Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Purple clouds fillin' up the air tonight

She ain't callin', she feel it in the air tonight

She pullin' on my chain at the crib tonight

Call me Superman, she my kryptonite

Looked me in my eyes, and she said, "You're the one I believe in"

Told her to give me somethin' put my weed in

Light it up, let it rise like a genie

She think she need me

Don't be afraid, know just what you better than

She went and popped two and left no evidence

In her letterman, psycho she ever been (uh)

I'm on her head, she gotta let me in

I'm doin' drugs, I'm back again

It's hard to tell the truth in a life of sin

I guess I really loved, I guess I really did

I'm losin' all my faith in you, in you

Purple clouds fillin' up the air tonight

She ain't callin', she feel it in the air tonight

She pullin' on my chain at the crib tonight

Call me Superman, she my kryptonite

...

I got you what you need, I need you on your knees

I'm beggin', baby (please, ah-ah-ah)

I'm hot, hunnid degrees, pull up like a biker, know a - geeked

I spend time on this medicine, I'm gone off the leash, shawty gone in my sheets

Yeah, my sheets, comin' right down that highway

- lit like it's Broadway, she guzzlin' down the lean, I got her with me

I told her this is for (ever)

Don't get caught up, baby, damn, keep it on fleek

Treat her panties like a Rover (I pull 'em over, ah-ah-ah)

I let her eat it on the sofa, I don't even know her (ah-ah-ah)

I got you what you need, I need you on your knees (ah-ah-ah)

I'm beggin', baby (please, ah-ah-ah)

I'm hot, hunnid degrees, pull up like a biker, know a - geeked

I spend time on this medicine, I'm gone off the leash, shawty gone in my sheets

Yeah, my sheets, comin' right down that highway

- lit like it's Broadway, she guzzlin' down the lean, I got her with me

Now, do that sound like me?

Do that sound like me?
