Tom MacDonald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's Tom Mac fucking Donald ya bitch
It might be brutal i might do this

Who tryna fuck with me
I don't think y'all should try
Pressin' your luck with me
I been in America, gun
Laws are different here
Headshots for days while I head
For a record deal
Who tryna get it, I got it
I'll bring it to them in their neighborhood
I been so faded I'll run
In their place and put
Guns in their mouths like my
Pistol been tastin' blood
Fuck are y'all talking 'bout? Fuck
Are y'all talking 'bout?
Knock both your eyeballs right out of
Your head and make you
Chem them to make sure that
You watch your mouth
Who been startin' the rumors? Which
One is startin' the rumors?
I'll put the rumors to rest
Like they up past their
Bedtime and the house is full
Of some grown ups

I run it, I run it, I run
It, I run it, I run it, i run it
I'm in the belly of the beast and I'm
Making this bitch feel sick to her stomach
I run it, I run it, I run
It, I run it, I run it, i run it
Life is a bitch so I fuck the
World, but she just my sidechick
I'm married to money

I feel invincible
You can't see me like I just went invisible
None of you rappers are in
The same class as me
Y'all are still learning and
I am the principal
Everyone chill, I ain't makin' friends
Since I been out in LA
Again everyone hittin' me up
Like "hey man, how's it
Going? it's been years
Let's go have a drink or ten"
No, Imma do this on my own, Imma go
Surfing all day then Snapchat some bitches
Get tit's on my phone
I run it, I run it, I run
It, I run it, I run it, i run it
I told you already
Your girl is CIA that means she fed me
I been in your crib a lot
You never met me though
Who wanna try me? I'll go get the
Shotgun like y'all are beside me
I'll kill 'em with kindness so
Y'all can die smilin'
Then I'll die laughing murder-suicide it
Who's startin' the rumors? Which one
Is letting the rumors fly?
I'm done with the gossip cause I wanna live
And everything do or die
I been so chill and ignoring the women
That make me my dinner though
Except for my mom
We were just talking on Skype a lil bit ago
My girlfriend from Beverly Hills
We just rescued a kitten
I don't even have a punchline to follow that
I just wanted to say it for the bitches
I run it, I run it, I run
It, I run it, I run it, i run it
And I don't care if you're waiting on me to
Stop saying that shit or
Start runnin' with something
I run it, I run it, I run
It, I run it, I run it, i run it
I'm tired of rapping on this beat or writing
Down anymore metaphors, similes
Witty one liners, i'm good
No really I'm good, just got out of the hood
I just got linked up with people in Compton
Who'll put you five feet plus a foot
Man, I'm so good on this, I'm on fire
Put some wood on this
I'm higher than people in heaven
Shoutout to Lennon I'm good on this




I run it, I run it, I run
It, I run it, I run it, i run it
