Illy - Opening Night lyrics

Live and direct us, Crooked Eye directed
This life’s like a movie
These opening credit's
Nine times as epic, white lines for breakfast
Low lives in presence
But the highlights is hectic
As I level measured up here
With giants and legends
But, I built it myself
Just minding my business
Fuck I’m high as the jet is
Shit I’m flying forget it
Shit I fall from grace
But shit I climb from the wreckage
Ain’t here to smash it, what you here for?
Shotgun summer cause suckas hit the rear door
Long as I hear applause, cheering me on
They like Illy, Illy, it’s yours, kill it
Kill it let’s go, sure I don’t see why not
ONETWO my own label, now the deals signed off
I’m a franchise player, put my home team on
We toast to the winners with
Our own theme song
And ain’t no match for it
Y’all act like it’s an accident
Me and Phizzle smashin’ shit
It’s arrogant but accurate
Four discs deep, they can wonder how
With all respect to the underground

We put it down my brother, black suit
Black tie cue applause, kill the lights
Welcome to opening night
We put it down my sister
We composed that score
Making silver screen records while
They scream encore
And it’s real beyond reels, way beyond stills
Motion picture shit, like we put it on film
We roll, we roll, we roll, we roll
We roll, we roll, we roll, we roll

Ain’t shit changed but the year
And the album name
And the album number and the label
And the standards way up, anyway
I ain’t been gone that long
Still missed y’all fam’
Couldn’t keep me from it
I promised to be right back, so here I am
Run a track get a canter
And they still can’t keep up
With the pace I set
Matter fact they ‘bout to get lapped
And already blessed with the
Grace to accept it
Never that nah man never that
I don’t rush I’m prolific
I don’t give a fuck if they different
They just lazy, at a snails pace
Still lucky they finished
Still leads us to the hoops they credit in
For how I got ahead of them and I’m like
Hmm actually that’s probably true, fuck
Forget it then i’m a competitive son of a
Bitch, I got enough friends
Fuck what you think
I’m on that IL-L-Y ONETWO tip
No respect if none’s deserved
No glory if nothing earnt
With that I present to y’all the Nexis worth
Of verses of my words
Rest assured, fourth time lucky, 2013
Viva la un deux dios mio, bitch we

We put it down my brother, black suit
Black tie cue applause, kill the lights
Welcome to opening night
We put it down my sister
We composed that score
Making silver screen records while
They scream encore
And it’s real beyond reels, way beyond stills
Motion picture shit, like we put it on film
We roll, we roll, we roll, we roll
We roll, we roll, we roll, we roll
We put it down my brother, black suit
Black tie cue applause, kill the lights
Welcome to opening night
We put it down my sister
We composed that score
Making silver screen records while
They scream encore
And it’s real beyond reels, way beyond stills
Motion picture shit, like we put it on film
We roll, we roll, we roll, we roll
We roll, we roll, we roll, we roll

The camera’s pop, snare’s snap
Record’s crackle
Serial cinematic’s capture every angle
Peel that curtain back
See them wheels churning
Poetry in motion my dream works
I’m Spielberg’n
And I Tarantino the flow, lotta slick shit
Pulp fiction adrenaline hit that dope
Flatline then back to the living
Sh-Sh-Sh-Show of my life, hold your applause
Welcome to opening night
