Refrain:
We bout’ to do it like, do it like, do it like
We bout’ to do it like, do it like, do it like
We bout’ to do it like, do it like, do it like
We bout’ to do it like this
Verse One:
Wait your turn, hold up I’m killing this microphone
With no fear just like making love when the lights are on
I’m contented, fresh fade, clean button up
Cash in my pocket, new sneaks, what the fuck I want?
So much confidence though business is so, so
So this aint’ like a Virgins first time saying go slow
No nerves, do it to the death, do it to the last breath
Do it til’ the consumers say yes
Late bloomers just guess, no contest
Haters wanna talk it to their friends but can they tell me in the flesh?
Can’t say it no plainer, it’s a no brainer
My rhymes is priceless, they written on gold paper
And no place is safer than home if you aint’ knuckle proof
See I don’t got to kid you I can tell the bare knuckle truth
So why chance it? To fail and me don’t go
There’s no dirt on my shoulder so tell me something I don’t know
Chorus: X2
You telling me something that I already know
Tell me something that I don’t, something that I never wrote
Something to quote, something to give me food for thought
Something that I could on records and my peoples promote (whooo!)
Verse Two:
I seen girls clubbed out, young dudes thugged out
Seen Narcs drugged out, literally plugged out
See high school couples hugged out
Bugged out when I saw one of my peoples in a coffin slugged out
So I have no doubts bout’ the way that I’m heading
Had my head upon my shoulders since the age of eleven
It’s the age of endeavours, age of the never say never
Age til’ my bank account balance says “whatever”
And I aint’ looking beef, I’m just looking for beats
I’m looking for money and looking for money to repeat
I’m looking for a honey that’s sweet, a place to retreat
A place where can take a seat, recline and put up my feet
A place where I can eat and never need to check the receipt
And never want for much cos everything I have is complete
But I still compete when I put on a show
It’s gonna be hot so tell me something that I don’t know word up
Chorus: X2
Verse Three:
Yo, Parris brung it and the D. dot sung it
Saw the first prize, won it, gave it back it was nothing
When it comes to percentages we looking for a hundred
And we left them other dudes scratching their heads and they’re wondering
If we got what we got from the place that they’re looking
Didn’t wait to be given we just rolled up and took it
Cos that’s how we are yo we stand up dudes
The Wash is in the building so stand up fool
And we dare not lose cos losing aint’ strategic
And part of our thesis we set trends
And stay consistent on the track until the joint ends
We existing on the fact that we smart and good friends
Piece by piece we gonna make this rip
Aint’ nobody coming close when we up in this bitch
And now they tell us our style is gonna blow
For sure but sell me something that I don’t know
Chorus: X2

This was the first Oddisee album I had ever heard. Still regularly come back to it. I know people who listen to underground always talk about the amazing artist you can find, but it was shock to find just an insane amount of talent from someone so unknown. Brycenotbric3

This track just goes so so HARD! As well as it being an absolute banger, I really adore the impact and meaningful lyrics that Substantial Spits. Specially the lines about his history with Nujabes (R.I.P) cloudydaudy
