- My dude Nemisis Beats is the producer that I have the most chemistry with right now. I think I'll have 30 songs produced by him by next year. This is a popular sample out right now. I’m in love with that progressive/dubstep genre, so that touch up makes it so much better for me. I wanted to come out spitting, but still doing something melodic and catchy while being lyrical. I wanted to come out right away and sound like I was doing some raw shit while switching it up. Ness Lee is an artist I signed to the label I'm dealing with via Phantome Digital. He's from ATL. He honestly told me my verse intimidated him when he heard it and then he comes out and tries to ether me, haha. I love how this song came out and it has a lot of replay value. So far this is a lot of folks’ favorite song from me. We went through a lot with this track with the mixing process but we got it done right. It’s a nice change of pace and something different that people aren't used to hearing from me.
lyrics
[VERSE 1: Nino Bless]
Bright Lights, mind’s right, was on borrowed time now I’m owning it (oh)
Seizing that moment, the stage is mine I won't fold a bit
Was sitting calm, then they cranked my motor, shit
Move over quick, put the onus on my shoulders, and i'll carry us, to where we
Gotta (go)
(Roll) like, I’m the last hope, feel like Eli with that Book in his hand
And I’m that close, means more a than boast or a rap quote
Fast-forward, now they calling, where I'm going
No one's gone, this far, but all I know's where I belong, the evil staying, Babylon
YOU sprinting in a marathon, I’m pacing, you ain't lasting long
Mic-Check, pass it on, it’s life and (death) - that'll cover what I invest, like
Who can identify with these bags under my eyes, STRESS
And no matter the obstacle, i'll never oblige i’ll suffer at my expense
Paying my debt, I outta recoup, so here it goes the moment of truth
YOU, see me and think I'm going en route, not knowing the pain I'm holdings
Acute
Against the grain, I’m full in pursuit, can't hate my game, you gotta salute
Now ya could refuse, but I'm double O seven chased, now they following suit
(uh)
[VERSE 2: Ness Lee]
I float through the crowd, sober, crown over my brow, lowered down, its finna be
Instant ham
If you don’t know my style then its going down... Instagram
I’m focused now with a fully extended attention span
And now its finna be open house so when the shit hits the fan then it hits the
Fans
I been on the bubble just had to get rid of a glitch in the puzzle
Ain’t gone let no idiot get me in trouble, so now when I flip it I get it in doubles
And everyone with me is willing to struggle, they'd rather be in it and digging with
Shovels
We went independent to get it, we did it and dented it, dig it just switch up your
Hustle
The modem might slow the motor aight long as my motive's right
I know this dime named “Success” I bone her but never stay over night
I rolled the dice me and Nino aligned, be flowing alike
We making a toast to life, we're here, poltergeist, in front of you, overbite
Shouts to Twenty-Four, he said you cannot be afraid to sing
And I’d be still doing that if I never even made a thing
Not easily faded, like pre bleached jeans, and my seating arrangement is peachy
King
And not being debated its been this way Weezy made it bling
