Not So Bad (Leans Gone Cold) Lyrics by Rae Sremmurd

[Intro: Swae Lee]
(Three-point-five clouds up my window, and I can’t see it all)
(Paddy on the track)
(It reminds me that it’s not so bad)

[Chorus: Swae Lee]
My lean’s gone cold, I’m wonderin’ why I got out of bed at all
Three-point-five clouds up my window, and I can’t see at all
And even if I could, it would all be grey, but these racks stack up too tall (Yeah)
It reminds me (Reminds me), that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad at all
[Verse 1: Swae Lee]
Fuck sittin’ on the windows, been playin’ with the bands, like Dido (Dido)
I don’t smoke weed, indoor by my lonely, like a widow (Widow)
Ice cubes, pour me some more (Oh), she pop like a pistol (Oh)
Restart, new vehicle, I done jumped out, G.I. Joe
God forgives, but I don’t (I don’t), Lord, have mercy, I don’t (Oh)
Big shot, big dog, block too hot, gotta cool off (Cool off)
CCTV runnin’ 24/7, you better not move wrong (Move wrong)
I can see the wallet, chain hangin’ off my shadow (Shadow)
USD’s in euros, I do ’em so fast, do free-throw’s (Free throw’s)
Just left the jeweler, weigh my neck down with two kilo’s (Kilo)
It’s you, it’s not me though, speed limit sixty, over
Twist up three-point-five and I smell older, I’m in the ozone

[Chorus: Swae Lee]
My lean’s gone cold, I’m wonderin’ why I got out of bed at all
Three-point-five clouds up my window, and I can’t see at all
And even if I could, it would all be grey, but these racks stack up too tall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad at all

[Verse 2: Slxm Jxmmi]
Started off in last place (Last place), started passin’ niggas (Zoom)
I always had faith (Had faith), never saw no competition (Yeah)
Never saw no competition (Competition)
And lately, I don’t know why I’ve been reminiscin’, yeah (Reminiscin’)
More money, more problems (More problems)
Well, I think I like those problems (Those problems)
Yeah, they see me winnin’ now, but you ain’t see me when I was starvin’ (Yeah)
You ain’t know me at the bottom (Bottom), you weren’t with me on that grind (Grind)
Couldn’t call you when I was hurtin’, so ain’t gon’ call you when I shine (Yeah, yeah)
The lean’s gone cold (Gone cold)
The lean’s gone cold, ’cause I don’t pour up anymore (No)
Eyes so low, that I can’t roll up anymore
But I’m a lonely stoner, so I’m still gon’ smoke one more

[Chorus: Swae Lee]
My lean’s gone cold, I’m wonderin’ why I got out of bed at all
Three-point-five clouds up my window (Ayy), and I can’t see at all (Yeah)
And even if I could, it would all be grey, but these racks stack up too tall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad at all

[Outro: Swae Lee]
(Bad at all)
(Bad at all)
(Bad at all)
(Bad at all)
