[Intro: Kota the Friend & CJ Fly]

(Woah) Oh, (Woah) yessir, (Oh, Statik Selektah)

Brooklyn, what the fuck? (Woah)

Statik (Woah), yeah, yeah (Oh), yo


[Verse 1: Kota the Friend]

True and livin', I heard spring showers bring new beginnings

Looser women, dollars with few conditions, that's two admissions

New religions painted these pictures vivid, they true to vision

New commissions comin', they gotta get through the two dimensions

Don't believe in luck, see blessings and I assume position

Move with purpose, get through the turbulence with a crude ambition

Gatekeeper's peekin', I see him movin' with cruel intentions

I just keep it pushin' and keep pursuin' these new inventions

Said it, I meant it, and if I get it, I penned it

And if you read it on Reddit then you ain't gettin' my message

I'm like the organic produce, nothin' but real in my section

I seen my niggas go postal, I had some permanent lessons

I got my hands sittin' ten and two, winnin' even when I lose

Kota's Arc, all of my blessings be comin' in in twos

Know the truth, don't take no wooden nickels and play the fool

That just make it easier to play these fools, yeah

[Chorus: Kota the Friend & CJ Fly]

They need somethin' relatable, somewhat unbreakable, tryna escape it all

This shit is so undebatable, make it obtainable, someone to save 'em all

They need somethin' relatable, somewhat unbreakable, tryna escape it all

This shit is so undebatable, make it obtainable, someone to save 'em all (Fly)


[Verse 2: CJ Fly]

I been gettin' better as I age, just like some corked wine

Don't gotta use a sundial to see these dark times

Somehow we could see it all peekin' through our blinds

I went from sittin' in the court to sittin' court side

Fiends still snort lines, police, they report crimes

What, think we support swine the way we eat pork rinds?

More fire, gettin' more fire

I'm Rick and Morty fly, I leave you mortified

Very few rappers state the facts and even more tell lies

I lay my vocals onto wax then I'm immortalized

This quarantine ain't nothin' new, I'm used to bein' the illest

I stay away from all these parasites that stay tryna kill us

While you lil' niggas out in the club, I'm cozy in bed

With my Puerto Rican mamí that sound like Rosie Perez

How the fuck did they let corona get spread?

Why you think I'm messed up? Can't let it go to my head (Fly)


[Chorus: Kota the Friend]

They need somethin' relatable, somewhat unbreakable, tryna escape it all

This shit is so undebatable, make it obtainable, someone to save 'em all

They need somethin' relatable, somewhat unbreakable, tryna escape it all

This shit is so undebatable, make it obtainable, someone to save 'em all (Yeah, yeah)


[Verse 3: Kota the Friend]

I used to pray to the Holy Bible I'll smoke my rivals

I was focused on survival, drownin' in the open bottle

Henny and more Moscato, found me a new whore to follow

I poke her then bought McDonald's, that's somethin' we both ain't proud of

Demons, they actin' friendly, play victim and act and tell me

They trippin' and actin' petty, I'm dippin' and that's a Fendi

I used to pack a semi, wildin' off of 'gnac and Remy

Jacket, Pelle, ready to rock you if you actin' jelly

Sippin' Circoc with Jerry, them cowards killed Dr. Sebby

And Malcolm, not accidentally, we pop when his ass offendin'

Biggie and Makaveli and Nipsey and Pop already

My tears, they be droppin' steady, I'm ready to start some vetting

This shit depressin', I spit these lessons and hope you listen

If it's a issue, address it so we can try and fix it

While they be rhymin' fiction and spittin' them lines specific

My poems are honest written, so they cannot sound malicious


[Chorus: Kota the Friend]

Somethin' relatable, somewhat unbreakable, tryna escape it all

This shit is so undebatable, make it obtainable, someone to save 'em all

They need somethin' relatable, somewhat unbreakable, tryna escape it all

This shit is so undebatable, make it obtainable, someone to save 'em all


[Outro: Kota the Friend]

Somethin' relatable, somewhat unbreakable, tryna escape it all

So undebatable, make it obtainable, someone to save 'em all
