The Vice
Medsound & Yota Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know how to do it, oh yeah, mm-hm
Sure
Yeah, sure

I'm on my own

I'm on my own, don't need your game
I'm on my own

I'm on my own, don't need your game

Don't need your game, don't need your game
I'm running by a feat to get the chance to change me
It's gotta be real, it's gotta be real
To show that you're new here best to put the phone in

Just like a vice
I won't be nice
I won't be bad
I won't be good
But I'll make it right
I'll make it right

I'll make it right

It's gotta be real (it's gotta be real)
It's gotta be real (it's gotta be real)

Just like a vice
I won't be nice
I won't be bad
I won't be good
But I'll make it right
I'll make it right

Just like a vice
I won't be nice
I won't be bad
I won't be good
But I'll make it right
I'll make it right

It's gotta be real (it's gotta be real)

It's gotta be real (it's gotta be real)

Just like a vice
I won't be nice
I won't be bad
I won't be good
But I'll make it right
I'll make it right





I'll make it right
