Candy Lyrics
[Intro: Trippie Redd]
Haha, Big 14, you know what the fuck going on
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
Ayy, you know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
I'm in my head again, I took more medicine
Ripped up the parts from my heart and my chest again
[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
Ayy, fuck it, I was raised like that
So I guess I never really changed like that
I be takin' shots to the brain like that
Blacked out drunk and I came like that
Helpin' me to get through all the pain like that
Yeah, driving through the rain like that
Running from the fame like that
On the front page like that
I'ma go insane like—
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
I'm in my head again, I took more medicine
Ripped up the parts from my heart and my chest again
[Verse 2: Trippie Redd]
Huh, my bitch taste like candy, yeah
Play with death like I'm Billy & Mandy, yeah
I keep the chopper in the fanny, yeah
Make a fuck nigga sleep like a Xanny, yeah
On the beach, chilling where it's sandy, yeah
I just bought a whip for my granny, yeah
I fuck a broad, hit her with the Plan B, yeah
Bitch, I'm hard, put that on my mammy, yeah
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
I'm in my head again, I took more medicine
Ripped up the parts from my heart and my chest again

Another time he came and recorded the first line, “My bitch tastes like c...
