Lyrics to Rainbow Bap
Do you see it?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
(Uh-oh)
He was a lost boy with rhythm
Heart broke, SYRE has risen
Look at the stars
It's all written, just hold the applause
I'm just gettin' started with it
It's not hot enough in the kitchen
They sayin' it's lit
I guess I'm the one thinkin' different
I'm slick with it, a lotta change
Man, I'm Slick Rick and I don't pivot
I'm like Pippen hittin' six swishes in six seconds
Autonomous whippin' with whole colonies are poverty strickin'
Young nigga they ain't stoppin' and drippin' the way I dribble the rock
They gotta watch how the rocks are glistenin'
Blood diamonds, ancestors fightin' with colonists
Know your history, inherit the confidence
It's apparent and obvious
I'm the young KRS in your providence
And this air that we're breathin' is conscience
Every lyric is prominent (I feel it)
Just another cold mornin' in Paris, I know
I wish I was takin' you home
But I ain't takin' the long train no more (Too far)
You don't care about me and it's tough, girl
And I'm tryna feel your love but I'm not fucked up enough
Man, what a pity New York City lights glow
How many times do I gotta tell you niggas I'm home?
Girl, I ain't finna lie you gorgeous
We should go to Malibu, let's go to Florence
Rainbow on your aura
Girl, you soakin' up the sun like a tourist (Okay)
Another place she didn't explore
I'm trickin' and I'm tellin' her things I'm not sure of
Cancun to Angora
Couldn't find more of a wavy baby
We endin' our month in Bora Bora
All this time and you still on my mind, yeah you know
(Yeah)
Girl, I ain't tryna leave, I'll be right back (Why?)
Left the crib without the top, need a nightcap (Yeah)
I'm just lookin' at the stars for my path
I'm serious and get with you, the lyrics all facts
They pop off, you tell 'em, "Relax"
I drop off the bars and dash let the sunset in the back (Wow)
And the boy's light as a feather in fact
At least we can be together now forever but if we could fly through a pink sky, we would never go back
Just another cold mornin' in Paris, I know
I wish I was takin' you home
But I ain't takin' the long train no more (Too far)
You don't care about me and it's tough, girl
And I'm tryna feel your love but I'm not fucked up enough
Man, what a pity New York City lights glow (Why?)
How many times do I gotta tell you niggas I'm home?
We was seventeen years old
At Cartier, we had a cop
Flowing in my room, it made feel like I'm an astronaut (Astronaut)
Niggas mad, how I, acrobat the vocabular
And they whack, these facts just ain't adding up
I'm back with the math raps, like the boy invented the abacus
Less of a rapper more of a strategist
Gotta know that money can't buy happiness
You gotta have a long arm still in the hills throwing up charcoals
Shit ain't changed, nigga, I'm still the saddest kid up in the game
Think about you, girl, I do that every day
Thoughts I was havin', blew that shit away
When I call you, I just don't know what to say
Just another cold mornin' in Paris, I know
I wish I was takin' you home
But I ain't takin' the long train no more (Too far)
You don't care about me and it's tough, girl
And I'm tryna feel your love but I'm not fucked up enough
Man what a pity New York City lights glow
How many times do I gotta tell you niggas I'm home?
Higher the view
I wish you could see how it feels
Took three shots, don't drip-drop
Quick one-on-one, thought I'd never last
Do the math, baby do the math
I've been waitin' for it, since I seen you live
Say you down for it, down to ride
But I called a cab and
Girl, I know you smilin'
Movin' away for a while
Oh girl, your actions don't speak loud and clear
You lonely, [?] and you cry that I know
Fucked up, say you been since I seen you
[?]
[?]
Baby girl, you're lying
My pillow seen me cry all night
Make peace with you, I try
I never got to say goodbye
I'm somewhere in the sky
Singing twisted lullabies
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
(Uh-oh)
He was a lost boy with rhythm
Heart broke, SYRE has risen
Look at the stars
It's all written, just hold the applause
I'm just gettin' started with it
