lyrics

The day was about 88º on my paper route,
racing 'round, taping flyers, tryna finagle a crowd.
Ran into Sweet Lick on the pavement & gave a pound,
conversation's 'bout who's shaking the town,
& who gon' be the first to take all that clout,
& translate it, cover major ground, make it out & make us all proud,
without considering really what "make it out" means,
aside from fulfilling them fill-up-bank-account dreams.
Do we want him to represent us? Represent we?
& once that check cut, how many gonna feel the envy
& say "he was never really one of our own"?
How long until conspiracy theories that he's a clone?
How long until he's cruising that Bugatti through Westhaven,
some talking about illuminati, the rest hating?
How long until his hometown he don't claim it,
cuz labels & agents say it's unsavory associations?
I told Lick I would catch him on the flip,
tipped my Vinegar Hill snapback & dipped,
jumped in the truck cuz I had another stunt to pull,
still owe the body shop a stack on the deductible.
The door still don't really close right,
but that's life, all the more reason to get my 0's right.
I crossed town to see my brother at the job, I inquired,
they said he was busy working the fryer.
I replied, "can I drop off these flyers?
He's got a show on Friday, you might slide through if you feel inspired to."
She said "bet," but I knew she wasn't coming out.
Nobody pays to see their co-worker dumbing out,
run his mouth about Trump & the house,
I can hear that any day & I ain't got to put no money down.
One of the illest lyricists this city has,
last gig he walked away with $32.50 cash.
4 kids, 2 jobs slinging hash
& a side hustle middlemanning gas up the ave.
He can't vote, or get a business license either,
to start up a dispensary, once it's legal.
Yeah it's capitalism, it hurts.
But I had another rapper to visit at work.
So I cocked my Vinegar Hill snapback to the left,
dropped the flyer stack off, then I stepped.
My shift start at 3, hit the road pronto,
detour, street closed, they're building some new condos.
