New Jersey’s own Angelo Mota dropped Oath as the fourth track of his House of Diamonds record. Featuring Sipho the Gift, Oath uses a feelgood beat and hook to create an anthem for all those artists on the ‘come-up.’ A main message of the track is no matter where or who you come from, be true to your...
[Chorus]
I been up
I been up and I've been down
Glass ceilings have me taking off my crown
Swear to God, I think they trynna take my soul
I took that oath that one day Imma take the throne
I took that oath that one day Imma take the throne
I took that oath
[Verse 1: Angelo Mota]
This was my favorite dream
I run the world in my sleep
I got the mark of the beast
Martyr for all of the artists who starve for the beats that they market to me
I'm in the marshes, it's up to my knees
This what I need
A happier home and some friends who would care
Oh, a view that is a martian to me
They would make fun me, make me believe it
I would get beat the fuck up during recess for what I believe in
It was a secret
Pops would push it down so I won't see it
Or [?] when busters let off at their house
Round after round, 'til I'm leaving them bleeding
Feel like I'm broken, I can't find the pieces
My hair locking up, bitch I feel like I'm Jesus
And all they wanted was a loss from me
Now they gotta make a boss of me
They used to want to make jokes of me
Now them motherfuckers talk funny
Finding myself
I been supplying my wealth 'cause it isn't in money
I took an oath
Now I run with the coast
While I coast with the crown that they couldn't take from me, yeah
Let me see them hands
Let me see them motherfuck-
[Chorus]
I been up
I been up and I've been down
Glass ceilings got me taking off my crown
Swear to God, I think they trynna take my soul
I took that oath that one day I'mma take the throne
I took that oath that one day I'mma take the throne
I took that oath
[Verse 2: Sipho The Gift]
First things first, let's get to the truth
Boy's been harsh since he stepped in the booth
I been working hard just to get right here
And I'll praise real hard like I slept on the truth
Hashtag I got the juice
On the beat like a beast on the loose
Please give me room
Still feeling like I got something to prove
So to kill it is the least I can do
Ever since a nigga slept on the couch
Had to find a way of working it out
Got the map but it ain't came with a route
These are the things that be stressin' me out
Momma love me but I know she got doubt
"What is this life and what is it about ?"
These are the things that I'm figuring out
I'll follow my heart but don't follow the crowd
I don' feel to many losses
Been [?] too many crosses
What I take away from all this
I can make it, man, regardless
I'mma make it, man, I promise
[?]
Lazy niggas make me nauseous
Best approach me with some caution
Y'all ain't call me but I been the kid
Learning life ain't for the innocent
It could hit you with some turbulence
I'mma raise above it with my little wings
'Cause I'm focused on the bigger things
All my niggas need bigger rings
Middle finger to the pessimist
I'mma make it that's on everything
Sipho The Gift
[Chorus 2]
Sing it with me like ay
Sunny day
I been way around the way
Showing face
Winter feel like it was May, andale
Go outside
I hope and pray this don't go away
Go outside
I hope and pray this don't go away
Go outside
I hope and pray this don't go away
Go outside
I hope and pray this don't go away
Go outside
I hope and pray this don't go away
Sunny day
