“SWIMMING MONKEYS, PT. 2” is the follow-up to the 2016 original from Azure’s third mixtape “Crossroads”. The original song featured Florida artist PRXJEK, and the new one features California artist and NeSCIENCE co-founder Mantis The Miasma.
The song follows the same triumphant themes as the origin...
[Intro: Mantis The Miasma]
Aye, you already know what it is out here
Its the NeSCIENCE, that blitz shit
Azure, Mantis, Zaki, FITH
Man you already know what it is
We ain't come to play, this some real art shit
Some music shit, putting the soul back in the music
Know what I'm sayin'. We really fucking out here
And we ain't here to play with none of that
Alright, somebody better tell em what it is
And its gon be us lemme tell em (yeaaahh)
Azure tell em what the motherfuck this shit is
[Verse: Azure The Paradox]
These niggas ain't working they been in retirement
You don't got the sauce, I know you been hiding it
Another level, fucking up your environment
How they gon test me, I know they been trying it
(hol up, wait yeah)
I got the recipe, I see my enemies
Want me to RIP, when they be next to me
Just wanna check from me, pay for the jealousy
Standing my ground, all feet like a centipede
Going to ghost, niggas been dead to me
Up in the zone, what you expect from me
They never know, the fuck can you get from me
Taking advantage, you've never been kin to me, damn
I just gotta play the part tho, smart guy with the dumb role
Never flexing with the bankroll, just enough to make the bank roll
Put my heart up in the south pole, Norf Norf where we can't go
Niggas worry bout my paper, you can get your ass sta-pled
Crossed up like you Makaveli, Akinyele with the fall off
Never been the one for commentary, bloody mary with the face off
I been cooking up in solitary, voluntary I can blast off
Nuetron when I take off with my day ones I count on
Why these rappers so opinionated, always looking to be validated
I don't see em as the competition, been the shit they never constipated
I been lacking on the network, flex flex till my chest hurt
Another ring like Lebron James, turn you niggas into patchwork
I been grinding individual, flip script no reciprocal
Got this far without a visual, see the pain I been living through
Up to now a nigga miserable, checking on me like a physical
Everyday I hit the pinnacle, label me another miracle
Wait, I am not holy or spiritual
And lately I barely been lyrical
Living off of my last name, paradox going digital
Fit my life inside the syllables, uh
Kill the beat Im going criminal, uh
Grew up so despicable, uh
I am the only original, uh (aye)
[Pre-Chorus: Azure The Paradox]
I am the only original, uh
(checking on me like a physical)
I am the only original, uh
(I been grinding individual)
I am the only original, uh
(I am not holy or spiritual)
I am the only original
[Chorus: Mantis The Miasma + (Azure The Paradox)]
Y'all unoriginal, y'all arent shit to me
Tell 'em the truth (niggas ain't shit)
I keep it real and get everyone pissed at me
They hate the truth (they hate the truth)
I'm hard as fuck yall soft as some pudding bitch
Where is the proof? (the fuck is your proof?)
You got no cred I came back from the dead
Bitch what it do? (bitch what it do)
Y'all unoriginal, y'all arent shit to me
Tell 'em the truth (you niggas ain't shit)
I keep it real and get everyone pissed at me
They hate the truth (you hate the truth)
I'm hard as fuck yall soft as some pudding bitch
Where is the proof? (the fuck is your proof?)
You got no cred I came back from the dead
Bitch what it do? (bitch what it do?)
