Not My Neighbour Lyrics

We get a new ski mask
And put the gas in the car
It's four A.M and we're driving down the highway
With a bag full of money, dirty laundry
Don't think I'm running this time
But I've been losing my mind
The cryptic thoughts of a criminal
All from a girl that's not mine

Oh, and there's a black and white man
Hooded jacket and a chariot
Average height, not NBA
You sure he is, I'm positive, I know, I know
Oh, and then they try to ask the girl I'm in love with
What's my whereabouts
And "Have you had a call of any contact?"
"Can we find him right now, right now?"

She said, "I don't know"
I told her, "Tell the cops to come"
Stop knocking at her door now, right now
Then she said, "Officer"
"Can you leave your number?"
"'Cause I'm actually really busy right now"
Picks up the phone and says
"He's not my neighbour no more"

Take off my jacket and ski mask
And start regretting my actions
It's five A.M and we're rollin' 'round
For three hundred dollars
Couple 40's in a brown paper bag
Don't think I'm losing this time
But I've been losing my mind
The cryptic thoughts of a criminal
All from a girl that's not mine, oh

And there's another weird description
There's a third guy in a runner suit
Could've swear I've seen him here before
But I'm not positive I know, I don't know, oh
And then they try to ask the girl I'm in love with
If she loves me back
And "Have you had a call"
"And would you speak about a guilty man now, right now?"

She said, "I don't know"
I told her, "Tell the cops to come"
Stop knocking at her door now, right now
Then she said, "Officer"
"Can you leave your number?"
"'Cause I'm actually really busy right now"
Picks up the phone and says
"He's not my neighbour no more"

What is the Meaning of Not My Neighbour?

Ever wondered what happens when love, crime, and a ski mask collide at 4 A.M.? Well, buckle up! Our protagonist is on a wild ride with some shady dealings and a bag full of dirty laundry—literally. He's lost his mind over a girl who isn't even his, leading him into a series of questionable decisions. The cops are hot on his trail, but the girl he's smitten with plays it cool, dodging their questions like a pro. With every twist and turn, our anti-hero contemplates his life choices while rolling around town with just $300 and a couple of 40s. It's a tale of love gone rogue and criminal mischief. #LoveAndCrime #MidnightMischief
