I recorded this song around this time last year. It does not sound anything like my past or my coming album, but, as I am currently in the process of recording the last tracks for the album, I wanted to release this as a loosie, a warm-up track. I know it has been a while since you heard new music from me, so I hope you enjoy this. More is on the way.
(Like all samples I ever use, I can obviously not obtain legal permission. I decide to release it anyway and hope that in case that a song becomes popular we can come to a fair agreement about royalty splits! For this song, I sampled a bit from Bun B's verse from Big K.R.I.T.'s "Ride Wit Me (feat. UGK)". I absolutely love that whole album (I had the cd shipped from Fatbeats USA, because it was not available in my country at that time) and oh yeah, the art is also so cool! Anyway, I'm not trying to steal anything, pls show this in court haha. "No, don't sue me. That is the opposite of the point that I'm trying to make." *Michael Scott voice. Just send me a message if you have a problem with the sample)
lyrics
What is this?
Just some music mane
Trying out sumn new, sumn fresh
Y’all never heard me rap like this mane
Sumn like this, like really
Like really going at it
Nah, y’all never heard this
I, I Started rapping at 16 but
You ain’t ever seen that
I’m a triple threat
You didn’t know yet?
Oh let me tell you bout the
Way I sing when I’m hooking
The things I got cooking
The tings I got lookin
That think I’m good-lookin
Lookin like a G like a bawse
Imma show em I’m the only one you see that got the sauce
If you’re ever feelin like your lost
Hey, you can come on over to the house
Cause, I’m realer than these other guys
Forget ya homies bitch and get to know me bitch
Nah, keepin it real I just like rappin
Excuse me if I be cappin
But the beat makes me feel like
What’s happenin
Nice, uha uh, that’s what the cough is
Now for the next part I hope y’all paid attention to The Office
Oh you love me? Like Kiki? Get off the PP!
Oh your tryna be me? Steal my style like Angela and Cece?
Don’t draw any conclusions by just listenin (nahh)
I’m aware it’s an illusion, go back, rewatch the christening
Now I gotta show you that I can sing
Just because I told you at the beginning
And just to make the point as clear as can be
Imma go ahead and add some harmony
Nowwww
I don’t wanna be a rapper
But I wanna show I can rap
I mean, I’d love to be a rapper
I take it back, but I also wanna be more than that
Oh please please don’t don’t be mistaken
That was really me, that was not sung by Akon
Now back to the rap
Got a stack in the back
That’s a Birdman bar
Hey just like an astrologist I
I learned from the star
Nahh that’s a joke, don’t choke, stay woke
Mane I hate this flow
And the sound of the
background is sumn you need to know (what is it?)
It’s a Big K.R.I.T. hit in a new outfit
Oh it’s not myy beat noo
But the Bun B flow makes sho it gon be on repeat though
Do you like how I flipped it?
Took my homemade sauce and I dipped it
Don’t care if it’s your taste
I just showcase
All the flows I’m equipped with
My rhyming ability
Plus my timing, you feelin me?
That combined with a simile
Ah, it’s killing me
Like a guillotine
I mean, that shit smart,
But now it’s time to go slow
When I go fast it’s hard to get back into a laidback flow
So, if that seemed abrupt
Then now you know
Plus, I would mess that up
If I would play it at a show
So, I rap it here, but I guess I’ll never perform it live
And if you
Ayo, I’m motivated
Gimme the beat, gimme the beat, Imma
elevate it
I bring the heat, I bring the heat, and I’m
Detonating
Listen to me, this is all me, ain’t no
Dedicating
Imma be the only one I’m celebrating
Looking like the song’s almost done
When it’s over I hope you all had fun
I’m rapping now
that’s what you should take away from this
I’m rapping now
Thank you
I’m out
Hold up
Wait a minute
No, I’m not yet finished
Till I do some more singing
This melody you need to know from the beginning
You already know that I can do this shit
But I just wanna make sho that you never forget
And just to make the point as clear as can be
Imma go ahead and add some harmony
