Kota kicks off his third studio album MEMO with an upbeat, slightly jazzy piano and kick drum-laced anthem of living life to the fullest, finding self-fulfilment outside of digital media, and sticking to yourself and your own business.
Among other things, Kota talks about avoiding fake friends and...
[Intro: Richard Parker]
Ice-cold water for a dollar, ice-cold
Ice-cold water
Ice-cold water
Ice-cold water for a dollar, ice-cold
Hey, man, it's been a long time since I seen you out here
You done seen some things, I can tell
Oh, you thought it was gonna be easy
Oh, summer houses, palm trees, hahaha
Well, since you're here now, you might as well put us on game
Get us hip to the memo
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Nowadays, I just stay low (Stay low)
Got a radar for the fake hoes (Fake hoes)
Got a hound dog for the fake bros
Getting sniffed out likе a bag full of straight coke (Yeah, yeah, yеah)
Shit hard, that's the way it go (Shit way it go)
She moving funny, rather stay alone (Solo)
It's a trap, I'ma stay at home
Never take a bag if it mean I gotta play a role
I ain't finna fight with no one
I ain't finna cyph with no bums
And I don't need a mic to show love
And dodge bad vibes the whole month
And do it 'til the end of the road come (Yeah)
Cut the attitude, it's a privilege
To be in my presence, to be in my essence
To have my number, to text that message
To be my lover, to be in this session (Let's go)
[Chorus]
All my homies on the east side
We finna have a good time
All my homies on the west side
We finna have a good time
All my homies in the Midwest
We finna have a good time
All my folks from the P-N-dub
We come in rain, slow, sleet, what's up, you heard?
[Verse 2]
Live my life like send me the bill
I got a whole lot of time that I'm ready to kill
I take a solo trip to Tahoe
Where I ain't got no bars on my iPhone
The people show love when I'm in my hometown
And even more so when I'm in Chicago
And when I'm on the West Coast, shit get so loud
I sit and think back, where did all that time go? It's right here
Bad vibes or good vibes, it's all good (It's all good)
I chose the high road, it's okay (It's okay)
No static, your hood is your hood (Good)
I'm on the beach on the snow days (Chill)
Penthouse in LA, the calm breeze (Yes)
Go crazy, blowing the palm trees (Yes)
Only available if you speaking love and you speaking up
[Chorus]
All my homies in the Cape Town
We finna have a good time
All my homies out in London
We finna have a good time
All my homies in the Philippines
We finna have a good time
And my friends in the UAE
I'm pulling up into DXB, you heard?
[Verse 3]
Yeah
Choose peace every time now
It be seen, read, blocked now
But I'ma give you a chance to come back
On the next day, say it correct
This is my house, keeping you away to protect
What I build, I clean, I save, invest
I vacuum, furnish, windows, curtains
Decorations all got purpose, yeah
Shoes off when you in the crib (Ayy, right there)
Purell when you at the door
House rules that you gotta know
Show love, it's a fucking law
Give thanks if it's thanks due
Don't judge, homie, you could teach
Safe space, you could tell the truth (Be real)
Last one, everybody eat
[Chorus]
All my homies out in Bed-Stuy
We finna have a good time
All my homies out in Red Hook
We finna have a good time
All my homies out in Fort Greene
We finna have a good time
All my folks out in Clinton Hill
I'm back home and the love is real, you heard? (Let's go)
[Outro]
That's gonna go crazy, Dad
You see here, kid?
You gotta just go for it
Don't think about what comes after or what came before
You just gotta take a deep breath and jump
