Ab-Soul - Mayday lyrics

This shit right here is like heh
This, this shit right here is like
The calm before the storm
Like little kids playing in Japan
Before Hiroshima got bombed on yo

I'm sick of holding back
Jay told me go harder
How else am I gonna prove
I'm the number one author?
Sometimes I wake up in the
Morning mourning for my father
And the more I think about it
- the more I get stronger
It didn't kill me
It contributed to the growth
I take five dollars - contribute
It to the smoke i rather get high while I'm
Living at the bottom
But even when I rise, you'll see my red eyes
Like the last flight to the night
See I done soared through the
Air like fighting a knight
I've seen bad times, and I cherish the good
My sentences give life, man
Fly me a kite if you would
I'm so introspective
All it took was a pen and a little reflection
But what does it to take to be number one?
Will one of you motherfuckers
Please answer the question
I'm starving out here
And I haven't prayed to God in so long
He'll probably try to charge
Me for a blessing, am I wrong?

Hold on, mayday
Ab-Soul, you driving them crazy
Ah ha! Fooled you
No matter how heavy the situation
We pull through
Yeah, yeah I do it for the love
I do it for ya'll
I do it cause I'm the one
That's it, that's all

I never gave up, niggas want me to raise up
But I'mma kick it 'till my
Fucking flower bed's made up
Tear a fucking stage up every
Time we hit a venue
Eating all rappers - Vibe magazine
Is like a menu
Shall I continue? You said yes didn't you?
Seven star general, all from being lyrical
Cause how is it that what I'm
Saying give you a visual?
I promise all competition candlelight vigils
Quite the individual, deliver the mayhem
Like swine born in the springtime
I'm borderline psycho
When I come up with lines to bite your
Fucking face off
Ya'll ain't trying to face off
Ab-Soul, divine with the rhymes
Bring sight to the deaf and
Sound to the blind ya'll do it for the
Light intertwined with lime
I do it cause on the mic ain't
None of ya'll better top Dawg, y'all mice
Taking all of ya'll cheddar am I right?
Fucking right, yeah!

Hold on, mayday
Ab-Soul, you driving them crazy
Ah ha! Fooled you
No matter how heavy the situation
We pull through
Yeah, yeah I do it for the love
I do it for ya'll
I do it cause I'm the one
That's it, that's all

'Cause 2010 I'm trying to ball nigga
Like shooting jump shots in the mall nigga
Cause my skies are gray
You could say I'm a goose in
A pond of some hard liquor
I tend to go overboard with the metaphors
Still walking in the shadow of my team
Jay Rock finna blow - 2010 fo sho
And K-Dot and C4, but what about me?
It's kind of hard to say you top notch
Parking your bucket in front
Of your mom's spot
Still getting dime bags on credit
Girl wanna go out, all you can afford is IHOP
It's fucked up right? That's where
I'm at with it
I'm finna crack like a egg hatch, stand back

Hold on, mayday
Ab-Soul, you driving them crazy
Ah ha! Fooled you
No matter how heavy the situation
We pull through
Yeah, yeah I do it for the love
I do it for ya'll
I do it cause I'm the one
That's it, that's all

And in the midst of the bullshit
I'm still nothing to fool with
The type of nigga bitches wanna get cool with
Primarily cause of my future in music
They seen me shake Nipsey Hussle's hand
I hear them whisper to themselves
"he's the fucking man"
I do one song with Glasses
And I'm the talk in all
The high school classes
In the studio with Game
Just soaking up game like he's
Standing in the rain
So when I'm in the booth (Mayday)
Better yet, I'm finna make it my new AKA
Yeah, Willie B what up?
Shit's hot sorta like a temperature nigga
Keep it up
Uh, and please turn your speakers up
Cause Eric Wright couldn't make
It look easier rest in peace, my nigga
But since you've been gone
I've been killing these niggas

Hold on, mayday
Ab-Soul, you driving them crazy
Ah ha! Fooled you
No matter how heavy the situation
We pull through
Yeah, yeah I do it for the love
I do it for ya'll
I do it cause I'm the one
That's it, that's all
