| Yo, this beat got curves
|
| I’mma send it a poem
|
| I wonder if she prefer wordplay or some effortless flow
|
| I wonder why I get nervous and second guess my pen stroke
|
| I mean, it couldn’t hurt to say hello, right?
|
| Yo, back to the drawing board, put it on wax, wax on and off
|
| Gotta get this shit mastered before the tour
|
| My vocal chords and the cold season never got along
|
| The pressure is on, nobody to lean on but the next song
|
| So, hello keyboard, hello deep chords, goodbye before
|
| Hello new day, hello beauty
|
| Peace to the colors in that old bouquet
|
| Gold bars for breakfast, spending my dough reckless
|
| Hello to the money lenders, oh shit, I gotta go
|
| Nobody wanna hear songs about being broke
|
| Cop the record, see the show, rep the city, say hello
|
| I got a homie back home, I think he’s on the verge of depression
|
| Caught between the Monday blues and the Thursday stress
|
| Yo I could tell by how he worded his text, he in the hole
|
| I’ve been in it too, so, I hope he pick up his phone
|
| Now I ain’t got no Dr. Phil knowledge
|
| Just a promise that I’mma get at you honest
|
| I just got a packed bag of love songs, nobody to play’em for
|
| I’m bout to get out the lab and look around, say hello, there she go
|
| Voice 1: I mean, you know, I have to say my main love is playing like Miles and
|
| Ornette Coleman and Coltrane and people like that when I was like 13 or 14
|
| Voice 2: That’s pretty precocious listening really, isn’t it for a 13 or 14
|
| year old. |
| And you weren’t a snob at all at the time?
|
| Voice 1: Oh yeah. |
| Thing is, I like music, I like hearing people who can play
|
| play, and I like hearing people who can sing sing, and really do it
|
| Voice 2: You’re actually selling me records x 3 |
