The duo Andy Mineo & Wordsplayed, also known as Magic & Bird, return with “Shibuya Roll Call,” a fun, mellow song modeled after the Shibuya, often written Shabooya, roll call chant, of which the artists reprise the structure on their respective verses.
The song marks the duo’s first release...
[Intro]
Andy Mineo
Yeah
Yeah (Shibuya Roll Call)
[Verse 1: Andy Mineo]
My name is Andy (Yeah), I'm from New York (Yeah)
I'm Italian (Yeah), I got the sauce (Roll Call)
I love my wife (Yeah), like a lot (Yeah)
I had some debt (Yeah), I paid it, look (Roll Call)
Smart Water on my rider, yeah, I got a hard product
I ain't selling narcota, just bars with a lot of (Yeah)
Purpose for those who hurtin' my flow off or
Somethin' certain for those who's thirstin', it's cold water (I love you)
Blessing all my enemies, when it's beef, let us eat
If I send shells, they all filled with ricotta (Yeah)
When Bobby Boucher and Words say "O Se Baba"
Then we break bread like the challah (I love you)
Life goes, hit somebody with a real stunner
If it doesn't happen 'fore I go, that's a real bummer (Yeah)
Huh, the business card like a ninja star
I ain't tryna brag, that's to say I came really far
[Chorus: Andy Mineo]
If you got a dream, don't sleep on it, uh
If you got a dream, don't sleep, yeah
If you got a dream, don't sleep on it, uh
If you got a dream, don't sleep, don't sleep, yeah
Do it (Do it), do it (Do it)
What you waiting on? (You can do it!) (Yeah)
Do it, do it
What you waiting on? (Sh-Shibuya Roll Call)
[Verse 2: Wordsplayed]
My name is Words (Yeah), last name is Played (Yeah)
He kinda strange (Yeah), let me explain (Roll Call)
Loved by, many, secretly loved by more
Opportunity was late, so I went to its door (I love you)
Waitin' for it to open, it's taken too long
Feel like Jay in the elevator with Solange (Yeah)
I'll let them keep the bag, contracts, and finger food
I'll take my family a Emmy and a Nardwuar interview (I love you)
Wonder if the teachers knew I'd go from the school thot
To triple platinum on the TikTok (Yeah)
Still disrupting they classes, blessings to the masses
Check the data, I'm tryna get to one Rockefeller plaza (I love you)
Gotta keep on the lights
Till I'm comin' at 'em live on the Saturday night, like-
(Hit 'em up) Hit 'em up, watchin' them creep and then comin' up
Count it up (Count it up), look at the score, then we run it up
[Chorus: Andy Mineo]
If you got a dream, don't sleep on it, uh
If you got a dream, don't sleep, yeah
If you got a dream, don't sleep on it, uh
If you got a dream, don't sleep, don't sleep, yeah
Do it (Do it), do it (Do it)
What you waiting on? (You can do it!) (Yeah)
Do it, do it
What you waiting on? (Sh-Shibuya Roll Call)
