Sol - Stakes Still High lyrics
[Sol - Stakes Still High lyrics]
Uh, Sunrise sunfall
Same place, yet I made it so far
Same name, but I changed through the art
And my own brain going through
A third world war
The money that I make goes
Straight to my pocket
Then back to the music
So the artist still starving
You're truly the reason that Yours Truly
Was the album that I made
And not popcorn for profit hands high
Reach for the sky back spoken for living our
Computer jail lives
You can share what you want all allowed
But is the life to live
When you walk outside?
I heard it through the grapevine
Don't wait on the sign
Before you change your mind
88 Street dogs racing by
No lie, yo, the stakes is high
Yeah, the stakes is high
Yeah, yo, the stakes is high
Uh
Yeah, the stakes still high
The stakes still high
Yo, the stakes still high
Said the stakes still high
The stakes still high
Yo, the stakes still high
Uh, these days cats will die for anything
Preteen rats going gas cap on anything
If you seen outside the box
You're not industry
Everybody's autotune, tattoo, skinny jeans
This is not a hate song it's a love song
This is not a rap song it's a pop song
Straight to your jaw leave you on the floor
Waiting for the count
With your headphones on
Too confusing
To try to fit new music into rap
Too many influences
And illusions to the past
And you won't even catch
Even half James Baldwin
Down to the mountain top and back
Bags packed off the map
Twenty stacks you ever get off of that?
Good god cats get off of that
'Boutta bring it around the world
Had to send bob and back
International swag make up a dance for that
Get your hands out your pants and rap
This is different its time stamped
Realest shit that ever while they lie
Cause the stakes is forever high
They forever high
Same place, yet I made it so far
Same name, but I changed through the art
And my own brain going through
A third world war
The money that I make goes
Straight to my pocket
Then back to the music
So the artist still starving
You're truly the reason that Yours Truly
Was the album that I made
And not popcorn for profit hands high
Reach for the sky back spoken for living our
Computer jail lives
You can share what you want all allowed
But is the life to live
When you walk outside?
I heard it through the grapevine
Don't wait on the sign
Before you change your mind
88 Street dogs racing by
No lie, yo, the stakes is high
Yeah, the stakes is high
Yeah, yo, the stakes is high
Uh
Yeah, the stakes still high
The stakes still high
Yo, the stakes still high
Said the stakes still high
The stakes still high
Yo, the stakes still high
Uh, these days cats will die for anything
Preteen rats going gas cap on anything
If you seen outside the box
You're not industry
Everybody's autotune, tattoo, skinny jeans
This is not a hate song it's a love song
This is not a rap song it's a pop song
