[Intro: Ché Noir]
Yeah
Uh, yeah
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Yeah
Look
[Verse 1: Ché Noir]
As a kid, was wise
Could be poor with the richest mind
They say penny for your thoughts, but I'm giving nickels and dimes
Wisdom bold when you old, but it sold for the Fisher-Price
They can't tell if it's off the dome, if I'm using a pen or type
Witness crime, she gon' steal from a baby to get a high
Fiends on cloud nine like crack was in the sky
Rest in peace to my brother and all of my friends who died
They talk to me in my sleep, only time that I get advice
f*ck peace, when it's time to survive, I'm with a knife
If it's war, then it's eye for an eye, I went in blind
Got enough bars for bitter bitches, I'll end your life
Misery loves company, nigga, come spend the night
Taking medication, it's hard controlling my thoughts
It's written poems in my heart
Niggas ain't know I was smart
Took a pencil and every word that I wrote was a bar
And these rappers couldn't see me if I glowed in the dark, nigga
[Chorus: Ché Noir]
Uh, never had it easy, it was hard
We started with less, grinding, selling CDs from the car
Niggas thought I was yawning 'til they see me with the sharks
You small-minded 'cause they never think we getting large, yeah
Five exes, from Pyrexes to sky dwellers
Trust, I live and stand by them five letters
Five exes, from Pyrexes to sky dwellers
Trust, I live and stand by them five letters
[Verse 2: Jynx716]
I'm a motherf*ckin' hustler and I knew the rules when I chose to be one
Times, it can be fun
Still can make a call if I need one
2018, caught that felony, my first time was a D1
Still on paper, but my PO know a good guy when she see one
Happy to be here, you know I just wanna compete
Slide through the city, they lookin', I know it's somethin' to see
Honest with hoes, I just tell 'em, "You don't want nothin' with me"
My side bitch get it, be asking me 'bout what number is she
I see the way y'all move and can't help but think that it's ass-backwards
Different levels of trolling, you niggas got mad tactics
Know they short 'cause everywhere I look it be mad rappers
Got every excuse in the book and the book is like mad chapters
I think I did this all by myself, but it took a team
We gon' come up off of hustle or niggas might gotta scheme
I'm from Niagara Falls where I hope they don't give up on the dream
I might get the key to the city and give it to a fiend
At some point
[Chorus: Ché Noir]
Uh, never had it easy, it was hard
We started with less, grinding, selling CDs from the car
Niggas thought I was yawning 'til they see me with the sharks
You small-minded 'cause they never think we getting large, yeah
Five exes, from Pyrexes to sky dwellers
Trust, I live and stand by them five letters
Five exes, from Pyrexes to sky dwellers
Trust, I live and stand by them five letters
[Outro: Ché Noir]
Yeah
Poetic Thoughts
Poetic movement
Yeah
Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, what's up?
Yeah
Upstate New York shit
Poetic Thoughts ain't just a label, you know? It's a—
It's a way of thinking
It's your mindset, you know
Be honest, some of these niggas—
Just off the way they think, man
Some of these niggas don't even need to be in my presence
Just off your mindset, you know?
Poetic Thoughts is—
It's all about mental elevation, you know?
We all about elevating
Some of the way these niggas thinks, man, don't wanna coincide with them
