X Lyrics

[Intro]
You're messing with a holy man
Never messing with no fans
Romans in my plan
You're fucking with a holy man

[Verse 1]
So you know
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You're just another one that I know
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Can't take another one
It's not the way it's meant to go
But you've got no other place to go

[Verse 2]
Said you're messing with a holy man
So you know
Let it go, let it go, let it go
You're just another one that I know
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Can't take another one
It's not the way it's meant to go
But you've got no other place to go

[Refrain]
You're fucking with a holy man
Never messing with no fans
You're messing with a-
[Bridge]
The bees in the trap
Says she's never coming back
The bees in the trap
Say she ain't ever coming back

So roll these trees for the
G's in the back
A nigga's never coming back

So pour some liquor
Reload the trap
Ain't ever coming back

[Outro]
And Beyoncé meant guys like me when she said 'soldier'
A gangster type, when your husband leaves you
Pull up outside, in a silver rover
Until this life is over
Get money rolling over

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The title, “X”, is used by members of the Nation of Islam to symbolise their unknown ancestral surnames.

After an extended drone, a moonlit duet between Joanne Robertson and Dean Blunt begins, with imagery and themes that had dominated the album before being abandoned in hope of freedom and independence…. yet as quickly as divinity is discovered, it’s abandoned yet again.
