Daveed Diggs - Brave New Voices 2016 lyrics

When I say shoot, you say shoot Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Got a world wondering when it's all gonna burn Warnings are warm as the block is getting hot as a perm Get it straight my n***as ain't waiting for turns It's time to take it Our place in the line ain't a concern We trace our lines to the 80's where they threw out the razors Cutting the white on the table was for ballers and players Our parents still in the hustle burned the rock into vapors So hard demeanors when 80's babies gas on you haters An era defined by cracks and whether to slip into 'em We transmitted to the beat and Then we eat to the beats like communion Embody these wafers wavering wave at them with the rilo And stay so deep in the cup We drink blood and call it mosacto What up gansta You really want to bang your set When we rep gangs chained to tracks And swing raps like mallets Its arm and hammers built the ground For which these crews fight Though none of us own sh** so it's nothing to lose right You seeing this mobbin' on your television You can close your eyes, but you're gonna have to listen The mouthpiece is a gun, the speech is the ammunition Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) The camera's are rolling, and the lights flash The footage is golden when the night's clash Capture it quick, we livin' the life fast Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Yeah real sh** n***a Out here fingering the k** switch The bills k**ed a n***a in the DOA So when the repo came and sent me Cobain I made a bed of bones of all the rappers I admire So that even when I'm sleeping I can still find inspiration in their fall Because everybody fall off I'm at the fiscal cliff face, jumping with a sawed off Shoot all these fake fly s**ers it's now all's lost anyway So we can parlay with this molotov co*ktail mixologist Rock sales, and bottom b**hes, co*k fights And n***a riches, rock ice, and tunnel vision Eyes front, focus forward, feed the phenom Your attention the game can change I will father invention Me and Miss Necessity got a thing going on I keep f**ing that chick til your new style is born You seeing this mobbin' on your television You can close your eyes but you're gonna have to listen The mouthpiece is a gun, the speech is the ammunition Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) What up The footage is golden, and the lights flash The camera's are rolling when the night's clash Capture it quick, we livin' the life fast Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) And every Sunday morning we play dominoes with d**h Counting spots upon the table Slamming bones with baited breath Knowing it's not enough to build a house The n***a to your left has the four fold Waiting for them snake eyes to surface Here surf s**, there's sleep aid to the infinite insomnia A whole generation awake immune to marijuana Cause that's baseline and that's nice But the angles are never right And we spangle the red and white With the stars and blues we write I been howling wolf and sheepish grinning Look beneath the beating, bleeding, seething city See we've all being G'ing since we were teething And while searching for the meaning Misdemeanors of the fleeing folk Running while holding still Cup of purple posture leaning And poets postulate posthumous The who, what, where and why But the how escapes us all because our souls are too old to cry So we banging the best we can And we doin' it looking fly And we celebrate independence by shooting guns in the sky You seeing this mobbin' on your television You can close your eyes, but you're gonna have to listen The mouthpiece is a gun, the speech is the ammunition Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot) Shoot (Shoot)
