Palmer Reed’s “Smart” was produced by the late American EDM DJ Samisoni “BIG MAKK” Koroitamudu. On August 29, 2016, BIG MAKK lost his life in a car accident.
Best known for his heavy trap, featuring deep sub basses and strong kicks, BIG MAKK brings the tone down in “Smart” and allows the fluidity...
[Chorus]
Asking what’s a pass to a passport
Give a little more than what they ask for
Learn to make a way when I ain’t have one
Had to make a way when I ain’t have one
[Hook]
Now I’m glistening, ooh
Paid attention now your listening, ooh
They working with the plastic wrap, ooh
I'm working with a duffel bag, yeah
[Verse 1]
You done messed up and it’s obvious
Playing the game with no common sense
No time for beef, I’m on a roll
Tell em to catch up, no condiments
Gotta go and give my all again
Gotta go and show them
I do not control them
But I’ll make them listen all the same
From the bottom to the top again
[Pre-Hook]
I just wanna say I’ve seen it all here
Talking punctuation marks here
So I had to make a call, yeah
Now I’m MAKKIN’ with the sauce, yeah
And they ask me if I’m ballin
I tell them not at all, man
I’m just hustling like all man
I’m hustling like aww man, woah
[Chorus]
I’m asking what’s a pass to a passport
Give a little more than what they ask for
Learn to make a way when I ain’t have one
Had to make a way when I ain’t have one
[Verse 2]
I’m NASA with the loud, man
Satellites and clouds
Truth is never proud
Open up they mouth
Said they wasn’t 'bout
But they see me now
Cause I hold it down
Gravity to ground
Do you get it
Scientist of sound
I’m a chemist
Orbit back around in a minute
I need another crown, better finish
I’m lifted off the work
Working on the wealth
Wealth is of the mind
Mind the hours I want 10,000
I’m at 9,099
I’m a prime number on my grind
I’mma grind harder every time
I’mma shine brighter every shine
I’m a referee, just with the lines
[Pre-Hook]
I just wanna say I’ve seen it all here
Talking punctuation marks here
So i had to make a call yeah
Now I’m MAKKIN’ with the sauce yea
And they ask me if I’m ballin
I tell them not at all man
I’m just hustling like all man
I’m hustling like aww man
[Hook]
Now I’m glistening’, ooh
Paid attention now your listening, ooh
They working with the plastic wrap, ooh
I’m working on a duffel bag
[Chorus]
Asking whats a pass to a passport
Give a little more than what they ask for
Learn to make a way when I ain’t have one
Had to make a way when I ain’t have one
[Outro]
NASA with the loud
Truth is never proud
Open up they mouth
Said they wasn’t 'bout
But they see me now
Cause I hold it down

“MAKK was a real gift in helping me to expand my lyrical abilities and visual creativity by including him in the video. I think the biggest thing that will stick with all of us is to just keep going, and he will live on through us.”
