On “Jollof Rice,” Bas teams up with Doctur Dot of EARTHGANG for a laid-back track where they discuss their preference of one-night stands.
The track was first teased in the documentary for Dreamville’s July 2019 album, Revenge of the Dreamers III.
[Intro: Bas & WowGr8]
I want a timepiece
They be throwing it
I want like nine beats (No More)
'Cause I could keep going Doc
I want a foreign and I want a dime piece
And I want a dime peace (Black pussy only)
I roll that pine cheef
I blow a zone in the moment
Just tryna stay in the moment
[Verse 1: WowGr8]
My loyalty to my options
I'ma stay free, granddaddy used to pick cotton
I don't pull up, I crash land, I'm a Martian
Bitches send nudes, while they man watchin' Martin
Had to get my glow up from the darkness
I can spot a novice, you look harmless
Twist the pressure like a pinky promise
Had a lotta haters when they started
Funny how they come around regardless (Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2: Bas]
I roll like tires up under me (Ooh)
I got a fire up under me (Ooh)
It burn for money not bitches (No)
Don't get too big for your britches (Don't)
I hit the licks and I pivot, I got a bitch independent (Yeah, ooh)
That I have not seen in a minute, she need a visa to visit (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Bas]
Gesundheit, blessed
Get her on flight, get her on sight
Cut off lights
Fuck me, cook me Jollof Rice
Gesundheit, blessed
Get her on flight, get her on sight
Cut off lights
Fuck me, cook me Jollof Rice
[Verse 3: WowGr8]
I'm really John Cena, my nigga
You really not seeing me, nigga
Maybe on Easter and Christmas
Maybe you reap what you sow from the seed that you spittin'
Still, you can't keep my attention
I don't wanna waste no more of my patience
Playing them same old games
Where the hell we goin' today?
Only get sleep on the plane
Feel like foreign exchange
[Verse 4: Bas & WowGr8]
Me and the clique hitting licks, lil' bitch
The payload like flipping bricks out in Lagos
And we got it lit like flamethrowers, ain't that a bitch
Ain't no surprise, just saw Rah Dolla on the Ave
And you know the vibes, yeah, you know the vibes
Couple pitfalls in my past but you know my rise like bungies
Chief of the tribe
Pull out game? not quite
At least a nigga tried, might've saved my life, right?
[Chorus: Bas]
Gesundheit, blessed
Get her on flight, get her on sight
Cut off lights
Fuck me, cook me Jollof Rice
Gesundheit, blessed
Get her on flight, get her on sight
Cut off lights
Fuck me, cook me Jollof Rice
