[Intro]
Yeah, pour me some prosecco
Dim the lights down a little more, you heard?
Feel like some Bobby Womack shit, hahahah
This how you show up and show out, uh
[Verse 1]
Sneaker hoarder, relationship sinkin' in water
Two sons, got jiped, wanted a daughter
New guns, bumpin' Nip, my niece's there at the altar
Rhyme culture, whole aura still M.C Ultra
Who the vulture sippin' rum punch, sunk in the sofa?
One blunt, was on a hunt tryin' to jump in some chocha
Young Sosa, soloist, seeking asylum
Hidden sonics on my first album speaking in volumes
Peep how they wildin, fashion trends keep me from stylin
Handsome then, super slim trying to sleep with the stallions
Henny gallon, no dimmies, my pennies was piling
Far from friendly, when you bent is what get you sent to the Island
Grilled salmon, tryna leave alone wings and bones
Pocket dialing with these phones, I'm the king of the tones
Bring me my throne, the lover, E-N-Y Guy from Sutter
In junior high, used to lie when I stutter
Fly with the butters, Coogi sweaters, copped them in colors
I'm not like the others, nut busser, kept boxes of rubbers
It's over, your boy sober, sitting back thirty years older
Stare closer, see the tears on my shoulders, distillin'
Lost feelings, need therapy for the healin'
From what I see, I could never be a civilian
When touchin' them millions, who to trust?
Fooling with lust'll have you doing everything but never doing enough
Just flew to the cut, first Ghana then Botswana
It's a lot to ponder, traveled back right after Kwanzaa
Quick reminder, life's short, visit resorts
Spirits and sports, how you move mirror your thoughts
Message was caught, unwrapped, placed in my lap
The greatest is back, tell the haters make me a plaque
[Interlude]
Thirty billion streams predicted
And we ain't even mix it
It's that next level shit
AZ Esquire, poet extraordinaire
Kept it P since day one
My word always my bond, regardless to whom or what
[Verse 2]
Rather unique, I travel through beats
Correlate with crime, most my kind is deceased
Rhyme for the streets, never those that line up they peeps
Just the ones who will is weak and thirst knowledge and seek
We civil, read through riddles, court cases lead to acquittals
The chisel, in our presence, they shrivel
Words is frivol', if action ain't applied to assist
What's flyer than this? From the mix, I survived the abyss
Highly equipped to cope, my nig did his bid on a boat
Out of her wig, his wiz slid him some dope
He home, all he wanted, Fear of God and some Foams
A Lo knitted, Yank fitted and Bvlgari cologne
I hit him, when tour stop, I’ll spin the block and get him
Just heard the word that his opps got with him, gave him his wings
A few niggas keep it a bean, he was one
Doe or Die, guess we all get a run
[Outro]
More money, more murder
Life as we know it
Not how it should be, but it's the laws of nature
Doe or Die, three decades and counting
Who else could pour their heart out and
Paint pictures at the same time?
A toast to the official, survivors of the urban corner cold war
Never compromise
Calculated and conquered any and all oppositions that stood in their path
This is pre-ordained
I salute y'all, the god
