about
New Single...
We are just old fools playing a young man's game.
The beat was inspired by the drunken master.
The lyrics are simply...inspired.
lyrics
I’m thinking outside of Pandora’s box/
Bigger wins on fan duel than with stocks/
Sit with a panoramic view from the top/
Slow sipping that grand cru nonstop/
It’s a lock, I’m not here to spectate/
Or catch hate (on) the edgiest of edge case/
Press play? the next day it’s check mate/
So take a look inside, like an X-ray/
Or in the mirror: as one hand waves/
At an old fool playing a young man’s game/
Trying to take the crown off with one campaign/
The depth and the breadth means your lungs can’t hang/
Slang - and sophisticated shit talk/
So peep game, your dealing with the pit boss/
Big dog. My lift off like Rick Ross/
Sometimes that scab need to be ripped off.
Im on a rickshaw - loving the the view/
You think criff-dog sells nothing but food/
I used to get picked on when I was a youth/
Now they’re going thru withdraw from substance abuse/ (it’s true… )
Verse 2
The next rounds on me/
And if not tonight - I’m in town all week/
Was in my teens when I found out how I sound on beats/ used to write my email on the CD/
Test my best work in the network/
Dipped a toe in, and then I went in head first/
And I was fresh MAN, without a red shirt/
Spit the fire, but never get burnt/
This my all day pace/
Voice echos when I’m walking thru the hallway late/
They know I’m top boy, and call me mate/
Idnt it the truth when you sleuth my space?/
Clearly - I’m on one//…Verse so phat,
you run it back like a long punt/
Awestruck - And you didn’t resist/ (for once)
I can’t tell if that’s a grimace or a wince/
So judge me on my character only/
And miss me if you’re arrogant, phoney/
I never hang with nefarious cronies/
Instead: I keep it moving like Kadarius Toney/
Let’s go!
