Bakar

Lyrics

[Chorus]
The last laugh is yours, before and after
'Cause my heart is torn
I think I found us the answer in NW
I might end up with you, I might
Cook food for two I might
End up, end up in NW
I might end up with you, I might
Cook food for two I might
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you

[Verse 1]
I’m on the way, spinnin' through space
I can stop, I'll pick you up on the way
Took me some time but it’s nothin' to you
Took me a while, but I told the you the truth
Right from the start, shot for your heart
Lionel Messi, I tore you apart
Lovin' on you 'cause your friends wanna pree
Show you the world 'cause I don't wanna sneak
Next day, first date, first summer, my last ray
You had me buggin', I can't wait
You had me stuntin’ like Weezy
NW, still on the avenue
Tried to let go, but I’m fallin' in love with you
Sippin’ on pink, cool like a mink
Fly through the ends 'cause I'm finally free, ayy
[Chorus]
The last laugh is yours, before and after
'Cause my heart is torn
I think I found us the answer in NW
I might end up with you, I might
Cook food for two I might
End up, end up in NW
I might end up with you, I might
Cook food for two I might
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you

[Verse 2]
Think I found the North West one, the best one
Lost her shit, still found a hedge fund, head spun
Hope baby girl still learns her lesson
Think I found a place for you too
Think I found a place for your mood swings
Either way I hope that you choose
North West 3, I hope that you move with me
North West me got nothin’ to lose
Think I found a place for you too

[Chorus]
The last laugh is yours, before and after
'Cause my heart is torn
I think I found us the answer in NW
I might end up with you, I might
Cook food for two I might
End up, end up in NW
I might end up with you, I might
Cook food for two I might
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with you
End up, end up with youEmbed
