[Vince Staples - Radio lyrics]
I'd like to hear a new
Beat on the request line
I miss the radio
Big Boy in the mornin, zoned in
Waitin' for my favorite song
(My favorite song) ridin' with my pops
(Yeah) , in the front seat
Pull up to the block, with the real Gs
923, 947 The Wave (The Wave)
I know my real ones from the ghetto relate
(Relate)
I know they finna play some Nelly today
(Some Nelly today, yup)
My favorite rapper 'til I hit seventh grade
(Woah, woah) and Eron played "Below The
Heavens" and everything changed
(Everything changed)
A better day was just a stones throw away
KDAY would play the records
That my sister would
Say was realer than whatever I listened to
(I listened to)
When I got older, I realized it was true
(I know it's true)
The purity of when it's nothin' to lose
(Nothin' to lose)
Back when niggas had the rhythm and blues
(I'm all 'bout) i turned up my hustle, I
Turned up my section, i turned up my bitch
(On-on-on the radio)
I turned up my savage, I
Turned down they street, and I made me a hit
(On-on-on) just like music
(Just like music, We've been the
Music for a long, long time)
Just like music (Just like music)
Hey Mr dJ, can I make a request?
The woman that I love won't
Respond to my text (Text)
I broke her heart
I'm tryin' hard as hell to clean up the mess
I prayed to God above
But He ain't never say nothin' back (Back)
When we met
She told me she don't ever listen to rap
I asked her "Why?, " she said "No man should
Speak to women like that" i asked her "Why?
" she said "The woman is
The key to the Earth"
"And she the one that gives birth
" and she was raised in the church
So what you say in a verse
Means somethin' different, but to me
They just words (They just words)
Wasn't really tryna hear it
'til she kicked me to the curb
Now it's Smokey Robinson and after
That I play Roberta Flack
Etta James and Amy
Waitin' for the day she take me back
Michael and his brothers
Make me wonder 'bout who lovin' you
Brandy understand me, broken hearted
Sittin' in my room (Sit in my room)
I got a lot on my chest
Can you play my request? (Please)
(I'm all 'bout) i turned up my hustle, I
Turned up my section, i turned up my bitch
(On-on-on the radio)
I turned up my savage, I
Turned down they street, and I made me a hit
(On-on-on, I got the–) just like music, I–
(Just like music, We've been the
Music for a long, long time)
Just like music (Just like music)
On the radio
So, you wanna give your audience the
Best sound on the dot
(I got the– just like music, I got the–)
Cookin' up a lot of good music
Matter of fact
Twenty minutes worth of commercial free-
(I got the– just like music, On the radio)
Alright now
I'm gonna mention to everyone one final time
Wake up your friends and your neighbors
Because we have somethin' tonight that
We will be doin' that will be very special
Wake up, everybody, wake up
Beat on the request line
