A week after dropping his debut single “Unforgettable”, Leicester artist wewantwraiths capitalises on the momentum by dropping Chanaynay, which is a playful slang term alluding to French fashion brand CHANEL.
His melodic flow speaks on his past struggles of being left behind when he was broke, how...
[Verse 1]
Tryna fight, these demons got me fightin' with myself
wewantwraiths, Bentaygas, I can drive it by myself
Gotta keep one on the waist, I love designer on my belt
I ain't handlin' no handouts, I can handle it myself
Now it's Amiri on my jeans
Paint splatters on my leg matchin' my B23's
See the police don't get cold feet 'cause they telling ya, "Freeze"
Hottest Mali in the game, you're probably mentioning me, yeah
She seen me eating, now she wanna be my best friend
Take Hooyo Hajj before I take these hoes to West End
Her body shape a eight, but overall she's 10/10
She locked me off because I did things with her best friend
I'm six foot two, I'm tryna fly before I'm six feet
Fourteen-passenger, I'm tryna fly out six deep
I write my shit all by myself and then I switch beats
Swallowed my pride, she swallows kids, I told that bitch, "Leave"
[Chorus]
She from the hood, she got Chanays, she probably twerked for it
He got a watch and got a chain, he probably served for it
Everyone you see around me had to work for it
It's kinda sad when you can't flex 'cause you'd get murked for it
I know some niggas in and out, they keep on goin' in
I chose a route, made Hooyo proud, my money flowin' in
My baby bro try to be like me, I'm tryna hold it in
This the environment I don't wan' see him growin' in
[Verse 2]
Young fly Mali and I stay gettin' fly
I came late into the game and I'm ahead of my time
I couldn't even get a Q, I had to wait in the line
I kept it patient, at times I couldn't wait to get by
Had to grow wings, I'm tryna fly, I need to make moves
These niggas too fake, I ain't talkin' 'bout no fake tooth
I do this one take, I'll feel greedy if I take two
This what it takes to make it out, you have to stay true
Paintin' my pictures in my mind, they couldn’t frame me
You tried to blame me, said my name, they can't detain me
Insufficient evidence, they can't contain me
I never knew you'd be a rat when they said, "Say cheese"
[Chorus]
She from the hood, she got Chanays, she probably twerked for it
He got a watch and got a chain, he probably served for it
Everyone you see around me had to work for it
It's kinda sad when you can't flex 'cause you'd get murked for it
I know some niggas in and out, they keep on goin' in
I chose a route, made Hooyo proud, my money flowin' in
My baby bro try to be like me, I'm tryna hold it in
This the environment I don't wan' see him growin' in
[Verse 3]
I pray that time flies
Used to never having shit, we had to grind twice
I wear my Diors in a eight, Chanay's are size nines
Plus the streets too treacherous, I'm praying five times
My heart really turnin' black, I'm tellin' white lies
We was sitting on the steps like it was time out
Four pipes hanging out the backend, we make pipes growl
High performance in the engine make the right sound
VVS's look like daylight on a night out
[Chorus]
She from the hood, she got Chanays, she probably twerked for it
He got a watch and got a chain, he probably served for it
Everyone you see around me had to work for it
It's kinda sad when you can't flex 'cause you'd get murked for it
I know some niggas in and out, they keep on goin' in
I chose a route, made Hooyo proud, my money flowin' in
My baby bro try to be like me, I'm tryna hold it in
This the environment I don't wan' see him growin' in
[Outro]
(Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah)
(Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah)
I know some niggas in and out, they keep on goin' in
I chose a route, made Hooyo proud, my money flowin' in
My baby bro try to be like me, I'm tryna hold it in
This the environment I don't wan' see him growin' in
