The fan-favorite combo of Angle and Ptate continuing the discussion of generational differences in hip hop. Respect is paid where respect is due.
lyrics
Angle Verse 1:
Hey young world, I know the grown folks been getting on you.
Talking ‘bout, “Be ghost. Get out my genre.”
Don’t let a hobbyist crack the chink in your cockiness, it’s obvious,
That Primo’s godliness, but not copping an audience.
Different Strokes for different What you talkin’ ‘bout Willis’s.
“Don’t know nothing much ‘bout, some syrupy-ass mush mouth.
Ok, it’s been debated. Whether it’s elevated or faded or masqueraded,
DJs done played it. Love it or hate it, it’s a product of a product and we made it.
Yeah, we made that. Too late to take back. We can’t erase that.
Water under burnt bridges; path of least resistance.
Drugs and cash; the math that feeds the business.
Saying, “Everything was overrated. Don’t care what the year was.”
Rally ‘round the disrespect and mix it for your earbuds.
The things constant are change, and a reliance on a cycle of defiance.
It’s science dropping how life is.
Chorus:
Turn this mutha out.
‘Cause we can’t even feel that funky sound.
And every time you turn it upside down,
We can’t even hear what you’re talkin’ ‘bout.
Ptate Verse 2
Chorus Repeat
Angle Verse 3:
Dead in the middle, literally. A little epiphany hit me.
We riddled to kids that didn’t do diddly. It’ll be,
The flippantly, spitting dizzily that instantly,
Sickens the industry, missing brilliantly vivid symphonies.
You getting me? You thinking differently? The story trilogy?
Dipsticks too quick to bring infantry to the infancy.
Stole your money at lunchtime and now they spending it.
Disown your seed, but that’s your bloodline and lineage.
Chorus Repeat (2x)
