lyrics
Voicemail:
"Yo, what up nigga. It's Papa J. bro. I hit your line up man, I had to dial you up bro. I missed your call and shit, I'm out here chasing the dollar sign. You already know how it is, slow feet don't eat. You know my speech. I hope everything good bro. Had to hit you back up, make sure everything's swell. Fuck the rest, period. You know what I'm sayin? If I don't pick up the line, you already know what the business is. I'm out here trying to get mine. So it's all love baby, get yours. Hit me back when you get that free time, yep. One" - Papa J. Ruiz
[Chorus]
Hold up
Let me feel the breeze aye yay
I've been drifting through
The corners of these streets
And lately I've been thinking
Bout the buildings and the pyrex
Make my momma prouder
Free my niggas form the projects (2x)
[Verse One]
See this is what they vibing to
The game aint been the same
Since Papa J. and Poe been on the loose
Some liquor for my partners
Pray I never have to bury more
If I had a baby boy
Just know I want the best for you
[Bridge]
"People change around you, because they start treating you different because of your success. So you are changing. You don't change who you are, the core of who you are, the things that you believe, the things you love, and the things you'd die for, and your principles. You don't change that, but you're going to change who you are. You're gonna change, you know. You can't do the same things, you can't go hang on the corner. Some people may not be comfortable with that. And it deals with the other side of success, how people look at you when you're successful. 'Media meddles, people sue, you settle. Every step you take they remind you, you ghetto.'" - Sean "Jay-Z" Carter
[Chorus]
Hold up
Let me feel the breeze aye yay
I've been drifting through
The corners of these streets
And lately I've been thinking
Bout the buildings and the pyrex
Make my momma prouder
Free my niggas form the projects
Hold up
[Verse Two]
Just let him feel the breeze
They send him back to prison
He aint never see the streets
And all he wants is justice
For the crimes he done committed
Know he did a couple wrongs
But not enough to lose his children
[Chorus]
Hold up
Let me feel the breeze aye yay
I've been drifting through
The corners of these streets
And lately I've been thinking
Bout the buildings and the pyrex
Make my momma prouder
Free my niggas form the projects
[Verse Three]
See this is what they vibing to
The game aint been the same
Since Papa J. and Poe been on the loose
Some liquor for my partners
Pray I never have to bury more
If I had a baby boy
Just know I want the best for you
Just know I want the best for you
I've come to rejoice in witnessing him finally finding his footing, and standing firm on his square. He is, in my opinion, the sound of the culture once all this mainstream noise quiets out. VON POE VII
I spent my early late teens and 20's listening to Hus Kingpin and SmooVth, back when they went by "Tha Connection". It was very refreshing to see them come together again, and drop another classic. VON POE VII
True Masterz, a group I'd consider a modern day Mobb Deep or Onyx, except Megallah (formally JMega The God) does all the flowing over productions by MighGawd. Peep their catalog. VON POE VII
