On Smiling at the Ground, the 5th track on Quadeca’s 5th album From Me To You, Quadeca raps over an experimental instrumental from a different point of view on each verse.
On the first verse he raps as a fan wanting to be his love interest and wishing him and his current partner will break up so he...
[Chorus]
I searched my fake name and found a million results
But none have you
Thank God, yeah, uh, yeah
Always lookin' down, yeah, smilin' at the ground, yeah
I've been on my own, the world's just pixels on my phone
But you’ve been true
Thank God, uh
Always lookin' down, yeah, smilin' at the ground, yeah
[Verse 1]
“Honestly (What?)
I can't wait 'til they break up (Oh, yeah)
So that I can get a shot at her spot, and if not, what's the cost?
'Cause the music'll make up for it (Oh)
It would be so great, I would pay up for it
I could really use a break from that same love story
'Cause that ain't somethin' for me, I miss when I could relate to your heartbreak
Want you to be happy, but only if it's for our sake
Want you to be happy, but only if I can partake
And you know if you're happy, the music's probably crappy
And your songs'll only light up the charts if they from the dark place
I'm your biggest fan, so I promise that's what your art takes
And when you're down, I'll be there for you
When you finally outgrow that girl of yours (Haha)
She's your world, of course, blah-blah, we get it
Nah-nah, if we met, you would not regret it
I promise”
[Chorus]
I searched my fake name and found a million results
But none have you
Thank God, yeah, uh, yeah
Always lookin' down, yeah, smilin' at the ground, yeah
I've been on my own, the world's just pixels on my phone
But you’ve been true
Thank God, uh
Always lookin' down, yeah, smilin' at the ground, yeah
[Verse 2]
“Let him slowly kill himself (Wait, wait, wait, wai-wai-wai-wai—)
It's okay
We gon' need a bigger shelf (Keep, keep, keep, kee-kee-kee—)
It's so great
Don't do anythin' that's good for business (No, no, no—)
And even if we did we know he wouldn't listen anyways
Take our money, don't stop it
And when you come down, write how you feel
Put it out, that's a hit, thank you for the profit
Do it again 'cause you know that people want it (Yeah!—)
So look at you gettin' money and your crew gettin' money
But it makes you feel alone when you flaunt it
In a race against yourself to the bottom
Askin', "Ain't this everything I ever wanted?" Yeah”
[Chorus]
I searched my fake name and found a million results
But none have you
Thank God, yeah, uh, yeah
Always lookin' down, yeah, smilin' at the ground, yeah
I've been on my own, the world's just pixels on my phone
But you’ve been true
Thank God, uh
Always lookin' down, yeah, smilin' at the ground, yeah
[Bridge]
Turn my branches into ashes
For your warmth and for your pleasure
Now I'm drownin' in reverbial screams
Disguised as an aesthetic
I'm a fucking guilty pleasure
I'm like Jaden Smith to you
You'll never see me how I see me
I'm not an artist, and that's okay
[Outro]
You're the only thing that's real
A bit of a futile exercise if you're just going up the steps
