Glue Traps (feat. Quelle Chris)

[00:01.88] For a sip of cold water
[00:04.67] Until it all over

[00:11.89] Real money's whatever's in your pockets when you're broke
[00:14.17] 'Cause for that last twelve twenty-five, dog, you don't even wanna know
[00:17.73] Don't prize fighter past my prime, so it's gon' go how it go
[00:21.45] No dives, though, this deep water, can't just hop out the boat
[00:24.95] Haram on the shirt, damn right I want that pig smoked
[00:28.20] If it's good work, only need a couple tokes
[00:30.81] Recidivist, never gave up hope that we could move that dope
[00:33.95] Hold up, let me pull your coat
[00:35.61] What a profit a man to gain the whole world if he don't have time to gloat?
[00:39.33] All white crowd? I laugh at life's little jokes
[00:42.85] Some of y'all never got up at the crack of dawn to go to work for the low and it shows (Good for you, though)
[00:47.54] It's hard to get out of bed when there's glue traps behind the stove
[00:50.60] Bulldozers in the olive grove, soldiers switching to civilian clothes
[00:54.75] Every story tell a story that's already been told
[00:57.61] Everything's dead and gone, we only had the name of the road

[01:00.05] Stretch a little, take a little more
[01:02.79] Stretch a little, take a little more
[01:06.08] Dying today, with a little something mourning
[01:12.64] Getting over, everything half price when he told her
[01:15.92] Shopping cart rolled in, load her down
[01:17.70] Meat man pulling up in the lady barber
[01:20.48] Three suns on Fulton, beef, pork, chicken, shrimp
[01:23.44] Work is work, be smurt, said it only gets harder
[01:26.61] Hardest working for your people, you be your own, send my regards
[01:29.99] Keep your garbage out our garden
[01:32.51] I scrub concrete with bleach water in kitchen whites
[01:35.49] Wash my hands a thousand times a shift
[01:37.56] Flip what's hid behind the pipes, it's only right
[01:40.29] Name a price, body, mind, spirit
[01:42.27] Feel it in your warmest void, behind and under
[01:44.57] Tweed and Corduroy, looping moving pictures
[01:46.92] Chicken backs and gizzards
[01:48.52] Crack your skeleton, it's Baby New Year
[01:50.48] Cross-town traffic, hop out on Gates and Green
[01:53.01] Black derby, not Nate Dogg with the pinstripe, step light
[01:56.28] Bay rum in the air, there's a word for that
[01:58.44] I'ma yearn it back, there's a word for this
[01:59.06] (Stretch a little, take a little more) Tippy-tap
[02:02.29] (Stretch a little, take a little more) Tippy-tap
[02:05.79] Down today

[02:10.81] I did it, mama, I did it, papa
[02:13.15] Avoiding hungers had big spots
[02:15.37] Rolling stone moss, don't touch me like soap on white folks' legs when they wash
[02:18.81] Or a colored Kente cloth
[02:20.69] Your subgenre's DaVinci-core
[02:22.40] These thoughts sound like pumpkin spice for these boys
[02:24.89] Stress got me at a height, smoking, pointing like grapeseed oil
[02:27.88] Turn the soil, left to kick the dirt, but I'm way too loyal, way too cool
[02:32.13] Gotta strip layers like working through nursing school
[02:34.39] Second coming of nice, we Birth of Cool
[02:37.05] We hula hoop with the ring of fire these guys are jumping through, nothing new
[02:40.82] Tears shed for the bucket of dual soap
[02:43.32] So fuck it, can't be stuck in neutral
[02:45.34] Zig, zag, ziggy, business as usual
[02:47.43] Gang runs on numbers and liars, plug is for hire
[02:50.10] Old bucks tryna get back on the track and youngins to buy up
[02:53.36] Plus most of these Yakubian products making dollars in the industry are simply DEI hires
[02:58.60] If we keeping it funky, keep it a buck

[03:03.25] What I expected him to be actually, was to be a militant
[03:07.17] In, in the line of Malcolm X, or, um, Martin Luther King, or, um, uh, Garvey
[03:16.69] And he was none of these things, he was simply a quiet, very conservative intellectual
[03:21.05] And he fit in very well, he got along very well with everybody there
[03:25.54] Um, I never quite understood why I was having problems
[03:29.32] Why are you smoking dope, why is, um, uh, all this discontented blah-blah?
[03:35.01]
