Lyrics

Checks

[Verse 1: tropes]

Yeah, had to scram for a long time

I want it all back, I swear it's all mine

And I hear you talking shit on me online

Lots of people wanna talk shit, get in a long line

Get in a long line, and I abandon it

It's been a long time, and I want out of it

I think I might die before I face it

So I won't face it

[Chorus: tropes]

Straight to my head

I put it in

I wanted it

I'm full of it

Straight to my head

I put it in

I wanted it

I'm full of it

[Verse 2: bodyGaard]

(bodyGaard)

Rules are meant to bend

I can't help but think that's not what they recommend

Why should I still give a fuck, if it's all pretend?

I tried so hard for what? To be discontent [?]

I don't wanna bore you with an intro

Last I heard, you claiming that you my bro

Count your days, we tapping at your window

Bet you'll think again, we'rе spreading info

If I ever said that you'rе forgiven

Just know I'm kidding, you'll never fit in

And I can tell you that it's not without a reason

All the little shit that you do is so annoying

If it's on me, then you gon' copy

Move like copies, I'm moving calmly

Take it all in, straight to my head

[Chorus: tropes]

Straight to my head

I put it in

I wanted it

I'm full of it

Straight to my head

I put it in

I wanted it

I'm full of it
