about
One of my first forays into production with a jazz sample, the bare drum patterns leave a lot of open space for a flexible flow, as well as drum flams and sample skips. The lyrics are about looking forward whilst reminiscing about the past.
lyrics
New pair of them Old Skools
I, blew air that could choke you
Probably, impairing all my vocals
Calling, warfare like a moat do
My niggas boutta peak, when the slope new
If y’all asleep, dn ima woke you
R&B, Grant Green, ‘cause my “Note Blue”
Hard to see, can’t read? Then I’ma show you
Poppin like popular people racin’
Paul Walking and offin’ ‘em in them Asics
Aaron Paul, I’m appalled that you couldn’t face it
Blow the call, look at all of the peoples faces
Different track, same drawl, looking past the fact
Flip a sack, same dollar for the cash you stack
Sippin lac, head trauma, blowing hash and wax
Thinking back when all I wanted was some razzmatazz
West coast for the sunsets
Moet toast for the success
My whole city coming up next
My whole city coming up next (x2)
Cold chillin’, we Coachillin’, fella
Confused up at the fact that I say hella
Prolific, Hieroglyphics, Della
Losing like you tried to marry Stella
We wasn’t left at the altar
Hockey checks, fuck a dollar
Revolver dead snapped on a Walker
So we, Breaking Bad, no Walter
Leave ‘em chilling on the roof, spilling forty proof
Head up in the ceiling watching Toy Story 2
Forget like Dory do, watching Maury too
S-s-stutter from the tripping, like the way that Porky do
This is pretty far from that’s all folks
Barely getting started, with the bath salt flows
The asphalt shows the way I crack y’all skulls
And the hash, pot blown, until it trash like mulch
West coast for the sunsets
Moet toast for the success
My whole city coming up next
My whole city coming up next (x2)
Saying he’s too random?
You hot gassed like Plankton (x4)
