Meridian Lyrics – Dave ft. Tiakola (English)
Meridian Lyrics (English)
[Intro: Dave]
I was outside, had a pretty girl and a fast car, I was twenty-one
I ain't just anyone
Better talk to me nicely and you know the weapon on me, or it's on my best friend
When I'm in the West End
[Verse 1: Dave & Tiakola]
I had a wish, God knows I wouldn't believe
When I was a kid (When I was a kid)
What do you want? If you wanna leave, there's plenty of fish
And I know the bullet that kills, it comes with a kiss
It's just how it is, like, oh, oh, oh (Enough time wasted, baby)
Enough time wasted, baby
We gotta make money, baby
I've been looking for money done quickly
Enough time wasted here (Enough time)
Enough time wasted, baby
Since the house doesn't lend
I had to look for the money done quickly
[Refrain: Tiakola]
Enough waiting, give us the envelope
I have business waiting for me seven-eight hours of flight away, eh
I advise you to be careful if you get carried away
I carry my best friend under my jeans if I see you crash me
[Chorus: Dave & Tiakola]
Jesu Aleselewi (Vuitton, Balenciaga)
Mek I travel overseas (Jamaica, Copacabana)
Had a dream, I had a dream (Martin Luther or Obama)
That my family was free (Offer them Dolce Gabbana)
No sabi? Ola plenty (Enjoy all tomorrows)
Wednesday to Friday (Vuitton, Balenciaga)
Jesu Aleselewi (Martin Luther or Obama)
Had a dream, I had a dream (London, Paris, Ottawa)
[Post-Chorus: Tiakola & Dave]
Like, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Like, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2: Dave & Tiakola]
Big H on the belt, meridian
Whip obsidian, chick, Parisian
Ringside, box full of white, like Dillian
Me and my killy on form like Kylian
Birkin crocodile, like Skillibeng, sick of them
Turned to a rich man, Twickenham
Any type of— (Phew), on sale, consider them
King Charles, tek' 'way the prince, get rid of them
No limit, I come to break down the door and finish them
I come to break the codes, dawg, without limits
Don't worry too much, I didn't do it on purpose
If they find me around Nathalie
Eh, Nekeisha and Stephanie
Take your bikini out of the suitcase
Eh, a cocktail to get excited (That's it, oh)
[Refrain: Tiakola]
Enough waiting, give us the envelope
I have business waiting for me seven-eight hours of flight away (Away), eh
I advise you to be careful if you get carried away
I carry my best friend under my jeans if I see you crash me (Pa-pa-pa-pah)
[Verse 3: Tiakola]
Eh, every girl want a boy like me (Like me)
They don't know, it's my way of life
Like Skillinbeng, I got the crocodiles teeth
I secured Neverland for a whole night
We can enjoy, enjoy all night
Our presence is already worth a Grammy
Or a gold medal at the Olympic Games
We will repeat it again
[Chorus: Dave & Tiakola]
Jesu Aleselewi (Vuitton, Balenciaga)
Mek I travel overseas (Jamaica, Copacabana)
Had a dream, I had a dream (Martin Luther or Obama)
That my family was free (Offer them Dolce Gabbana)
No sabi? Ola plenty (Enjoy all tomorrows)
Wednesday to Friday (Vuitton, Balenciaga)
Jesu Aleselewi (Martin Luther or Obama)
Had a dream, I had a dream (London, Paris, Ottawa)
[Post-Chorus: Tiakola & Dave]
Like, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Like, oh-oh-oh
[Outro: Tiakola]
Enough, enough, it's enough, enough
Enough, enough, it's enough, enough
Enough, enough, yeah, enough, enough
Enough, enough, it's enough, enough
