Just days after Top Dawg promised new Isaiah Rashad before year’s end, the 24-year-old spitter from Chattanooga returns, fans having endured a nearly two year long drought between the song’s release and the drop of his debut project Cilvia Demo.
The song, in one way, compares Rashad’s love life to...
[Intro]
Bitch, you know you can't parallel park, anyway
[Chorus]
We can't be no number one, but we can be the jam
'Cause what these niggas on is not my favorite song
I'm not no number one, 'cause they gon' do you wrong
And they gon' play you out, alright, alright-alright
We can't be no number one, but we can be the jam
'Cause what these niggas on is not my favorite song
I'm not no number one, 'cause they gon' do you wrong
And they gon' play you out, alright, alright-alright
[Verse 1]
Back when my brother sold crack
And my sister was a real one, always was a real one
Saw you workin' early, tell me how you feel, hon
Baby, what's your hurry? Get it how you live, hon
Baby, what's your name? I been going through a lot
I can't do this on my own, "Got-No-Place-to-Go" Rashad
And that's a long one—hey, they gon' love you when you hot
They won't miss you when you gone
If you looking for a spot, that's the wrong one
[Chorus]
But we can be the jam
'Cause what these niggas on is not my favorite song
I'm not no number one, 'cause they gon' do you wrong
And they gon' play you out, alright, alright-alright
We can't be no number one, but we can be the jam
'Cause what these niggas on is not my favorite song
I'm not no number one, 'cause they gon' do you wrong
And they gon' play you out, alright, alright-alright
[Verse 2]
Back when my sister sold hair
Heard you lookin' for the deal, hon, get it how you live, hon
Damn, you caught me splurging, lookin' for the real ones
If I make it early, get it for the lil' ones
I can see your pain, hope my voice is helping out
Hope your mama working out, she won't e'en come out the house
Heard she had a surgery, granny died before the drop
I don't like to visit home, I don't like to see the drought
Call me when you stepping out, I might bring the cup with me
I might play the "Back and Forth" on my '94 Aali'
We can split a O or three, this is how it's supposed to be
Like we had a better trial, fuck the jury, fuck with me
We on our own, hon
[Chorus]
But we can be the jam
'Cause what these niggas on is not my favorite song
I'm not no number one, 'cause they gon' do you wrong
And they gon' play you out, alright
We can't be no number one, but we can be the jam
'Cause what these niggas on is not my favorite song
I'm not no number one, 'cause they gon' do you wrong
And they gon' play you out, alright, alright-alright
We can't be no number one, but we can be the jam
'Cause what these niggas on is not my favorite song
I'm not no number one, 'cause they gon' do you wrong
And they gon' play you out, alright
