[Verse 1]
Yeah, man, I'ma get me a boat
I'ma ride that bad boy down Nostrand Ave, man
[Verse 2]
Yeah, let it roll, coming in waves
Let it roll, coming in waves
Let it roll, coming in waves
Let it roll, coming in waves, yeah
[Verse 3]
Yo, I love the way it feel, man, it feel good
Yo, this track got a feel, man, it's real good
Got the ill melody but it's still hood, you know the deal
Yo, I never let up keep it flashier than old school get up's
Got it cracking like old school leather
Reminiscing of a more wholesome era
I would ask the little girl if we could go together
[Verse 4]
Little Stevie finish red, the harmonica
Archie and Jughead, Betty and Veronica
I learned life ain't a comic though, no
Put away the toys a long time ago
New name for the studio is Kweliwood
Jolly good flow, getting all ya's to naughty wood
Back and forth on the stage with Yassin
Call our group what Garvey probably would
[Verse 5]
Girl, I'd like to stay here, I would
But, babe, you know I got to go get that paper
Let it roll, coming in waves
Girl, I'd like to stay here, I would
But, babe, you know I got to go get that paper
Let it roll, coming in waves
[Verse 6]
All my language is romantic
So Latin I don't even know Spanish
All I know, I'm scorched to the puritan
Most tyranists rap around the whole planet
I'm the one who was never supposed to be here
Now I'm the one they here to see, let's be clear
Yeah, bet now you remember me
Give you a reminder 'cause you act like your memory
[Verse 7]
Lost like Dory while you off finding Nemo
Talkin' you a boss, you as soft as Brian Eno
Telling all these stories, why you lying to the people?
Why you fronting like you want it but you rhyming kinda emo?
Tryna find a needle in a haystack
Easier than tryna find a leader in the mainstream media
Never knowing where we heading
Till we following each other off the cliff like lemmings
[Verse 8]
Girl, I'd like to stay here, I would
But, babe, you know I got to go get that paper
Let it roll, coming in waves
Girl, I'd like to stay here, I would
But, babe, you know I got to go get that paper
Let it roll, coming in waves
[Verse 9]
Let it roll, get bold
Big daddy Kane style, never gonna get old
Spit flows till invented 'cause of Skid Row
Tip toe when you entering in the zip code
Pistols, brandish 'em, we never hand 'em in
Accessory to crime, got a hand in the shenanigans
And the hand got rings like the mandarin
Ugly sense, picking polo rugby's off the mannequin
[Verse 10]
Now I'm feeling like the new wave
Like I'm two days deep into my blue phase
My baby hate that I'm living out of suitcase
Like I forgot to tie the knot like a shoelace
Let me be your liberator
Get yourself together, we gon' see each other later
You could be my lover, you could be another hater
Why you fronting? Tryna run from all this deviant behavior like
[Verse 11]
Yeah
Whiskey Boys
[Verse 12]
Girl, I'd like to stay here, I would
But, babe, you know I got to go get that paper
Let it roll, coming in waves
Girl, I'd like to stay here, I would
(But, babe, you know I got to go get that paper)
Made some time, for you
