about

Play
What do you give an album that has everything? A melodic odyssey with a living, breathing feel to it, that‘s what. Feisty, funky and full-on with a musical open-ness that will appeal to those who demand that little bit more.

VERSE1
I’m never ghosting I say what I write
Hardly freestyle I get paid what I write
Hardly hold back kid I say what I like
And with that in mind I sound great on the mic
And this aint on a hype it’s the real deal raw
My beats sound hotter than they ever did before
Approach every song like “This aint no chore”
There aint a piece of paper with a rhyme that I tore
Its Funky dawg and I’m here like a soldier
Said I couldn’t do it but I told ya I’m older
Got the weight of the world sitting on my shoulders
Now I want a refund on them rhymes that you sold us
They straight wack and you wanna be famous?
I know we shouldn’t say that yo but who can blame us?
Cos every time you get a beat to move on the faders
You contributing to the fact you bound to be nameless
And that aint cool that aint even ok
You bout to drop your record everybody’s blahzay
They talking bout they girl or need to touch up they fade
While you pestering the DJ for your record to play (ah-hey)

CHORUS
Play… My joints get played cos they hot
And yours probably don’t cos they not
Play… but don’t take it out on me
It’s just the way that it’s supposed to be
Play... my joints get played cos they ill
While your probably getting told “chill”
Play… and take your rhymes back to the lab
Here’s some money go and catch you a cab


VERSE 2
Huh, yo I’ve never fallen off from when I begun
From my first record down to this here one
From my first show to the next one I rock
From a whole cycle of a hand on a clock
It’s clear I got my whole game on lock
And I don’t need to get no props or have MC’s on my jock
While small timers talking bout the bars that they got
Them bars are criminal homie I’m calling the Cops
Like Whooo! Whooo! You bout to get locked up
And broken like the breaks that you hear chopped up
Incarcerated knowing what I’m talking about
Screaming “Ahhhh!!” somebody let me out
But that’s what happens when you mess with the grown ups
Acting like you big time with records that’s blown up
When in actuality it’s never the case
You said you got flavour but we don’t like the taste
So what can I say that I haven’t yet said?
When your styles just D.E.D. ded!
Simple and plain didn’t even need A
Cos A is for them students who be getting the play (ah-hey)
