Honeybun Lyrics by LeoStayTrill
[Intro]
(Leo)
[Verse 1]
Who’s that? Skin tone same colour as honeybun
Spit game to the girl, man, hurry up
Fuck that, man, I’m really on a money run
I don’t know love, come show me what it’s really ’bout
I’m a young dark nigga from the Silly South
Afro boy, but she came from the islands
Now she got me all up in my crib doing Billy Bounce
Two-two-two girls, are they twins or besties?
That body impress me, but she talk too much, don’t stress me
Don’t let me touch my pinnacle
Stay trill, man, I really been original
Don’t come up on my silly being cynical
Really get cut from the cord, umbilical
First-f-f-first off, skrrt off in a Benz
I don’t really need a friend
I ain’t following a trend, all thesе other boys dead
She said shе will never be the Barbie to my Ken
Don’t know my she being popped, she can never be a ten
Fuck, racks, man, I’m tryna get plenty
Been, been said I want a mill’ by twenty
Proved all of the paigons wrong, now my uncle sayin’ I’m a well-known MC
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, you don’t wanna see Trill go loco
She asked, “Do you love me?” So-so
She a model making money off promo
Her manners extinct, Dodo (Huh)
Now I got her mind in a chokehold
Need a whole lot of money, need a boatload
Bring a friend for the bro-bro, sticking to the bro-code, bitch
[Verse 2]
If we’re going on a two man step, my boy 6’1″ so I take the shorter one
Slide me the— slide me the number, might just call her once
Battery’s fucked, so I might just order one
Want an LV bag? Bro can source her one
Head gets hot like I left the sauna on
T-tell him that— tell him that his watch ain’t icy, chain ain’t icy, copped the colder one
D-D-Deja, get silly with it
Let’s drip to the card, got a milli in it
Who flocked at the scene? Young Trilly did it
I ain’t call, need me in a silly minute
R-Real talk, man you wouldn’t wanna miss this
Got a couple MCs on my hitlist
Fuck, my bad, I know it ain’t Christmas, but I got a real bad B on my wishlist
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, you don’t wanna see Trill go loco
She asked, “Do you love me?” So-so
She a model making money off promo
Her manners extinct, Dodo (Huh)
Now I got her mind in a chokehold
Need a whole lot of money, need a boatload
Bring a friend for the bro-bro, sticking to the bro-code, bitch
[Outro]
Who’s that? Skin tone same colour as honeybun
Spit game to the girl, man, hurry up
Fuck that, fuck that, money run
I don’t know love, come show me what it’s really ’bout
Really ’bout, really ’bout, really ’bout, really ’bout
Afro boy, but she came from the islands
Now she got me, Billy Bounce, Billy Bounce (Fuck that)
