The Lo

[Intro]
Who it’s built for
It’s yours

[Chorus]
The Lo
Nikes and Cuban
Linx and Jeeps that
Make them cling to me
Yeah
The Lo
Nikes and Cuban
Linx and Jeeps that

[Verse 1]
My mind stimulated
Assimilate with the innovative
In love with music
She a Deist for Amadeus
David Bowie, D’Angelo & some Lady Day it’s
So eclectic
In her records I had to say it’s
Love at
First needle drop
The ear drum pop
I don’t even need top
But make the tape stop
And roll the new crop
Cuz I had to show her
Something bout my hip-hop
My culture
Where every word is a quotable
Screw face
But still so approachable
Community of making rappers uncomfortable
Cuz even on a feature
Goal is still smoking you
With this level of skill
It ain’t coachable
Best I can do
Is stay devoted to
The elements of the craft
So when you getting this Dickens
It’s in a form
You can stroke it to

[Pre-Chorus]
The ones with Cuban Linx
Is who it’s built for
Pulling up in the Jeeps
To the Biltmore
Polo with the water
Like the drip was a sport
When the swoosh go around the world
It’s yours

[Chorus]
The Lo
Nikes and Cuban
Linx and Jeeps that
Make them cling to me
Yeah
The Lo
Nikes and Cuban
Linx and Jeeps that
Make them cling to me
Yeah

[Interlude]
See it’s all our culture you know
This hip hop, yeah

[Verse 2]
See you must remember
It had all been manifested
Since Jamie Thompson
Was my bodyguard at age 7
Solos before the whole grade
The age
Already picking what you’re gonna do
In older days
See for me it was the stage
In plays
Drama club
War on my existence waged
But before that was rapping
And before that was dancing
Put it all together
See the character traits
Comes LTtheMonk
Not a character trade
11 years old
Doughboy & Tre
Develop my persona
Not from the hood
But a boy in the midst of it all
With no cage
So mix suburbia
With ghetto inertia
Murdering of the herd
With scratching the surface of
Upper class
A last
Name we never heard of
So forget ever coming in country club
Unless you a server
Intersection
Birthed insurrection
Deep into the docs
And library sections
Out comes a man
Who's so Afrocentric
Exceptionalism
With no exception
Only way my words
Get my blessing
Put into the verse
And given for your reflection
Full circle
The only way to live
Cuz given the God number
You gotta manifest it

[Chorus]
The Lo
Nikes and Cuban
Linx and Jeeps that
Make them cling to me
Yeah
The Lo
Nikes and Cuban
Linx and Jeeps that
Make them cling to me
Yeah
