lyrics

lyrics:
short summers and long winters, they keepin guns
hot but no mistaking these cold killers, my wallet hollow
i gotta keep raking in more scrilla, the new joint by
lil fig and the dior singers, producer or con-
-sumer determined by your definition of FL, the
ice don’t melt, this ain’t Ugly God or Denzel,
last time i repped the south, it didn’t end wizzell
if i ever have to dead you, just know that i meant well, shit
i’ve never spit at a venue, but if i had though?
they would call it a drag show, meanwhile the facts show i
bring more people together than county-wide lassos while
still keeping it gritty as crack smoke, i’m back with a
death wish, the most potential, nobody contests it, my
mic’s a weapon, imma smack the hard headed, i’m act-
-ing all reckless, i’m back, with more leverage, i crack
a cold beverage, sit back, and cause hemorrhages, it’s
effortless, whips, whips, whips, whips, whips, like west-
-side gunn in the kitchen, you try to run your lips, but no, im-
-ma shut up your bitching, i flick my wrist with ho-
-mocidal intentions, the clicks ain’t from glicks, it’s
cameras and lights, but honestly, to me, that shit is
cancer and strife, they make it hard as possible to find the
answers to life, they cloud the shit with banter and
fights over pedantic and trite shit, this really some
hype shit, looking outside and the grass covered in
white shit, the cruel winter has arrived, i pray i sur-
-vive it, i’m reshaping myself just to adapt to this new
climate, in real life, i’m quiet, but that’s not what you’d
tell from my iris, curtains drawn over the windows, you
tryna phone a friend, pay a pal, you stuck with Venmo
you can’t just be audible now, you gotta be heard, these
fine lines are the most liable to be blurred, peace
Vince Staples: brit pop in the 1980s.
X: who?
Vince Staples: brit pop in the 1980s.
Boy George, Yaz, Talking Heads, Duran Duran, all these motherfuckers we’re making the same song for 10 years straight,
that’s where we at now.
why? because motherfuckers wanted money.
why? because Michael Jackson made pop music.
so what happened with that is,
if you look at (stammers) The Clash, The Clash was a rock group who started making brit pop
because they wanted to make a lil bit of money
because what they was doin wasn’t poppin.
so you got that, you got post-Nirvana, punk music,
which is really grunge music
which is really Seattle music based on jazz
because Quincy Jones and Ray Charles used to play up there
and they had all them kids tryna learn about instrumentation and slow thing their music down.
you’ve got these types of eras that have happened in every single genre of music.
