[Intro: J.Nolan]
Welcome to the Fresh & Local Town Hall, ladies and gentlemen
(Huh) Got a special evening planned out for you
(Ha) Gotta go over some pertinent issues (yeah)
(Mm) Know what I mean?
So many things goin' on in the world right now
Lot o' things ain't been addressed properly (yeah, uh)
(Chorus: Ke Turner, J.Nolan)
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
(Verse 1: J.Nolan)
(Uh) Walk on this journey with me
Visit my granny in nursing homes
And that gurney with me
Y'all might prefer to ditch me
It ain't been sweet in my village
Since I was knee-high
When Shaq
Signed his deal with Reebok
I was a young'un with a bowl cuts, livin' off of cold cuts
Baloney in the fridge, chicken, biscuits gettin' froze up
Lookin' at my bros sweepin' at it like the cold brush
Chasin' after dreams, I love 'em like Kel and Orange Crush
Woke up with a broken heart
Noticed that I was feelin' entitled
Convinced that my rivals was movin' past
Pursuing cash
It's all about the Benjamins, right?
They gettin' cash
You ain't movin' if the engine ain't right
That's when I laugh
Played the tortoise for a few years
Perfecting my style
Master my pokerface
Deep inside protecting my smile
So many see the skill
They see the shows and videos
But they don't see the will
To keep your control when sittin' still (uh)
(Chorus: Ke Turner, J.Nolan)
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
(Verse 2: J.Nolan)
Age 3, could'a died from that cough syrup, boy
Ain't got time for no false worship, my thoughts mergin'
'Cause life expectancy, reachin' thirty ain't really planned
Conservative mind, grabbin' the wheel with Jesus' hand
I need goddess
Nah, I need deposits
And ventures to seek a profit
I managed to keep it honest, for real
I got homies from school that
Ain't never leave the city
Stressing my essence for blessings, I'm trying take 'em with me
Ain't no more slaves in my linen, stretchin' my pivot like
Tory Lanez in a pickup game
Sick o' wincin' from pain
Demolition, my premonition from livin' in shame
Y'all be actin' like activism, y'all took it to fame
I ain't gon lie, I want private jets
With a Donna set, diamonds set
With designer reps
Tryna find me the finest prints
But I ain't exchangin' my soul
To play in they clothes, dawg
They say the game's to be sold
Rather than told y'all
So when you see my team winnin,' just remember
What it took to even be a contender
Space-heaters through winter
Pitchin' in collectively to eat dinner, to be in suits similar to Jidenna
We came a long way
(Chorus: Ke Turner, J.Nolan)
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Listen to the sound of my heart when it sings, yeah
Wadadaday, wadadadadaday
Sounds so proper like the way the beats play, yeah
