[Verse 1: Oddisee]
This here beyond top shelf shit
I'm on display, right by the exit
Call and request this, put it on your check list
Feel free to let us in, like we on the guest list
Yes, this be the one and only
One to shun the phonies
Ain't nothin' on me – I'm clean
Shine like sheen from Soul Glo
O' for the kids, but the flow for grown folks
Know what I did for the truth and all that
Come with it when I'm in the booth with raw raps
I come with it
Young hit it on the money like the 'Wheel Of Fortune'
Somethin' y'all missin' that's real important
I'm here to fill the void like 'Deep Space 9'
You're here to feel the noise like deep bass lines
Well, let's all listen
Godfather here, on a "bless y'all" mission
[Chorus: Tor Cesay]
We lay low, we play notes
'Til it's daylight out the window
We lay low, we take notes
'Til it's daylight out the window
[Verse 2: Phonte]
Grab a hold of your horses
A grown man talkin', nigga, lower your voices
No negotiation, this is not a democracy
Nope, not even probably
Ain't no other choices
I came to give voice to the voiceless
But some people say that my poise is
Similar to arrogance
I–think they babblin'
I–been travelin' worldwide
They sayin' "Nigga, Tay, you anointed
With the gift to make all
The people wanna take off
They shoes and shake off they blues on the flo'"
Any day, any week
Any track, any beat
Just keep my snare hittin' on the two and the four
For each and ever-ry-one
Tay lay it down like Bed, Bath & Beyond
It's not no fable
He's the thoroughbred fresh out the stable
Always, God willing, and comfort-able
Yep!
[Chorus: Tor Cesay]
We lay low, we play notes
'Til it's daylight out the window
We lay low, we take notes
'Til it's daylight out the window
