about

After a 2 year hiatus & dealing with the shutdown of America due to Covid-19, the NOLA emcee returns with this laid back track featuring his witty, deep & personal lyrics.

lyrics

CHORUS

VERSE 1: So much sitting on my top/
Contemplate it all while I’m sitting at the top/
Old heads call me young but in from a different crop/
Food for the soul you gon need some different stock/
Out in Hamburg giving bars to the people/
12 hour flight came far for the people/
Been a long road but I’m gassed up and ready/
Sedrick tried to pass the dro but I ain’t tryna get heady/
Getting over heartbreak now they call me Tom petty/
I could bad mouth her but that just kinda petty/
And I ain’t that guy/
I would rather spend 2 hours before an event tryna get fly/
I got kicks to pick & pics to click/
Shyts legits I’m MJ & this is it/
He he been that nigga forever/
We we I’ll be in France once covid get it together/

CHORUS: It’s just the wave x 7
(what you really on, what we really on)

VERSE 2: Ion rock with no chump/
I’ll rock an orange short but ion fuck with no trump/
If you do you a lame just know it/
I’m black and I’m proud and I talk with wild slang just to show it/
A nice economy is cool but equality is better/
And until that’s reality we will not let up/
Unh, and that’s just for the better/
Showed up to rap baby’s that’s just for the cheddar/
They say I’m off the hook every time I go hard/
So there no curtain call cuz I cut the phone off/
No reception no bars/
Word to my nigga Marcel p black got em screaming oh Lawd/
Greatest of all time if you ask me/
Flo jo in a track meet when our tracks meet/
Word to Kendrick nigga you gon take the backseat/
That’s me/
