iNSTANT BROTHERHOOD Lyrics
1. Final Fire ft. ps perkins - Produced by Larsy Vegas (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
What up Vegas
What up Boston Mass
What up Amsterdam
New England and the DMV
The torch high it’s the Final Fire
QUO: Immaculately crafted in these halls hieroglyphs
Born a translator the vocabulary’s obvious
Throw your arms later when the beats is the catalyst
Mind the word labor retrace back to AVLIS
Got the old hater buying back at my establishment
Lit the torch May 21st, 2020 bagging up your purse
Cuz I hearse with a chariot
No dirt for my Harriet, it hurts so I tally it
Finite things off the cross when I carry it
Premo suits in the booth, then I marry it
Kilos cooped for a keynote Activist
Trolls in the feeds hire them you tested accurate
You weak off the words I take them to inhabitants
The Frontline with me red dots on contaminates
Quotables over punchlines call the ambulance
Atmosphere bright “Expletives” off the amulets
PRO: Hands and wrists stay lit with the amethyst
Dripping’ ambience from the sconces with the candles lit
Cancel riffs real quick like a hammer click
My mans and them come dumpin’ a couple cans upon ya canvases
Box cutters coming out, we doing the candlestick
Been winning them competitions since before the Dracut Heritage
My fame is leverage, obtain all the extras
One expert still remains all except for the vain expletives
Spit flames while you drain your main beverage
Skill level obtained, untrained your brain will hemorrhage
Just my average is so far from your maximum
Subtract em, even my math skills can’t even fathom em
Difference between us is steep as elite geniuses
Trying to teach some caveman to read what my recent thesis says
All of my drip, you should feed it through intravenous
And watch them Hip Hoppas come back ta life with no weaknesses
What up Vegas
What up Boston Mass
What up Amsterdam
New England and the D.M.V.
The torch high it’s the Final Fire
What up Vegas
What up Boston Mass
What up Amsterdam
New England and the D.M.V.
The torch high it’s the Final Fire
p.s.: How did this happen
Who created this wretched travesty, passing itself off as life
How did it move
From Father, to son, to son
All sharing the same block
On the block
While doing time on the rock
Insouciantly, regarding the world around him
Long ago relinquishing, his throne of royalty
Subjects, scattered through global channels, of shackled disbursement
Swept away by Kingly decrees of worthless worth
Bearing generations of a burdened birth
No longer able to retain
Trying to maintain
Struggling, to regain
Knowledge
Internalized
Necessitating
Greatness
K.I.N.G.
2. Freedom Corner ft. F.L.Y. (Forever Lives Yahweh) - Produced by Legendary Soundworks (Freedom Corner Brand) (Jackson, Mississippi)
QUO: I’m on the Corner Free riding with my CLIQ N them
Before Atlanta Mississippi hit the map off of discipline
Decibels at the table thinking labels made of Timberlands
Recycled off the majors quarantined I’m in the crib again
Playing Daddy, School teacher and a Hooligan
I’m on salary not married but I’m rudiment
The Queen cheers so its Cheers bottles moving in
That’s weekdays, long nights videos all Peruvian
A big Dream texturized on the podium
Reflective vibes hope you feel what I sew in them
We on books, former crooks tall castles no linoleum
It's no Church but I preach on this flow we in
The Temple is my mental, so the Soul is detrimental
When I hit the instrumental with the pen don’t use a pencil
You understand the code so conversion is eventual
No diversion I’m essential
PRO: You can place me in a versus with these rappers that’s hot
And I will place them in these hearses in the back of a box
Got a catalog that stretches like a Jack in the box
Underground I am Legend—the original plot
Thought provoking how I’m poking embers stoking the flames
Freedom riding on some Stokely before he changed up his name
Changing the game, my whole education was lame
Medgar Evers, no one ever even mentioned his name
Martin either, even him, barely a quarter a page
We learned nothing bout that Corner where that Freedom was laid, a shame
Now, many corners where there’s MLK’s
Boulevards grilling hard, still things ain’t changed
Is we supposed to leave the hood or is we supposed to refrain
Tryna play that Eric Spoelstra era post King James
Spit flames how we handle that Heat, gripping that rosary
While getting our Omarion doing it how it’s posed to be
F.L.Y: Freedom Corner, Free from the Corner
Bout to get it poppin’ like corn it's a warm up
Had the ultimatum like my name Jason Bourne, but
Changed up my life cuz it was jail or the coroner
My life is like a movie I ain’t talking Time Warner
Spirit got me speaking different language like a foreigner, yeah
Cold summers and the winters getting warmer
So I’m really out of pocket like a young Kurt Warner, I warned ya
Only judge a book by its chapters
Pencil dat epistle ‘fore them pistols leave em captive
That melanin is gold so I’m knowing what they after
You only live twice so I’m living for the afterlife
All Christ no need in being subliminal
The way I’m killing beats you would think they would ought to be criminal
New Era, but no Kap and I got that bag in the intervals
And its blessings on blessings, gotta know that harvest is plentiful
How you feeling how you doing thou
Instrumental hit the studio
Truly more than making music so
Fam first stand firm for that freedom Quo
Plans work we immerse with the jury thou
How you feeling how you doing thou
Instrumental hit the studio
Truly more than making music so
Fam first stand firm what you doing Pro
3. StereoType ft. D.RightWay - Produced by D.RightWay (Chicago, IL)
QUO: Check you in the sky, then I tip that fifth
Empowerment, not a powder sniff
Entitlement, not no power trip
Koh-i-Noor crowns on some diamonds spent
Take it by the horns we all ride with it
Haters transform in their irises
From La to the C’s to where the islands is
Saints vs. the demons whose side you with
Convert you real quick, we endow that flip
Short change turn to stacks that’s the vibe you get
The ProQuo family got them Grammy slips
Big business type rocking Iversons
Kamala Timbs for my girls fashion finer things
I give the world to old earth, that's my mama's win
Your perception all wrong you reflecting with a king
That's direction in the song, see I find it from within
PRO: Live in stereo, who’s anchored down the lines since Scenario
With cameo performances enamored since Arsenio
Comin' into America, y'all think it’s like them videos
Stero-types we got all types up inside our cities yo
Cause many many got them viruses
Downloading what they shouldn't on some pirating
Not only on that music some want violence and
Welcome it in their parlors while they smiling
You'll find them in, places wouldn't think at all
Looters to school shooters, capitals at the mall
Rap ain’t all y’all thinks it’s cracked out to be
The industry filled still many all looked cracked out to me
No doubt to me, this whole games about to be
Switched up on the flip and how we think bout drip
Zooming out with ProQuo calling out class-sick, cause they all classics
D: Flying higher than pilots you can't ignore
In the strip with vibrations that's deeper the ocean floors
Showing lightening when speaking it through the core
I'm exciting cause I'm rapping with people who's seeing more
No inviting the haters forever snore
Why you sleeping on the greatest I'm bringing that rugged raw
Nasty rhymer, when I spit I'm in a great place
Mount Rushmore you’re looking at a great face
I'm straight cool when I speak ice in the lake
I Jay Cruz on a beat, we run a great race
I never lose to the weak my mental shape great
I'm thinking bigger till obesity is OK
Food for thought the perfect dinner with a whole steak
To police with agendas this a whole case
You try that with me it’s a killa spree for four days
Killin’ emcees, stereo-typing live in bold face
4. Gravity ft. DJ Slipwax - Produced by Mekkanic aka DJ MEKK (Germany)
QUO: Born a trail blazer set a trend on going major
Make a move player better guard it like I’m Tatum
2K style get the opal dominate them
I boogie down and hold a crown your record faded
Bullies in the basement shake your hand before the payment
She Trullies on the cameras bare footed when we hanging
Aquafina bottles we been sweating since the pavement
Holding down reality that’s in my affidavit
Pull it out of space so when it's dropping it be banging
The half is everything you get in layman
I Rap ships yo the cash on Invasions
Might never adlib cuz what I’m sayings’ so amazing
Rights tied to my kids, Wife set, that’s elation
Yea, keep a hundred hibernating get some Kane stimulation
Here to change what you bang on these stations
Hit the vein put the blame on rotations
PRO: I am the alpha and omega, Hellenic begin and ending
I been focused on ascension, instead of only what's trending
Blending, effortless water-like, Newton's laws, when I drop the mic
70s 80s baby a product of what I watched at night
Caution lights, si no quieres problemas
Put theories on paper, revered by both the indies or majors—my neighbors
Making gravitational waves through record labels
Reaching out from one hood ta the next like jumper cables
Some are able and want our vision, the problem is
They only Wanda Vision in the bubble like Scarlet Witch
Author Harlequin novels not probably feeling ya
But when I'm on Malcom X, in Harlem probably stop at Sylvia's
Sold, that's soulful-mill-we are, Do fa La Familia
Firmly in my nature, ProQuo so familiar
The growth's linear, exponential our strategy
Constant among the masses, Pro's that G like Gravity
PRO: We-down with the brotherhood, bump it in every other hood
What's good Quo, Pro, find me all in your mother's hood
Both out the Da Ville still reppin’ from Winter Hill
By way of the coast of Cambridge, made famous them Lowell Mills
Now, chill in the Capitol, "the" P is capitol
Ro-capital Q-uo you know the show's magical
The, mathematical Prof, the biographical
Sats leap off these charts, that’s facts like z axis is
QUO: Soul jumping off the masochist thru the master bus
With these additives hold me to my adjectives
Move around the earth with Brotherhood semantics its
Only right my team be catching nice assists off the mic
5. Dive In It ft. H.3.N.D.O. - Produced by Josh Minor/Major League Beats (Florida, USA)
H: My mind and my spirit are really divine and I’m fearless
I’m coming out live and they cheering
I ride with my peers, if you try to disguise your appearance
I never will try to come near it.
QUO: I got that double edged sword
Ancestor talk Ark Angels at doors
Ghosts in the darts soul channels dial 4’s
Before rap I had my mind on Forbes
Pen and pad throwbacks, fires in the forge
Better friends with more laps
Run you off course might be slipping off the frost
Hells hot we the source—Michael with me
That’s some Obi type Force, tribal with my homies
Got X’d no Cross, valuable you gotta know me
Liable to sink the Rolly, half of me is never Holy
The animal is out, instincts still control me
Want the handle on a pout, heads or tails on the pony
Is the hammer coming out, hanging trophies in the house
Playing oldies checking routes, holding rosaries in my mouth
No EBTs for groceries, man that cheese is for the mouse
Thee example for my seeds, soul provider for my spouse
Spiritual physique, diamonds all over my scouts
Give you 1,000 degrees, build the Arc, flip the drought
H: My mind and my spirit are really divine and I’m fearless
I’m coming out live and they cheering
I ride with my peers, if you try to disguise your appearance
I never will try to come near it.
H: My mind and my spirit are really divine and I’m fearless
I’m coming out live and they cheering
I ride with my peers, if you try to disguise your appearance
I never will try to come near it
I stayed in the trap with boys who was making them racks
With nothing but weight and a mask, then I separated from that
And low and behold everyone put a blade in my back
But I’m not trippin’ or looking to get even
I sit and I pray for my demons
Cause everyone who ever thought I would fail
Is looking for ways they can sneak in and lanes they can be in
And I kindly deny it from you, there's no way a snake can reside in my group
You try to put tridents in all of my titles and moves—what were you trying to prove
PRO: For the sake of simplicity, say I'm divinity
Body not Carrie-Anne Moss like I'm Trinity
Gauntlet—iNFiNiTi, probably not many be
Thinkin' that Prof is the perfect identity
Back to the enclave, Bruce in the Batcave
You can bring a bat, land-down like Fenway
You can bring it back, swing swords like Sensei's
Everybody got a Stan, Marvel at the pen-game
Carol Danvers—this that End Game
In a snap, write a rap that will penetrate
It will accelerate, pick up ya meta-rate
No one is better with these darts I disseminate
On the Interstate, NY ta Beantown
When I'm in a rental, automatic that I freestyle
DC now, like Oliver Queen
For that green in a hood, leave you all over Queens.
H: My mind and my spirit are really divine and I’m fearless
I’m coming out live and they cheering
I ride with my peers, if you try to disguise your appearance
I never will try to come near it.
6. iNSTANT BROTHERHOOD ft. DJ Slipwax- Produced by Mitchel Drickx & YungKo (Netherlands)
QUO: You create your own fate see
Remind myself I’m only good as what my tapes be
Been rhyming over rhythms for a while its one take B
Dialing up the FaceTime, the purest MC
Wilin’ over here surviving presidency
Lifestyle changes off of thangs we can’t see
You all covered up, I’m unclothed all free
91 to currently my son’s the energy
Physical flaws testify the best breed
Intervals pause time to keep it OG
My essence too deep, no sleep too identical
Forgot unique lost sight of the general
You hear Cruz and go to church all week
Rain fire over each one of these beats no cheats
HipHop election here
Pro told me that my lyrics like the best of years—say Cheers
PRO: Yeah, that there that's my brother though
True fam same vibe different mother though
Sick for years no tears never suffered though
Immunity, split from the herd we them buffalo
Y'all haven't heard take the word but discover though
Once Dr. and a Beast come together—Mark Ruffalo
The upper glow out the east blow the cover though
And I ain't superstitious, but I'm bumpin’ Stevie-wonder though/
If we receive them keys like Khaled
In the same keys of life could we harmonize the ballads
Y’all know the skills from the superficial battling
But once we dig through the depths it gets staggering
True swag is on the in, had to master it
The reciprocal, superficial’s just masking it
See Pro then you see my glow
See Cruz, Each Other’s we them CEOs—my brother
7. Grandma Stories ft. Love Jones, Henry Lord Plourde & Remi (ProQuo Kids) - Produced by Prete Rosso Beats (Mitchel Drickx, Jordy Simmons, & Roland Sipman) (Netherlands)
QUO/ALL: Oh Grandma, I love you
PRO: Our Grandmothers
You’re lucky if you get two
Our Yaya’s, Nana, Meme
QUO/ALL: Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I called you
These memories we talk through
Remind me, She will always be
Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I saw you
These memories we walk through
Remind me, She will always be
PRO: A Grandmother that’s a blessing through the afterlife
After your Mom if you're lucky enough to have a wife
That’s several women and my brother’s if you have a seed
When they older, sit em down tell em have seat
Leave em their lineage, write it down finish it
What you remember is forever don’t diminish
Bear witness and provide that testimony
Rest of the story’s being written, give em all the glory
The allegory is the same for our children’s kids
My mom’s parents, first household where I lived
As a kid, spent the bulk of my time there
My own room upstairs since the highchair
My great grandmother, brought her home died there
Out them projects from Lawrence, Mass—no time share
How mine faired? Dorothy Georgeopoulous
Died at 75 throat cancer in the esophagus
The whole topic is still hard to write down
Nearly 20 years ago, still feels like right now
I lie down every night and your still there
Grandpa- he misses you, he sits in your chair, yeah
And I’m right there sitting in the kitchen with him
Sit and listen wish it was real but he’s no longer living—either
Little Peter, in Greek, he called me Paniyotis
So I love going to sleep still see them always.
QUO/ALL: Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I called you
These memories we talk through
Remind me, She will always be
Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I saw you
These memories we walk through
Remind me, She will always be
QUO: She saw me and she said she my pops
Different era’s same mistakes but understand the cost
Homies hold me down so the violence only shots
Curb my tongue for this rhyme so nanny hear me understand my thoughts
Born in blood wipe it clean tryna be the boss
Learn to love we above what we see or not
And it never stop, taught be a legend raised by a lot of women
Fought through depression no pills my mental’s living
Locked in these bills keep it real I'm onto selling
Want a pad and a swing set before she see eleven
But the bag and the tag’s like the worst type of weapon
These phones and these clones only looking for a mention
I came from retention long lines pay attention
Off the islands true lies no affection
And when you start to dream big you probably need the most protection
The father figure in my real life
Bout to translate twice luckily my man’s right
Those two wrongs took me down that the heir of light
I felt the force see the signs coming every night
Always down to fight, salute the circle now we keep it tight
Producing virtue keep it real mama raised me right
QUO/ALL: Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I called you
These memories we talk through
Remind me, She will always be
Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I saw you
These memories we walk through
Remind me, She will always be
Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I called you
These memories we talk through
Remind me, She will always be
Oh Grandma, I love you
Remember I saw you
These memories we walk through
Remind me, She will always be
Remi: Grandma, hello Grandma
Henry: I love you Mama JJ
Henry: Oh Mama JJ, I love you
Remember I saw you
These memories we walked through
Remind me, She will always be
8. New Bap ft. DJ Slipwax - Produced by Larsy Vegas & Mitchel Drickx (Netherlands)
QUO: It’s New Bap, Chapter II
PRO: This is that new bap music—A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap
PRO: Whenever I throw down, the pronoun, these days, its Pro now
My ascension from these Lows well known that's my hometown
Born as Peter Michael Plourde, before the teaching
Was more of a Blue-collar worker for that Paper-boy I'd sweep the floor
Was seeking more, started teaching on my first tour/
Word ta Something' Different some were Shallow but not Lord Plourde
See what your missing’s, Something Different, them the dancer’s names
Shout out ta Chickie, Tron and Shallow—that's my homey Dave
We played New England Schools
Sure, we had a single cool, but never knew
What we really had was the ear of the youth
Was wearing the truth on my sleeve on some fashion statement
My style was boom back-pack new jack aspirations
Motivational speaker I'm thinking teacher now
Finish college rocking Smith College with the Teacher now
That's KRS, that Blueprint for that boom bap
Now I'm that Professor they call Pro on that new bap
PRO/QUO: This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap yeah—Mass Rep Heavily
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap—New Bap—Mass Rep Heavily
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap—New Bap—Mass Rep Heavily
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap—New Bap
QUO: We collaborate across the nation
Wrote some lyrics let them marinate they say its fornication
They heart the feeds a lot that might just lead to domination
I left the greed by the parking lot I’m on this train racing
Got some beats that took me over now its migration
The titles new bap cuz the trap lanes all taken
I’ve been patient got the features and I’m still chasing
Met some like minds created brotherhood now we all adjacent
The war paths in the past got my daughter in the bath
I work harder nothings trash
I want college as an option that’s math
All basics, don’t want to switch faces, it’s 100 all me
Never want to trade places
If its first or its last, I’ll always cuff these vibrations
New Bap, Yeah
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap—Mass Rep Heavily
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap—Yeah—Mass Rep Heavily
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap yeah—Mass Rep Heavily
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap—New Bap—Mass Rep Heavily
This is that new bap music
A couple dudes from Massachusetts who Rap—New Bap—Mass Rep Heavily
Henry: Daddy

Are you going to come downstairs now
PRO: Yeah, I am
HENRY: Look at my tiger
PRO: What’s your tiger doing
Your tiger’s beautiful
HENRY: Do you like it, look
PRO from The Focuz is Back scratch: Mass rep heavily, Beantown to Beverly
I’m Mill City born and bred, my flow’s heavenly
9. I Wasn’t Nothin’ ft. DJ Slipwax - Produced by M-Dot aka Jake LaDotta (Boston, MA) & LP2 (France)
QUO: It's the sure shot, make the metaphor drop
Hanging on to something since I grew up on the block
People take you down and break it down to what you got
Looking at your feet, calculations getting dropped
Listening to beats we tryna break up out the box
Losing lots of sleep cuz we be doing what you not
Fueling all my heat these winters cold up in the spot
Gassing all these sheets when I be speaking off of top
Supplying for these streets I ain’t Bigger without Pac
I be lying to you each if I don’t tell you with the Scotch
I’m either trying or I’m dying when I’m riding over chops
Think I’m flying and I’m crying over everything I mop
When they was telling me I wasn’t nothin’
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that’s how we function
Ride or die, that’s the only thing we trust in
When they was telling me I wasn’t nothin’
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that’s how we function
Ride or die, that’s the only thing we trust in
PRO: If y’all know the mathematics is sick, and Pro’s the nastiest
Then what’s the reason Y—you would cross me like X axis
Is you out your mind, when I rhyme, weaving a narrative
Conceived more clean since probably Jesus of Nazareth
Now, what you seeing’s the second coming of Lazarus
Lyrics fit for museums, lines cover pages like atlases
These Mary Magdalen feet cleaned with no calluses
Went from them street teams, to sweet dreams in palaces
Swinging the X-Caliber swift, lifting these chalices
Dippin’ these feather pens into ink thinking up passages
Had no talent for rap and my class average was
Falling deep in the labyrinth, eating sleeping these battle raps
My math aptitude, evident since the third grade
With verbal skills ever since then—murderous word play
Mostly my attitude only thing ever challenged me
That’s why I show my faculty gratitude when they challenge me
QUO: When they was telling me I wasn’t nothin’
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that’s how we function
Ride or die, that’s the only thing we trust in
When they was telling me I wasn’t nothin’
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that’s how we function
Ride or die, that’s the only thing we trust in
QUO: My Dean passed me through the School system
Spit rhymes in the classroom everybody different
D minus to an A+, Mass finest pull the grades up
I don’t want a day once tryna buy today’s lunch
Lenny told me blaze up before your days up
Figured how to raise the maze up I probably praise luck
And y’all drinking, Morpheus hands and y’all thinking
Glorious lands where man's driven, Pluribus bands seeing addition
Multiply facts subtract all of the subscriptions
Bonafide raps react to the truth given
34 C’s on the line rock swishing
MC’s I look for anything missing
Just be’s need to see the seven seas in collision
Can’t believe superstition got degrees in the kitchen
Deadweight mortician, Featherweight hard hitting
It’s a Cruz expedition, Cruz Line through the threads that I’m stitching
Blue lines, cocaine not envisioned
Red lights, no brass on a mission
QUO: When they was telling me I wasn’t nothin’
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that’s how we function
Ride or die, that’s the only thing we trust in
When they was telling me I wasn’t nothin’
I called on all my brothers and my cousins
I never lie, to me, that’s how we function
Ride or die, that’s the only thing we trust in
ProQuo
10. Chandeliers (How We Do) - Produced by LP2 (France)
PRO: Yeah, Lyrical,
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do – yeah
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do – extravagant
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do – y’all already know the locale
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we doe
PRO: Pro is that soloist, known to go from Assistant to Associate
Started flowing with Quo cause the fit it was so appropriate
Plus we got a show for them Citizens dope as opiates
Progressive programming promoting artists, exposing em
Y’all Nickelodeon rappers, salty as sodium
While Pro be giving out quotes for keynoting these auditoriums
My “bars alone are”—Olympic Gold at the podium
Now say that bar slower and notice what pro be showing ya
The most provocative co-hosts, co-operative
Brother, Father to Motherhood, supportive of all our Goddesses
The flow’s positive, provoking these novices
To go from pro-bono, to closing concerts at conferences
Giving our audience everything that they ought to get
Autographs automatic—in person, virtually—holographs
That’s No Doubt on some Gwen Stefani no Hollaback
Cia like Chandeliers till we re-appear like the Pontiac
PRO/QUO: It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do – chandeliers after millions
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do – chandeliers
QUO: Reminiscing on these memories, benediction while I am presently
Switching on all of my enemies—kill that they half my melodies
It’s real rap around parenthesis, chill back, switch these energies
Rem’s lapped learning chemistry, watch your imagery
A new pap, grown men defending family
Boom bap, we marching heavily, the canvas on some simile
Like canvas laid for Timothy, the candles lit, so when the lights quit
We shining definitely, chills in every breath of me
I play your body's symphony -Check the choir
Walk your destiny, I’m twice the man I’m meant to be
Every bar a centerpiece. pick it off the lemon tree
Authentically involved in my identity
That’s why you ate the fruit—Pro said I’m the truth
That’s a doctor dropping science so you know the math compute
The magician laid my foundation, built me out the booth—raise the roof
Cathedral ceilings in my feelings, chandeliers after millions
Lyrical engineers architect appealing
Amazed by the children, affected by the flow that I’ve been giving
Selected by the polls, facts and opinions
Measure what you stole, unload, you forgiven
The shades drawn stop banking on a wish
Escape the hustle that was carrots on the fist
It’s lettuce on the plate, rent paid up to date
401k 6-5 the escape
The Safe-net ain’t a tape deck
It’s what you doing on your break
When you laying in your room and permanently contemplate
Or throw your finger up and live the life you tryna make
ProQuo
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do – chandeliers after millions
It’s how we do, it’s how we how we do – chandeliers
11. He Prays ft. F.L.Y. (Forever Lives Yahweh) - Produced by Genesis7 (USA)
QUO: Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
Hit your knees real quick
PRO: Let’s skip the pleasantries, I’m more about that action as the remedy
To me, that’s that heavenly blessing, I question everything
With faith, that it will work out, I works it mentally
Cause deities to me, have never been really about that equity
Create my destiny, watch the world open sesame
Since y’all been watching Sesame Street, on beats obsessively
Professing these gems in the streets, before my specialty
Spitting mathematics in class, my raps is therapy
Incredibly rose through the ranks with growth steadily
My comrades falling off to felonies like leprosy
Treachery and jealousy catching up something terribly
Many brothers, questionably gone, them John Kennedys
Been an accessory longing for them accessories
Long as Nia Long’s been Butta, been had the recipe
Word to my enemies, I heard them say
If yall ain’t praying in this game, y’all better be ready to be prey
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
QUO: Hit your knees real quick, get blessed cause I be that slick
Ya mouth on pout where I see you think
EQ the words we don’t need that drink
Fight through the urge, grown man instinct
Its consequential that I leave that rink
Armour loaded with the kinks, so I feed that sink
A Lot of tears rap pain, shorty need that mink
Self over ery’thing I see that link
Ghost leaving footsteps don’t need no shrink
Been the pill before Phil that’s the book I print
Run the court like Phil that’s the mail I sent
Evy’thing kept real 90’s tip
No grips with the lit Beelze’ fear my writ
Close my lips say a prayer then I do my shhh
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
F.L.Y: I pray and I don’t mean predator
Bombard heaven hoping God help me level up
Say they digging God till it’s time to pick the Shovel up
Faith and no work is like etc etc
Young Roger Federer I’m keeping up racket
Balling like I’m in that NCAA bracket
‘Member when my only meal was the ramen and the packet
That’s a thing of the past like a Pelle Pelle jacket
Wanna know the tactic believe what ya asking for
More than just a rapper he’s an ambassador
Could’ve been a trapper but I don’t need the back and forth
Now I just finesse away from Bull like a matador
I know what they mad for it don’t even matter
Got the adversary p’d off like a bladder
Hit em with the flex making hits like a batter
Climbing to the top and I don’t even need a ladder—I pray
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
Get Down
He Prays
Hit your knees real quick
12. The Devils Dancin' - Produced by Larsy Vegas (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
QUO: Approach the verse like we at church, scope the perps
Mira first need I curse
L hex em all the woes at work
Poles and shirts guns and turfs blunts and syrups
In my stirrups gots to make it hearse
She gold skinned a white earth
The most grim that’s a ten pay a nurse
I lay burst with inertia
It’s complex the context of real nice
A bad flex a high price
A lear jet the facts twice
Af’ life act right, my pens tight connect mics
Your windpipe recite Cruz
All quotes bring life, all quotes bring life
I'm day and night sun and moon, wolf and sheep a young shepherd
Above the tomb, making room your sons reckless peep the metrics
The son’s necklace on these presses
Say a prayer believe knowledge off a tree for thieves
Judas by the branches
PRO/QUO: The devil’s dancin’
On the floor now
The devil’s dancin’
Knocking at your door now
The devil’s dancin’
Evr’body on the floor now
The devil’s dancin’
Knocking at your door now
PRO: Whenever you in a good place, better believe the devil is dancing
The Good Place, no one believed the devil was Danson
Got good taste, many have paid a devil's ransom
While simply thinking they hanging up a Rembrandt in the mansion
Judas Repentant Returning Them 30 pieces of silver now
You doing that music, trying recouping feeling so foolish now
Who's in town, you better be ready to pay the piper
Pit vipers-spit venomous, don't let em inside of your cipher
Them Charles Manson’s, from the advance, and at the outset
Got you doing their dirty work, lookin' all handsome in their outfits
Still doubt it, stayin devoted you been since the onset
But your dog is not your amigo, when he's deceiving you word to Offset
Time to divorce that, mindset, with the Rorschach
Test by leaving this ink all over the paper than I record that
Tally results, removing the doubt, then take my chances
The devil was all in my head instead now Lord Plourde's whose dancing
The devil’s dancin’
On the floor now
The devil’s dancin’
Knocking at your door now
The devil’s dancin’
Evr’body on the floor now
The devil’s dancin’
Knocking at your door now
QUO: Yo I’m fiendin’ halt my demon
Flow leaning on the cement biggest dough is where the C went
Young business, and you seen it
Funds in this and the sinners always meanest
Lung fitness it's a prenup, hit Texas on a team up
And we grilling after beat up, told shorty get the 40
And the family hold the key up, Mercedes or a Beamer
Lil cousin got the Prius, and I’m on my way to see her
PRO: When I’m in the rhythm and I really want to shine
Show me the son who is hotter than I
Butta forever the messenger I
Whether in a button up suit or a tie
Y’all don’t really want me to go off the head
Cuz you know when I flow I’m a show off the lead
Pb on the periodic tables
Periodically see P on the tables
With the written word, got stills that’s fabled
If you haven’t heard, you will get disabled
Six vinyls, five on my label
X to iNFiNiTi that’s that cable
Put the check in the mail be grateful
Cruz never really been a brother who’s hateful
Jesuz in the booth stay faithful
Locked in the lab bracelets on the ankle
13. Baggage Claim ft. BLKDIVA - Produced by LP2 (France)
PRO: By the time you hear the record checking in at Turks and Caicos
Wheel of Fortune winnings, Punta Cana spinning pesos
Pro Progress, no I’m no novice
Singles like vinyl siding aligned in my home office
So stop it, look there’ s no topic
Unexplored for Plourde my ops is myopic
A couple plaques on the walls, just for the optics
Degree in Economics, pay dividends stock options
And when I’m visiting citizens wanna cop it
Give it my Will Smith, when this superhero Hancocks it
Hand ta hands, we can throw blam or cock it
Get popped like pop smoke cause my fans are so toxic
But don’t smoke like pilots in the cockpit
Lungs must stay aquatic ta flow like broke faucets
Nonviolent as a rule but don’t cross it
Cruz got on the jewels, but dudes I'm no nonsense
I’ll turn the cheek but once and then I’m boxing
Body you in a bag, that won’t fit in that top bin
I'm locked in, so begin the diagnostic
If y'all don't believe in the God—you'll die Agnostic
QUO: By the time you hear the record I’ll be passing by the Eiffel
Jesus on the necklace Cruz going for the title
Demons off the metrics, scaling with your idol
Always with a message Masterpieces in my bible
United for the leverage be eternal real survival
I provided off the premise let you see and start to follow
Yea, and I’ve glided through my senses so the census is bravado
Grinding thru the inches saving minutes for tomorrow
Carry over lyrics every chapter for the novel
Peaks and valleys then the rapture what the motto
Authentic, no gimmick, self-made not timid wide open get in it
PRO: Had some snakes in our lawn, had to cancel them frauds
Spit that Mongoose flow y'all can’t handle the bars
Tryna question, Lord Plourde, y’all gonna answer to God
Bruh, that’s not a good look like you in sandals and thongs
Y’all know my spit game’s upper echelon beyond a thick chain
Fast like, moves on the street, making that quick change
I made a quick change like Clark in the booth
Now I target that youth and come talking that truth
No marketing boost and Pr is out of my reach
Unless I'm chilling on the shores of some tropical beach
In San Juan with warm sands, where waters are clear
I'm positive dear, won’t find me with no bottles of beer
I'm vegetarian ain't probably what you thought’ed you'd hear
This ain't no gimmick, I been this way for dozens of years
My cousins and peers, my family my team and my squad
Sure as Ray Allen's Jesus—throw ya 3's for the God
QUO: Oh lord say Plourde how you get him on the record
Light saber no sword, guess we both futuristic
Round table billboards hardcore altruistic
Tongue razors mic cords son you know we go ballistic
But ballistics always missed it yellow tape around artistic
Messages from Chuck D so Adidas laces missing
You know how I run me, DeLoreans all over sketches
Catch some Bun B, I don’t mess with Politicians
Knowledge Over Everything K.O.E. over precious
Break molds into S’s, black mold ain’t an essence
Unfold over crescents, that mean the wolves out, hungry, questions
We just pull the soul out, mummies, weapons
I’ma call the cove out, bubbly, blessings
Then I pump the cloths out, left right ambidextrous
Just to get the gold out Crypto coin the message
PRO/QUO: Get that bag, let’s get this baggage Jay
Get that bag
Get that bag
You need to get that Bag
Get that bag
Get that bag
Get that bag
Get that Bag
Get that Bag
Get that Bag
Jay Cruz, he gonna get that bag
Get that Bag
Pro L, he gonna get that bag
Get that Bag
ProQuo, they gonna get that bag
We out
14. Apologize - Produced by Legendary Sound Works/Freedom Corner Brand (Jackson, Mississippi)
REMI: Dad when are you coming Daddy
Daddy, where are you
QUO: I miss your company baby you know I’d die for you
20 feet apart hardly paying any mind to you
It's so real tryna balance all my time for you
Woke me off the couch, I fell asleep writing these rhymes to you
Yea, the trust factor so big,
Eating dinner with the kids saying Daddy on the grind for you
Putting them to bed while I’m working off my head
Out late all faith, Shen I never lied to you
Till we dead the legacy survive through you
Can’t wait to walk the big isle with you
She says she hate it when I talk a lot
But love how that pearl Compass sitting in the parking lot
You my whole world Queen home is my Camelot
Yo, Remi vying for attention, Ryha looking for it too
This road to excellence depressing when you all about your crew
I write a testament investing into things I never knew
PRO: My apologies, I know this Hip Hop Probably
Stole a lot of time all these rhymes—armed robberies
Sorry we ain't hit it big like the lottery
Giving it my all, heart & soul, every party of me
Apologies, I know this Hip Hop honestly
Stole a lot of time, all these rhymes—armed robberies
Apologies, got me switching up the policies
Giving us that quality time, I'm finally promising
PRO: Listen carefully, I remember times you were there for me
Tryna make it better but I never wanted therapy
In all sincerity, I always been there for you
But I was raised no emotion, play it careful
Rarely gamble, afraid of being hurt by
Any woman so I always played the tough guy
Since High School, Hip Hop and I cool
Prince Poetry—Pro busy writing Haikus
Before the girlfriends, lips on a mic grill
Pretty young things ta me's a song by Michael
Sure, I liked you, and I loved my family
Relationships failed, few understanding me
Hard for me and I know it was hard for
You still in love with the culture and art form
But not more than my family and my life now
My wife and my son that's my heart put this mic down
HENRY: Dad I love you
My apologies, I know this Hip Hop Probably
Stole a lot of time all these rhymes—armed robberies
Sorry we ain't hit it big like the lottery
Giving it my all, heart & soul, every party of me
Apologies, I know this Hip Hop honestly
Stole a lot of time, all these rhymes—armed robberies
Apologies, got me switching up the policies
Giving us that quality time, I'm finally promising
I Apologize
REMI: I love you Daddy
15. Buy Buy (Even More Live Remix) - Produced by Legendary Sound Works (Freedom Corner Brand) (Jackson, Mississippi)
QUO: Here's the flare of a gentleman
A ladies man cuz I was raised by ten of them
It's all love being blind is the synonym
Daps, hugs, Yac with some cinnamon
A few thugs, changed up cuz the diapers made a middle man
We don't hold a grudge, but the mudd made us militant
Cleaned up for a decade, minimum-wage mindstate like a Sensei
Cuz when the rent's paid, and times made, you think about a Bentley
Escalade to an elevator in a sky scraper
I chose family over paper, last thing I do is violate ya
Took it out my old nature-repeat words that lift you up after they penetrate ya
I'm a switch it up, lifestyle all different, in the kitchen on a cut
That pick you up and narrate ya, we gone live it up, so Buy Buy hater
PRO/QUO: Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Good
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater–Buy Buy Hater—It’s All Good
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Good
Bye Bye Hater—Buy Felicia—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater—listen, Buy Buy Hater
PRO: Serene scenery, lush grounds and greenery
Surrounding me, now I be the artist I always dreamed I'd be
As a Young MC, everything came easily
Been eating off this Vinyl-Delicious press it repeatedly
Heavy machinery, turnin' tables extremely
In opposite directions till labels seek me exceedingly
In lavish eateries, mall shopping when meeting me
People be taking selfies of me with their fam eagerly
Say Cheese we Caking, from Factories rose meagerly
Blue collar acknowledge my growth as a scholar leaving these
Mills unwillingly, skills finally fulfilling these
Dreams I always had since a lad just watching Disney
This wasn't destiny, put in that sweat equity
Showered off Glad as Malcom; 10,000 hours the remedy
I read everything, now my name's in parenthesis
Cited as one the writers whose done it right with integrity
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Good
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater—Buy Buy Hater—It’s All Good
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Good
Bye Bye Hater—It’s All Love
Bye Bye Hater—Buy Buy Hater
