Violas and Lupitas Lyrics

[00:04.75] I mean, if it was up to me, I'd give you jigs just enough money to function
[00:10.02] So when I see you guys with the, with fancy suits and cars and nice houses
[00:15.51] And I'm livin' in a fucking hovel!
[00:18.97] I mean, that bothers me
[00:31.46] Ayo, juke joint party lights lit the Harlem nights
[00:35.44] Peas and rice made a Judas out of Garveyites
[00:38.33] Mamis in the heights always call me nice
[00:40.56] Someone all his life, rolling dice that was dirtier than gaudy ice
[00:44.23] My only vice is fly merch
[00:46.29] My concert fashion gotta stay up to par, we doing God's work
[00:50.09] Forever dipped like Fonzworth
[00:52.27] And mines got bunions because I be choppin' onions 'til my eyes hurt
[00:56.13] The future brighter than cellos and violins fortified
[00:59.21] With eight essential minerals and vitamins on the side
[01:02.26] I'm overqualified, but I'ma come along for the ride
[01:05.02] With Q 'cause I been anticipating this homicide
[01:07.84] Never no matter like a vacuum now
[01:10.23] I turn your speakers in the back room to mushroom clouds
[01:13.24] We on that jet fuel, about to go to Neptune, wow
[01:16.22] That ain't a flesh wound, they 'bout to lay your headstone down
[01:19.30] I'm supreme, my jean jacket for the shoot was Jean Gaultier
[01:22.57] Philly, PA, we been gettin' ours the brodie way
[01:25.63] When it come to drama, I'm a young Sidney Poitier
[01:28.56] Y'all know not to sleep on me like Don Quixote
[01:31.60] Since the glory days like Springsteen, I been clean
[01:34.62] Any garment on me, that thing mean
[01:36.67] My inseam 32
[01:38.35] Get it, the king, they're not worthy to
[01:40.51] The legendary crew do more numbers than you heard we do
[01:43.44] So tell these chauvinist crabs it's over with
[01:46.05] I'm a globalist, rollin' that gas that's odorless
[01:48.94] Got the bad bunnies shakin' they asses low to this
[01:51.95] German motorist, cake and that cash could flow to this
[01:54.89] Toss the carry-on luggage to agree to my black skin
[01:58.41] Somewhere between Violas and Lupita, go ask them
[02:01.83] About the gatekeeper, world leader
[02:04.01] Kill shit quicker than Usain could run a hundred meter
