Oddisee, Tranqill - Worse Before Better lyrics

Tranq on that ish again
Back to the grill again
No time for waste man
They bitch cause they feminine
Brown sugar, cinnamon
Just 'bout my women friend
Stay up on that cash ting
No hate cause I'm livin', kid
Shots if you on yours
Small drawers and top floors
Some love to hate, yo
Piss out champagne though
Everybody claimin' that money I
Feel they fakin'
While them constipated rappers be missing
Me with their bailiff
But, I'm right, I'm doin' me, damn, right
I'm doin' me
Stack pounds on pounds, so fams nice
We're jammin' (we're jammin')
Eatin' good, just like we always should


Know me and how I stay
Sucker free out the gate
Been up on my Jones, get money
Don't make it home
The streets is steady watchin', them bitches
They wanna bone
Frienemies, they be plottin'
I pray that I make it home
Just know I'm always ready for the ride
Like right

Worse before better, worse before better
Them men, they don't peck where I'm from
Brought down, get up, knock down, get up
If you're on my vibe catch a vibe

Just a little flex like, boys wanna test like
I don't know they're fake
And they go on dates with a flesh light
Comin' to you live from the
County of Prince Georges
Where men learn how to live cause
We're comprehended what death like
Product of the wishes to jump
Up out of the ditches
You better learn to step right
We don't believe in no forfeit's
Yeah come correct like every day
Is my best night
So let me get the check while
You bother to do the dishes
I'm smarter than you predicted so quit
It before you start it
My presence raised the rent in
The buildin' 'til you evicted
Keep up the pace, keep up the chase
You don't like me when you sight me
Best to keep up the face
I run a lot that you don't know about
Showin' out'll get you thrown out
Free up the space, go on out
I'm diggin' in the trenches to
Relax in the Sun
Romancin' when the tragedies done one

Uhh smart way smarter
Way smarter than your average bear
And y you gotta get
That right off the tab, like you
First things first, listening to Oddisee
There are
Just a couple of things you're gonna have
To acknowledge that are gonna go over
Your head like just get ready for
That, like him - can I
Can I throw Blu in too? Can I put
'em both in kinda in the same thing?
They're both on the list knock yourself out!
Him, him and Blu, him and Blu I feel
Oddisee and Blu are two dudes who I
Think are great for the "rewind
Factor" in Hip-Hop i think we've
Lost we've dumbed it down
To the point where we want things to be like
Super simple we just want everybody to
Get it and these are two dudes
Who I don't think really focus
On that like I don't really think
They focus on you getting
It i think they'd rather have you
Keep up with them like actually
Use your brain for more than
A hat rack and -and
You know go ahead and keep
Pace with what's going on
In the music and if you need to rewind it
Rewind it there's no shame in that you
Need to look something up
Look it up there's no
Shame in that but like as far as like
Where the concepts are gonna
Go and and uh, you know, what
The lyrics are gonna be like
Blu and Oddisee are like a couple of
Dudes who really hold that mark solid
And I think the only only thing
That keeps them from being bigger
Than they are if that's even like
I mean not that that - I
Don't mean to insult them in any
Way, shape, form, or fashion
But, I think the only thing
That keeps them from
Being mainstream is the fact that they won't
Dumb down like they're still
Fighting - I don't
Know if it's even fighting the good fight
