Nouveau Classique yah
Nouveau Classique yah
Midsummer nights, late winter days
Time flies and under the wings I stay
To lift my plane beyond the sun, to shine as one
Fear and pain is givin’ me shade
They used to work overtime within my brain
No they’re demoted to minimum wage
The suburbs where I hail from
This school degree is absurd, shit don’t help none
That 9 to 5 is dead end, no pay off, just that severance
So you waste your gifts, no presence (presents)
All for the money, funny how we livin’ our lives for dead men
Uh-uh, no sir, shift gears to the fast lane, gimme that champagne
I’m first, you second like a last name, now they bumpin’ my joints, no backpain
Put it on, takin off like a jet airliner
Sayin’ I’m cold (Cole) like I rep Carolina
Rap so blunt, like I puff marijuana
Drop that kick just enough to bare my soul (sole)
(Hook)
Yeah, this is my soul, uh this is my soul
This is my soul, This is my soul
The righteous, the righteous remain
Yah, the righteous remain alive, don’t tell me truth
Tell me lies, my reality is I’m living in the sky
This is that Blue Cross Anthem, H & M, J. Crew
Roth IRA bombers, school ya like my Alma Mater
6 O’Clock alarm set, we that Logitech click (clique)
Hewlett Packard on my desk, on that 9 to 5 shit?
Nooo, this lust for life, love her to death
Will she become my wife? Can’t think of any prenupt she’ll like
Till death do us part, I’ma hug her tight, never let go, I’m klepto
It’s mine, took it back like retro, I can smell that green like pesto
Am I in it for the money or the music? Everything I do it’s like I gotta prove shit
And they thought I couldn’t spit? No mucus
Keep my beats (beets) so cold, produce shit
One time, two time, three time
No goals will fall by the wayside, no strings attached, no bassline
No North Korea, they’ll never take my soul (Seoul)
(Hook)
Yeah, so I’m at work, right
And this woman says to me
“What is your fallback plan?
When do you say to yourself, ‘Alright it’s time to quit, make some money? When is your deadline?’”
As if this is a distraction, when in reality…
Everything else is a distraction
