From the album listening party on Bandcamp
Fine Lines starts off with a line my late cousin used to say, I got the L I can’t tell. That was a way to honor him. I went on to tell his story and how he would fall to the lifestyle. Even after all these years you never get over grief. Tiff the Gift got...
[Verse 1: Awon]
I got the L I can’t tell
If it is or if it ain’t
If it’s real of if it’s fake
If it’s poison or cake
It’s a fine line between
What is real
And what ain’t
Real life
Perspective is reality
Shooting on site
Niggas catch a fatality
Casually
Shorty running up
A real count on the casualties
Niggas going violent in the summer
Always baffles me
Youngin is a drummer
His 9 is like Quest Love
Got a big heart but his
Mind is type messed up
Niggas like him is designed
For crime destined
Friends turn state evidence
Under pressure
No moral compass
Designed in that vector
Woke up in my prime
Divine vernacular
Spectacular
Lost king from Africa
Flux compositor
Blast the raw
Microphone fiend always
Asks for more
[Hook: Awon]
Homies out the way take it day by day
Making paper moves run it play by play
Winners never lose
Play the game my way
Hit the jackpot
Come to claim my pay
Homies out the way take it day by day
Making paper moves run it play by play
Winners never lose
Play the game my way
Hit the jackpot
Come to claim my pay
[Verse 2: Tiff The Gift]
We stay ahead in the papers, and News, we got flavor
We choose to love neighbors abused our love changes
Cocaine’s a hell of drug nose closed the snub
Nose hold a grudge, Taped off red sludge
Shorter our check stubs, the mortar don’t fill gaps
And 400 years extended through post crack
A fine line exists when the mention ain’t get back
Missing a fair tax to be paid to the people
I watch my babies grow, my tax payin’ for the sequels
A line don’t exist for picking amongst evils
Live in a caste system no elders to pass wisdom
And Poverty is just as generational as wealth
The haves don’t have lines have nots don’t have self
Proud with no stealth and talk but don’t move
Full with no food just goals to get a one off
A fine line erases polluted water’s the runoff
[Hook: Awon]
Homies out the way take it day by day
Making paper moves run it play by play
Winners never lose
Play the game my way
Hit the jackpot
Come to claim my pay
Homies out the way take it day by day
Making paper moves run it play by play
Winners never lose
Play the game my way
Hit the jackpot
Come to claim my pay
Homies out the way take it day by day
Making paper moves run it play by play
Winners never lose
Play the game my way
Hit the jackpot
Come to claim my pay
Homies out the way take it day by day
Making paper moves run it play by play
Winners never lose
Play the game my way
Hit the jackpot
Come to claim my pay
