[Intro: Kase 2]
You know who I am, though, anyway
You know, the king of what? King of style
[Verse 1: Hau, Ngaiire]
(Laughs)
KRS told me, yeah
You gotta have style
Learn to be original, keep it versatile
You can’t be pigeonholed, can’t be boxed
Can’t be compared to the rest of the flock
I mean, I got a team who’s not concerned
With what’s popular, nor what’s popping off in the scene
I mean, at the expense of not getting radio play
I’ll do what I do and what I do is okay
I get comfortable with myself and my music (Ooh)
Do you understand where I’m coming from?
I push it along, I fight for Q-Tip (Ooh, yeah)
That’s been my tip through every summer gone (From the styles I got, oh baby)
And when winter approaches (Baby, oh)
Buenos noches
Themes for the hopeful, themes for the hopeless (Yeah, yeah)
Stick to your guns, it’ll come, stay focused, yeah
[Chorus: Ngaiire, Hau]
You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, hey baby
‘Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, hey baby (It’s the five foot assassin with the roughneck business, yeah)
‘Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
[Verse 2: Hau, Ngaiire]
Phife told me
Style upon style upon style is what I have
Small talk to the wife to avoid a narrow mind
My tribe on a quest to perfect our own design
You’ll find that what you'll need is indeed a strong spine
I have fam in the house it’s only fair to warn you
My girl has got my back, my boys are in my corner (You can’t run away)
My sound is in the sphere, my thoughts are in a tight place
My love is in the air, my heart is in the right place (You can’t run away)
And yeah, I guess you might say
Balance 'tween night/day, weekends, five days
Work for the dream, so why would I compromise
Or modify? I’m here to represent like [?]
Vintage ears with modern eyes
Future Classic shit, the new prototype
[?] crossin’ over just to double cross
Stick to your guns it’ll come, son, Mazel tov
[Chorus (Extended): Ngaiire]
You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, hey baby
‘Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, hey baby
‘Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, hey baby
‘Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, hey baby
‘Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
I got a lot of styles
You can't run away, oh
Oh baby, ay yeah, yeah
You can't run away from these styles I got
Oh baby, yeah
[Outro: Sample]
Got the cool-ass style
Got the cool-ass style
Got the cool-ass style that’s cooler than the cool
Style was written by Sensible J x Dutch & Hau.
Style was produced by Sensible J x Dutch.
This tune was built around a vocal sample – constructed by J, brought to life by Dutch. Just a few of my thoughts regarding being true to one’s self and not feeling like you need to compromise your ethics or your sound in order to succeed. No one can do like you do.
