[Chorus]
If you wanna talk about the odds of a
Real OG in a world full of Gods
Same same, but different
And I ain’t no philosopher
But here we are
Dust from the past, yeah
Lost in the middle of a universe full of stars
Big Bang
[Verse 1]
I ain’t no wolf on Wall Street, I ain’t no Jordan Belfort
I understand I’m sort of corny cause I have pure intentions
Call me “lesser”, what is more important? Is all this effort wasted
If you ignore my story? I don’t mind - I’m okay, okay
Do me a favour, put your phone down
Hold the flame up, right where we can see it
There’s more than just the ceiling, the floor and everything in between it
Sometimes it’s like my sky is falling, I’m sure you know the feeling, feel it
Things move in cycles, assume the position to loop through the spiral
We’re like a needle, ride the grooves in the vinyl, indeed
“Boucle de rétroaction”, pardon my French and peace to my people
But it feels like we only go backwards before we start it again
[Chorus]
If you wanna talk about the odds of a
Real OG in a world full of gods
Same same, but different
And I ain’t no philosopher
Here we are
Dust from the past, yeah
Lost in the middle of a universe full of stars
Big Bang
[Verse 2]
Merry go round like a wheel turning a wheel
I’ve always been a dreamer but the real is a recurring feel
I ain’t talking movies, there’s no plot I was written for
I can tell the future is not spinning in your crystal ball
But I should probably listen more, sorry if I missed ya call
Me, Mr Fickle, busy wishin’ I was Mr Biggie Smalls
Now I’m in a pickle, sitting on this kitchen floor
Scribblin’ down this riddle 'bout everything I was in it for
It’s got me thinking how if I didn’t think at all
Would you simply think I’m misinformed? Without a doubt
Life is unpredictable, death is but a certainty
Our time here’s just a section on the spectrum of eternity so…
[Interlude]
I can only do what I can do
Yeah, I can only feel how I’m feelin'
[Bridge]
Life, death, time, eternal
Big Bang
I said life, death, time, eternal
And one motherfucking Big Bang
Life, death, time, eternal
Big Bang
I said life, death, time, eternal
And one motherfucking Big Bang
[Chorus]
So if you wanna talk about the odds of a
Real OG in a world full of gods
Same same, but different
And I ain’t no philosopher
So here we are
Dust from the past, yeah
Lost in the middle of a universe full of stars
Big Bang
L.D.T.E. was produced by Tuka.
The introduction to the album and its themes. I got the beat off a guy called J57 from the Brown Bag All Stars in the US via a friend of mine on Snapchat. She introduced me to him and he sent me the stems and I remixed them.
Lyrically, it looks at Life Death Time Eternal. In hip hop, the OG is the...
