800 Degreez 1&2

I know our lives will go on regardless

We’ll both be fine

But when we’re together

There’s nothing better

One of a kind

We never part for long

The fire has grown too strong

I see you and then

800 degrees again

Now that we found love

What are we gonna do

800 degrees again

Again again

800 degrees again

Again again

Now we’re going full speed ahead

No stopping

We ain’t ever felt this way

And now you’re freeing up some space

In your closet

Tryna get me to stay, yeah

I brought you to my granny house for gumbo

My whole family knew that I was done for

‘Cause the roux right

The roux right

The roux just right

Got a taste of love and the roux just right

We got the passion of Angelina and Billy Bob

It’s really high

It’s really dark

It’s really hot

This feel like the only way to love

800 degrees and going up

I know our lives will go on regardless

We’ll both be fine

But when we’re together

There’s nothing better

One of a kind

We never part for long

The fire has grown too strong

I see you and then

800 degrees again

Now that we found love

What are we gonna do

800 degrees again

Again again

800 degrees again

Again again

And wherever we are the fire will follow

Baby, we’re here right now

Let’s not count on tomorrow

The temperature rise

What if I told ya

That heaven’s where the fire resides

Oh

Oh

It’s always hotter in the valley

It’s always dark in my alley

I’m fighting for better days

I’m putting on for my family

800

Nana na na na na na

(800)

Nana na na na na na

(800)

I took the 164 bus

For bout 4 365’s

Eviction notice on our front door

Thank God for grandma house

My mom wearing herself out

Tryna find a way out

They got our daddy locked down

So we’re on our own now

12th grade I was supposed to be in adult school getting my credits up

But I was out in the hallway

Shooting dice tryna get my fetti up

Oh I

Figured if I hit this point

My momma wouldn’t have to stress

And I could lighten up the load

That’s weighing heavy on her chest

I learned the hard way

That you gotta watch your homies the most

‘Cause some of them acting like Broadway

Just playing a role

They claim that it’s love

But my **** that’s what they all say

I’m paying my dues and soldiering through

The darker the news

The sweeter the blues

I just pray that I’m getting through to yal

It’s always hotter in the valley

It’s always dark in my alley

I’m fighting for better days

I’m putting on for my family

800

Nana na na na na na

(800)

Nana na na na na na

(800)

From the cradle to the concrete

Putting on for the family

Mom curated crowns

Stayed shopping down at Sally’s

Learned the blues from my daddy

Roscoe’s on the weekend

Number nine with a waffle

Coating chicken with the Trappy’s

Chuck Taylors with the khakis

Writing songs for the baddies

Selling tapes on the boardwalk

One dub was a come up

Told the homie I aint wanna bang I aint Slanging I just want to sing ****

Chasing dreams like a fiend visions of the Life on the movie screen ****

Granny cooking up a dream with the

Pot of chili with the beans ****

Though we didn’t have it all always made a Youngin’ feel like a king

Praying to my Elohim please give me what I seen in my dreams

On the grind like a fiend 10,000 hours just in my teens ****

Keep your eyes open

Don’t worry ‘bout the people

Who are not there

Don’t worry ‘bout the people

Who are not encouraging you

There not in that space with you

Everybody ain’t ready to go on the road you’re ready to go on

People always wanna keep you on memory lane

You know what? That’s back there

We can laugh and chuckle about it

But, we ain’t gon stay back there

We can’t move forward looking back
