Want Me Dead Lyrics

[Chorus: Young Thug]
I told my brother, "Take this watch because I'm vulnerable"
I let her get away with murder when I fall in love
I told 'em, "Ante up the chips because they know it's us"
I told my niggas, "Fuck them niggas 'cause it's fuck us"
They want me dead, they want me dead
If I had one wish, I'd bring my niggas back from the dead
I'm sippin' codeine, this ain't no red, no
I'm up, but came from the struggle, duckin' red dots

[Verse 2: 21 Savage]
I keep that fire on me everywhere (21)
It's one nigga talk on the Internet, but when we turn on his block, he ain't never there (21)
All them lil' boys be tryna act gangster, that's why when they die, I don't ever care (21)
We in the middle of summer, but nigga, we steppin', this shit feel like February (Pussy)
Yellow diamonds, they canary (Pussy)
Came from the bottom and I made it to the other side, nah, I ain't use no ferry (Facts)
Opps be smokin' on niggas they ain't step on, them niggas funny, Jim Carrey (Straight up)
Stones in my ear, they VVS certified, bitch, I can hear you clearly (On God)
Big 4L, we ain't beefin' 'bout hoes, nigga, don't bring that shit near me (21)
Leave your phone when you step
I drop the bag, your secret is kept (21)
Opps cliqued up, they needed some help
Got too much money, I hired a chef
Get me mad enough, I do it myself (21)
Y'all niggas pussy, it's all on your breath (21)
Go against me, that shit bad for your health
Where he stand is the same place he left (21)

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
