Kill The Buddha – English Lyrics

• By: Marnz Malone

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven

When I awoke I spent that on a weapon

Got to thank God for my blessings, cus when it comes to chances this my second, this my third

Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh!

Got to make 'em feel my presence, I can't ease up off their necks

All that woofing on the net, he don't know he's the one thats next

You dont wanna see me vex, you know I'll pull it if you push me to

We call Shh social services cus thats who took the yute

These days, I be in Dior eating cheesecake

Astafrullah cuz bro we got him down and it was Eid day, felt like a gift from God when the law

Changed on my b-day

Driving down Freedom Street, I turn onto the freeway like look whos back, the one who wets

Guys with his moms knives, then puts it back

Bro I saw my darg I did time with, it took me back

Then I had a nightmare they took me back

Minnie taught me how to fish, I learned to swim with sharks that day

Back when all I wanted was one of them Shamballa chains, shit, I really had to sell draws to get

Them Jordan 4's, before school like Breakfast Club never met Charlamagne

She said can she take a picture in the sparkly chain, which one? They all dance like they went

To a party babes

I'll make a call theyll circle round like they cant find a parking space

Mop will make you rock like way back in the Paul McCartney days

What a shame, the games rigged, but Mubz said it first

You think I read whats on Reddit? I'm getting reddies first

& you can have your fire on you, its who's ready first, the boxing promotion is for Eddie Hearne

Don't let me burn

Ya Allah, please save me before I self destruct, he knows its his friends dad but he still sells him

Drugs

Folks was on the run they want him in a cell because he killed a nigga who rid to the block to

Post a selfie up

I showed them commitment, guess my love was insufficient, yucky tales thats too explicit

Chinged his eye you blinked you missed it

You're so inconsistent, how can I put trust in you? You know I made the streets my Mrs. none of

This was nothing new

Was cutting through the tape around the pack with something improvised

Bro, I aint ever lived a simple life my shorties mom is more famous than me, I might just go and

Watch her sing tonight

Who's colder than the Winter season? My name better Spring to mind

In injury time I scored the goal that made us lift the trophy up

Went nalla when you took it to the net, you coulda phoned me up

She gave me service on a Sunday I was like "Holy Fuck"

I weren't in debt when I said I.O.U, it means "Its Only Us"

I looked in the mirror, like "Are you my enemy?"

Men wid greenhouses taught me how to use my energy

Ironic, coz this carbon never came with emissions

And that collision was because I gave the word like a spelling bee

Need a Villa I can manage like im Unai Emery, and thats what I told Hus when we was parked

Outside the crib

He said "Stress is a privilege, just get it how you live" I know that I'ma bridge the gap but first I

Gotta find the bridge
