always do the most
Never did it for the post

They caught a vibe
I wasn’t feeling it
Put the pressure on my back
I went and sat in it
Put it into words
We all the same like synonyms
Taste gettin' salty
I miss the sweet life, cinnamon

They caught a vibe
I wasn’t feeling it
Put the pressure on my back
I went and sat in it
Put it into words
We all the same like synonyms
Taste gettin' salty
I miss the sweet life, cinnamon
