Lyrics of whats it gon take? by Destroy Lonely
[Chorus]
I’m Too Locked In, Missin’ All My Niggas (My Niggas)
I Can’t Lie, Need To Call My Dawgs (My Dawgs)
I Love My Gang And I Love My B**ch (My B**ch)
I’ll Type “Type Shit” When You Poppin’ It Off (Poppin’ It Off)
Outside, Trippin’, Gotta Ride With The Stick (Ride With The Stick)
With A Top-notch Vibe, She Keep Singin’ My Songs (Singin’ My Songs)
Drank On Me, I Can’t Leave It Alone (Leave It Alone)
Mixin’ The Swag, I Can’t, Nah, Nah (Can’t, Nah, Nah)
Weed And Money My Favourite Cologne (My Favourite Cologne)
I Ain’t Gotta Ask, I Know She On Go (Know She On Go)
Crib Got A Pool, You Can Swim If You Want (Swim If You Want)
Fallin’ Asleep With My Chains All On Me (My Chains All On Me)
Fallin’ Asleep With This Cash All On Me (This Cash All On Me)
Fallin’ Asleep With This Swag All On Me (The Swag All On Me)
Fallin’ Asleep With A Bad B**ch On Me (Bad B**ch On Me)
I’m Way Too High, The Cup Still On Me (Still On Me)
[Verse]
Play With The Stick, I’m Not That Lonely (Not That Lonely)
I’m Countin’ 10K Cash, You Know Me (You Know Me)
She In A Trance, She Can’t Let Go Of Me (Can’t Let Go Of Me)
Lost All My Mind, Can You Please Just Hold Me? (Please Just Hold Me)
Can You Please Just Hold Me? (Please Just Hold Me)
Codeine, Please, Just Hear Me
Let Me Know If You Hear Me (Let Me Know)
Let Me Know If You Hear Me, Let Me Know (Let Me Know)
What’s It Gon’ Take To Get Through To You? I Don’t Know (Woah)
