Lyrics

Ma, I got you with this one

Beachfront

Vic City, you the only one who believed bro

It's a movie

Linton, what up?

Delly, Steve Jones

Let's keep it moving

You know I

Got the sauce

Like I don’t try

Independent with my own vibe

You play yourself

We keep it so fly

So fly

If the morning sun

Just don’t rise

And up above there will be no sky

We won’t die

Bro so wise up

Gettin' so high

So high

I was wasted

Time was going by

Now my dreams are close by

Yessir

The name well stamped

Like a Pell grant

It’s hella mellow in my camp

John Melloncamp

My girl eating melons with my relatives

And she 'bout to get a ring like the Celtics is

They saying "Nico you the man, you the hombre"

How I land like a Hawk like I’m Tony

Feels good like it’s Tony! Toni! Toné!

Tours wanna book the kid I’m like okay

The Lox, Dipset, Kiss-Cam, Coldplay

Cream rules everything around me, Yoplait

Stay inside the lab cooking with my broskis

In the game everybody got a role to play

I’m Elway, a white Bronco, OJ

Gotta always stay chill like Rose’

The world want me crashed out I’m like no way

This for my bros stuck working for a low wage

The humor always stay dry, sauvignon blanc

I sat down with A.I. and had a long talk

I asked him how he had the crossover on lock (like how?)

Even not sober bro was still non stop

Like what it’s like to be the whole damn franchise?

And never change up, never be sanitized?

Or standardized scan skies for my Grammy's eyes

She ain’t like my hat backwards like them damn guys

I said "Grammy, can I have the candy and fries?"

Not advised so I never will aggrandize

Myself or the crew, shout to K. Reeves

I try not to be a brute, always say please

I try to open up doors, see what bae needs

‘For she came into my life it was some grey seas

Born on Park Ave, a Lennox Hill baby

Born in '89. yeah I’m from the 80’s

I thank God that the beats bang so hard

Only shells I’m tryna bust are with the go cart

Self-control, motivation, that’s the dope part

Im no wolf, gang, I'm a deus - Mozart

I’m more Tiger without the back spasms

Take your mind on a trip, deep chasms

Light years before the game even fathoms

We the Apple of they eye like Adam’s

You throw me the rock ima cash out the bank

What good is that drop without gas in the tank

I pick up the rook as you catch that back-rank

Aquarium NYC, smashing the tank

Things gettin' nasty but we not involved

Time is a precious commodity y'all

Spent so much time on this, I’ll spend it all

Stay elevating, my mind is resolved

You know I

Got the sauce

Like I don’t try

Independent with my own vibe (we independent though)

You play yourself

We keep it so fly

So fly

If the morning sun

Just don’t rise (one day the morning sun just won't rise)

And up above there will be no sky

We won’t die

Bro so wise up

Gettin' so high (on God)

So high

I was wasted

Time was going by (on God)

Now my dreams are close by

This the examp of a champ as I vamp like a damn amp

Traipsing through a forest green, that’s the tramp stamp

As we trample leaves fallen where the branch lands

Plant seeds for my team in the grand stand

What that means is that we are the ones now

With the power to bring light when the sun's down

How my vocal so bright with the drums now

In the hopes that they might put the guns down

Gotta be positive with the platform

In the last round scrappin' and the mat torn

How he stay like Steph and shoot with that form

How he say it from the chest, what they asked for

Honesty and the passion is the hallmark

New kids on the block you could Mark

Out in San Jose, yeah I’m all shark

I been on my King Arther not ardvark

On Noah’s ark as I pull up to the car park

Aquatic vehicle amphibious, the tar spark

Call it hydro smoke

That’s a vibe tho bro

Now your iPhone low

I’m like I don’t know

Let the beat breath like a long sigh

If you tryna play me got the wrong guy

Never lazy and it’s gravy when the song cry

We always stay purveying with a calm eye

You throw me the rock ima cash out the bank

I hop out the drop putting gas in the tank

I pick up the rook and I catch that back-rank

Aquarium NYC, smashing the tank

Things gettin' nasty but we not involved

Time is a precious commodity y'all

Spent so much time on this, I’ll spend it all

Stay elevating, my mind is resolved

You know I (we really do this bro)

Got the sauce

Like I don’t try (a lot of y'all didn't believe me though)

Independent with my own vibe (no hard feelings)

You play yourself

We keep it so fly

So fly

If the morning sun

Just don’t rise (I had to believe it first)

And up above there will be no sky

We won’t die

Bro so wise up

Gettin' so high

So high

I was wasted

Time was going by

Now my dreams are close by

(It turned me into a monster)

Family Tapes, Hip Hop Sovereignty Volumes One, Two, and Three

We moved on to a new chapter

The fourth one comes back around after

But we leave you with some sauce for the rapture
