Dark Thoughts Lyrics Meaning by Lil Tecca
Know my *** so bad, you spend your cash on a *** you never had, yeah
Mama told me, “Boy, don’t last,” so I ain’t gon’ slide if that *** ain’t ’bout a bag, yeah
And my life changed so fast that I don’t even recognize myself from last year
Said she never needed no man, but when she with you, said she need somebody else
And I ain’t tryna add no pressure for you, I know that they all doin’ extra
She got dark thoughts, let me hear some, yeah, baby, I’ll be messed up for you
Said she wanted me to explore her now, baby, let me get a lil’ tour, yeah
And she got dark thoughts, let me hear some now, baby, I’ll be messed up for you

I get dark thoughts too, but I keep ’em
Shawty got a friend group of hoes, so I treesh ’em
All this ***, I keep it on the low, but I peep ’em
Nowadays, I’m stuck up in that mode, don’t need a re-up

Always got that cutter on me, let a *** creep up, yeah
Oh, they need a squad? They need to team up?
Yeah, ***, I feel like Scotty, got my beam up
