1 Day In NY
[Intro]
Hahahahaha
So y'all still want that real hip-hop, huh?
Well, let’s go
Now, what I need you to do is turn this to the max
I am the mash out king DJ Skillz, you know the vibes, right?
Yo, Rapper Pooh, let get 'em!
[Verse 1]
Yo, this is what it's like when you hear the beat
Standing room only, packed house, not an empty seat
What a feat for some niggas up east
In the belly of the beast, no radio plays
No Prince Dajour waves, no Ed and Dre faves
This is straight up out the trunk, motherfucker, we don’t play
Take it back to the stage, time to come of age
'Til you jump over this hurdlе, you will never flip the pagе (Settle down)
Them butterflies turn to subtle highs
I'm a little shy, but come to life under bright lights
These are NY city nights that you dream of all your life
To stand right where I'm standing, don't get caught up in the hype
(Settle down) Let me pay attention, did I fail to mention
I'm a little shy and all of this here attention
Got me missing (Let's talk about us, never mind, then)
Now I'm kicking this wack freestyle ’til the end of my verse
[Chorus]
High-energy, flowin’ with the wisdom
I was hypnotized by audio
Shocking like electrical volt— volt— volts
Rapper— Remember who you listenin' to
[Verse 2]
This is what it’s like when you hear the beat
Standing room only, if niggas would have told me
My only reply, trying to fight that tear in my eye
Imagine getting chastised at the age of twenty-three
(Should've known all of these songs, nigga) We in the legendary
Place where rappers sell their tapes downstairs
In the hopes of hearing cheers like the ones they adorned you with
'Fore we discovered you ain't even know your shit
(But your mans rapped your whole verse) Like he wrote it
I hear you on them records, though, you just quoted
Confidence eroded in a heartbeat
Dealing with anxiety while I’m sitting in the hot seat
This is gonna shake me, I can't let it break me
What it did to my esteem, though, kind of crazy
Back against the wall, was never scared of the work
But I would be a liar if I said it didn't hurt
One day in NY
[Chorus]
Flowin' with the wisdom
I was hypnotized by audio
Shocking like electrical volt— volt— volts
Rapper— Remember who you listenin' to
