Released on his birthday in 2019, Wakil makes another birthday anthem for himself and the people.
Part I explores the celebratory side of birthdays: partying, celebrating and making it all about you.
Slowing the tempo down into part II: the introspective side of birthdays; another year of life pas...
Part I
[Intro: chief waKiL]
Berthay, berthay, berthay
Berthay, berthay, ish my berthay, uh
(Berthay)
Ish my berthay
Berthay, berthay, berthay, berthay, berthay
[Verse 1: chief waKiL]
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday (yeah)
Do what the hell I want, yo, it's my birthday (yeah)
You know it's my season, pay me homage (ooh, yeah)
Imma be honest, today I won't be modest (no, woah)
I might celebrate all week (birthday)
Way past lit, way past lit (birthday)
Imma hit my moves when they drop that beat (birthday)
Nigga, give me room, like 50 feet, hit that like woah (woah)
Make it your day, make it your night (make it your night)
You only get one, you better get right (you better get right)
You heard me once, won't say it twice (won't say it twi-i-ice)
Let 'em know your name like Obie Trice, Trice
You could be 21, you could be 35 and beyond
You better catch a vibe, walkin', we still alive and we on
Imma be sure my ass, no time to be cool
Don't lemme get in my bag cause I'm actin' a fool
Cause it's my
[Hook: chief waKiL]
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday (it's my birthday, yeah)
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
[Verse 2: chief waKiL]
I appreciate the love, appreciate me
Cause this the day I grace the earth
You could keep lowkey and blow a lil tree
And drink 'til your facial hurt
Hater never minded me, yo, Imma do chief, tryna get a bag
Make it OD, yeah you know me, playin' or no playin', aye, we gon' make it work
This for those who know they hit
Way much more than different
Small things, y'all can miss me with
Let's just jump right into it
Swear these folks get ignorant
Blame it on the Internet
Do too much, yo limits' hit
I be on my simple tip (ooh)
Hit the money dance, cut the rug up
Even if you broke, you better ball like a worker
Hot girls, city girls tryna get a one-up
Woah, if they hatin', tell 'em "Hey, shut the fuck up"
[Hook: chief waKiL]
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday (ooh, yeah)
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday (it's my birthday, yeah)
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
[Bridge: chief waKiL]
Hold up, wait a minute, birthday, birthday (uh)
Hold up (hold up), wait a minute (wait a minute)
Birthday (birthday), birthday (birthday)
Hold up (hold up), wait a minute (wait a minute)
Birthday (birthday), birthday (birthday)
Turn up (turn up), wait a minute
Birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday
[Hook: chief waKiL]
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday (it's my birthday, yeah)
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
Birthday, birthday, birthday, it's my birthday
[Bridge: chief waKiL]
Hold up, wait a minute, birthday, birthday
Hold up, wait a minute, birthday, birthday
Hold up, wait a minute, birthday, birthday
Turn up, wait a minute
It's my- it's my birthday, birthday
Part II
[Break: chief waKiL]
Hold up, wait a minute, birthday, birthday
Hold up, wait a minute, birthday, birthday
[Verse 3: chief waKiL]
Yeah, it's your birthday, what you gon' make of it?
You made another year, here's a cake, bury your face in it
History is everything, ain't no need in erasing it
If you should feel old, nah baby, you start embracing it
We wasn't supposed to be here past 25
But, yo, here goes the gag, they mad we still alive
Never let a 3-6-5 tell you a lie
And don't be insecure bout knowing how to survive
Sit and wonder bout reasons of why we're here
We live, learn and get lost, don't fold out of the fear
Like you a waste of space, like damn, I can't relate, though
There's purpose in your presence, I promise, baby, you straight, though
Here's a toast of my life; Imma make the most of all of this
Reset and get my all again
No promises, but I intend on making it right
Cause the fact I'm still alive means I'm still in this fight
I don't want perfect, I want progress
Failure is just a moment, trust the process
You could land on your ass a hundred times, yes
To get the win or the hundred, one is the object
Fuck all the nonsense
