[00:06.070] |
Let me take another sip, another sip, another sip... |
[00:10.201][Verse One] |
|
[00:12.722] |
Populate my flow with concentrated growth |
[00:14.899] |
Hear my verses, hear my beats, you know I dominate at both |
[00:17.886] |
Got my nickname up in high school from this girl named Winta |
[00:20.786] |
Those was my early days, when I didn't have concern for figures |
[00:23.925] |
But times change... |
[00:25.633] |
I'm over-thinking everything, mind games... |
[00:28.566] |
Feel like it's feeding on my brain, now |
[00:30.677] |
I'm second guessing every effort, every sentence |
[00:33.444] |
Does my breath need less inflection, am I being too reflective? |
[00:36.502] |
Is such and such really better? Is my message even clever? |
[00:39.590] |
I'm apprehended by this pressure, but shall I surrender? |
[00:42.522] |
I look at my own team like, damn, I wish they would help me more |
[00:45.580] |
That's no diss, just being honest, already pressed record |
[00:48.619] |
So can't take it back, and plus I know my destiny's in my hand |
[00:51.881] |
**** man, I be stressin', maybe I should be more aggressive |
[00:54.799] |
I really got some demons I'm embarrassed bout' |
[00:58.612] |
Watch this verse become a motion picture, but what's Paramount was my fear |
[01:01.338] |
Was out in LA, man I'm sittin' here with a living legend |
[01:04.890] |
A living legend, the same one that made Resurrection |
[01:07.690] |
No I.D., but they all just called him "Dion" |
[01:10.420] |
And meanwhile I'm just overthinking, "should I play him 'Beyond'? |
[01:13.611] |
Should I play him "Mama Told Me" and all my other classics?" |
[01:16.476] |
But same old Damon, I just sat there being passive |
[01:19.416] |
I never said a word, never shared a verse |
[01:22.541] |
Then came back to Chicago acting like it never occurred |
[01:25.505][Hook] |
|
[01:25.893] |
There's a million words hiding in my silence |
[01:28.487] |
There's a graveyard hiding in my closet |
[01:31.661] |
Can't be that same dude chillin' on the corner |
[01:34.293] |
So what you waiting on, tell me do you want it? |
[01:37.759] |
Look through my eyes maybe you can see the riot |
[01:40.805] |
Have you ever heard a storm that was quiet? |
[01:43.910] |
Can't be the same dude chillin' on the corner |
[01:46.914] |
So what you waiting on, tell me do you want it? |
[01:49.612][Verse Two] |
|
[01:50.106] |
Sipping on that Templeton |
[01:51.625] |
Money short, no dividends |
[01:53.103] |
Bank account ain't got no zeros, yet I still be zeroed in |
[01:56.271] |
Got no time for simpletons |
[01:57.786] |
Bumping Andre Benjamin |
[01:59.302] |
In the crib, hit the shuffle now it starts that Eminem |
[02:02.219] |
'said you only get one shot,' only get one shot |
[02:05.815] |
I hope that ain't true, cause' I still got my gun cocked |
[02:08.554] |
Its 12:59, I'm in the club probably 'Shrine' |
[02:11.385] |
Sometimes it's lacking but tonight I see the hottest dimes |
[02:14.753] |
Yellow dress up in the corner red nails I think I want her |
[02:17.992] |
Hair braided to the side, nose ring, prima donna |
[02:20.754] |
God damn girl you're killing triple murder |
[02:22.962] |
Tell the judge tell your honor |
[02:24.942] |
Like a goddess from some folklore, oh lord |
[02:27.722] |
My god, swear I couldn't stop staring |
[02:30.316] |
I think I need another drink so I can get more daring |
[02:33.073] |
One shot, two shots, three shots, now I'm ready |
[02:36.387] |
Going for the gold, hang my banner, spray that confetti |
[02:39.361] |
Truthfully I got no game |
[02:41.189] |
But when that liquor hit me I be feeling vain |
[02:44.647] |
Told her my name, I swore our conversation was like magic |
[02:48.009] |
Now we dancing to some classic **** |
[02:49.810] |
Should I grab that ass, Damon don't be so passive |
[02:51.667] |
Had her laughing, we exchanged digits |
[02:53.687] |
I met my wife, I wonder if she had that same vision |
[02:56.656] |
Well let's see, that next morning had to text her |
[02:59.690] |
I told her she got me under |
[03:00.957] |
Sorry I don't remember who you are and lose my number |
[03:03.958] |
There's a million words hiding in my silence |
[03:07.058] |
There's a graveyard hiding in my closet |
[03:10.099] |
Can't be that same dude chillin' on the corner |
[03:13.125] |
So what you waiting on, tell me do you want it? |
[03:16.294] |
Look through my eyes maybe you can see the riot |
[03:19.377] |
Have you ever heard a storm that was quiet? |
[03:22.376] |
Can't be the same dude chillin' on the corner |
[03:25.507] |
So what you waiting on, tell me do you want it? |
