COUSINS Lyrics
[Part I]
[Refrain]
I saw you outside again
Just hangin' out with your friends
[Verse 1]
Hangin' with my cousin, readin' dirty magazines
We seen two niggas kissin', we ain't know what that shit mean
Then we start re-enactin' everything that we had seen
That's when I gave my cousin head, gave my cousin head
Gave my cousin head, I gave my cousin head
I gave my cousin head
[Refrain]
I saw you outside again
Just hangin' out with your friends
[Verse 2]
And I know these niggas 'bout to judge me now (And I know these niggas 'bout to judge me now)
Started off when we was hangin' out (Started off when we hangin')
Told my cousin not to tell nobody (Please, no, don't tell nobody)
People tell me take it to my grave ("Truth will set you free someday")
I don't think they understand, that I'm not attracted to a man (They thought I was gay)
[Part II]
[Chorus]
Nitrous don't help me, it just put me in a trance
I'm talkin' about euphoria, I am not talkin' about a man
Told her, "Don't leave me, 'cause I need you by my side"
As long as you don't leave me, then I'll probably be alright
And that one time that you left me, I didn't get no sleep that night
And that one time that you left me, I took ten Percs to get high
Ten Percs to get high, pray that I don't die
But if I die, I'll see you in the sky
Two pints of the Qua'-Qua', don't leave, just stay, bae
Let's go on a vacay, leave the world behind
[Bridge]
Leave the world behind
Leave the world behind
[Chorus]
Nitrous don't help me, it just put me in a trance
I'm talkin' about euphoria, I am not talkin' about a man
Told her, "Don't leave me, 'cause I need you by my side"
As long as you don't leave me, then I'll probably be alright
Then I'll probably be alright
Then I'll probably be alright
Ten Percs to get high, pray that I don't die
But if I die, I'll see you in the sky
Two pints of the Qua'-Qua', don't leave, just stay, bae
Let's go on a vacay, leave the world behind
Ten Percs to get high, pray that I don't die
But if I die, I'll see you in the sky
Two pints of the Qua'-Qua', don't leave, just stay, bae
Let's go on a vacay, leave the world behind
