I got a new flavor coffee, I got an old flavor rap
Equip the A1 tones to make too cool kids relax
B-boys hounding for the sounds
2015, my bank account was nowhere to be found, look at me now
Hardcore composer, 4 to the floor
Spinnin' glitterin' sunny shores, worry never no more
Promoters score off me
Lab rats want the cheese, flip your expectations with ease oh please
You say you're making big moves, adjust my aim by degrees
I see you breaking the rules, before you know what they be
I'll see you taken for rides, while I am given the keys
Only success loves to hide, while failure wants to be seen
But I won't give it the pleasure, I'm rising measure by measure
I'm making money by minutes but keeping grip on my tether
I'm whippin' the competition collecting more hearts than Castlevania
Hit me to catch the Jet Set mania
If you feel it and you like the sound
(Say somethin' say somethin')
People bring it a little closer now
(Say somethin' say somethin')
Heart warm with a cold style
(Say somethin' say somethin')
Transform then we roll out
(Say somethin' say somethin')
When you see me in the streets say
If you like the fresh beats
(Pay somethin' pay somethin')
New ideas each and every day
(They somethin' they somethin')
I know they gonna say something bout how I'm rappin' again
Most that grab my album don't know how I be grabbin' the pen
I come and stab em again, they can't get mad at the kid
Just go look at what I did, put back the grind in your skid
It's just the biz, money talks I only listen when I spend just to live
Then I go and make it all back again
With millennial friends, celebrate the last days
Raise hell and grab praise through a love drunk haze
I feel I'm falling, but the music props me up in ways
Haters calling, but the lovers lop it up, I just sway
And sashay to the timing of the beat and perfect lines
Bass correcting my spine
This is the only divine, I'll take my time
If you feel it and you like the sound
(Say somethin' say somethin')
People bring it a little closer now
(Say somethin' say somethin')
Heart warm with a cold style
(Say somethin' say somethin')
Transform then we roll out
(Say somethin' say somethin')
When you see me in the streets say
(Say somethin' say somethin')
If you like the fresh beats
(Pay somethin' pay somethin')
New ideas each and every day
(They somethin' they somethin')
You know, sometimes
Actually a lot of times
Actually never
People come up to me on the street and
They say: Hey, you're the guy that raps
And I'm like: Eh, yeah, I am
And they ask: Hey, can you freestyle something
For me real quick
You know, just, real quick?
To uh, prove your worth as a human being and as an artist?
And I'm like, no
I can't actually
But I can dramatically arrange 7-10 layers of mouth sounds
To make an entire instrumental
I can do that
I have a very talented mouth
And would you like me to do that? "
And they're like
No
And I walk away
