Antone - Late Night Convos lyrics

[Intro: AnTone] Yeah. Welcome to the tape It's your boy, AnTone. Let's get it [Verse 1: AnTone] Yeah. Late night convos looking at the cosmos I'm on my grind repping for the Mexicanos Since when did we stop being Americanos? I'd say you treat us like sh**, but nah we just the compost We gotta make a statement, man. Ya nos vamos Ever since that one Father made gritos y llantos Stand up for something greater. Subcomandante Marcos We don't need a dictator tryna start embargoes I don't need a repeat of back in middle school Feeling incomplete and still subject to ridicule Everyone thinking that my problems are so miniscule But I know that I'll solve em as soon as I finish school Different lines, same mentality After 11/9, I'm in a different reality Turning people away. Where's the damn hospitality? I still got family begging for the nationality [Verse 2: AnTone] But is it worth it? Tell me that you see it too Most of them hardly working, but we do what we do The president leaving the blinds on so we can see through But let's stop with these politics Most of these rappers nowadays don't spit honest sh** I gotta take the time to spit on this sh** Just to make the point that it's really redonkulous I hear that kids in my hometown getting shot and sh** I might fast a bit just so they can stop the sh** Ghandi said fight fire with pa**ive resistance We live this one life man - let's go the distance People get so triggered; man they can't help but stare They just wanna toy with me and say that they don't care There's a boy in me that says that maybe I shouldn't share But people dying everyday. Rest in Peace to Javier [Verse 3: AnTone] I'm gifted like Bach in his prime f** a Decepticon, boy. Optimus Prime I'm living real life; I don't need Oculus eyes I'm tryna make six figures, making opulent dime Don't talk to the cops cause you left obvious lies I talk to the mike only with the sauciest lines You're like an old Cheetoh leaving lobbyist ties Living in Trump Tower where the insomnia lies But in disguise, I'm another average dude Making music, and track five's another interlude Get straight to it, Putin and Trump prolly in cahoots And some of my generation doing molly and shrooms Oddly, it's true. I'm even shifting my point of view Cause now I'm making money, and it's my coin to use My time to choose to rap flames or just to enthuse Cause you tryna light matches up when I just light the fuse [Verse 4: AnTone] I'm in the tighest debt you can imagine Even if I was rich, man I wouldn't buy a mansion I'm all about the craft; man I'm all about the pa**ion Man I'm trying to add some Nikes to my old fashion Nowadays these young kids growing too damn fast It's not about who gets it faster; it's about who's last Cause they the real ones tryna make their lives last It's a decade in your life that you just ran past And there's no way of going back Every single Thursday everyone is throwing back But you don't really have a year to throw back to You can't relate to the posts that we react to I'm still as young as they come - I still got a few years I'm tryna to make it but they still just tryna grind my gears Do you understand all the pain through these tears? Cause if you do - I guess you understand all my fears [Outro: AnTone] So TIWKIA. T-I-W-K-I-A It's an acronym. It stands for The Idiot Who Knows It All You know, I... I claim myself to be a little bit of a know it all sometimes You know, in college, me being a little boujee Me being a little narcissistic, if you will, at times But I also really don't know anything Like does anybody? Does anybody in the world know anything? We're all idiots, but then again, we sure do know a whole lot of things Just playing on that, that contradiction I guess
