Allan Kingdom

I pull up in that thing and leave you breathless
The velvet on the seat against you thighs
A couple magazines, I feel protected
Baby, can you read between the lines?
I pull up in that thing and leave you breathless
The velvet on the seat against you thighs
A couple magazines, I feel protected
Baby, can you read between the lines?

I been around a couple continents, about every state
Would you be down if I was hungry, would you make me a plate?
I been surrounded by the glitter and the gold of the game
Turned around back to the gutter 'cause I can't do the fake
Split my dollar with my brother, he still turned to a snake
Used to fall for all my lovers, now I fall in my place
Used to want all of the glory and the riches and fame
I still want all of that shit but not for your validation
Rather read a book and cook over good conversation
Rather be a crook than be a broke nigga hatin'

I don't ever gotta sugarcoat my appreciation
For a baddie in the passenger to slurp all my pain away, oh woah, hey, hey

I pull up in that thing and leave you breathless
The velvet on the seat against you thighs
A couple magazines, I feel protected
Baby, can you read between the lines?
I pull up in that thing and leave you breathless
The velvet on the seat against you thighs
A couple magazines, I feel protected
Baby, can you read between the lines?

Baby, can you finally read 'em? A flower from the cement
Now you see my collar freezing, will you devour semen?
I know you thought I was conscious, but girl, I'm not a deacon
Niggas unemployment schemin', just for a pot to pee in
I'm shining niggas watching my pockets, them honkeys lookin' at me like Gadaffi, black Wall Street
Do you copy?
When you poppin' they gon tryna freeze your growth
Making profit, ain't a boss less, you gonna teach your folks
Whip around the block, let's take a vacation
No, I'm not a hero, I'm just a brotha with patience

I don't ever gotta sugarcoat my appreciation
For a baddie in the passenger to slurp all my pain away, oh woah, hey, hey

I pull up in that thing and leave you breathless
The velvet on the seat against you thighs
A couple magazines, I feel protected
Baby, can you read between the lines?
I pull up in that thing and leave you breathless
The velvet on the seat against you thighs
A couple magazines, I feel protected
Baby, can you read between the lines?

Yeah, you gotta read between the lines
Shit, what I say?
The media, if it's making you feel something, it's working
It's doing what it's supposed to do
So just think about that before you feel something
'Cause when you feel something you do something
