Track 7 and The third single off the “Jazz Fusion” themed “SURREALISM”. The song follows AkinG Kalld Pedro making trades with life asking for the most luxurious things on earth while his conscience combats his initial requests made in the first verse. Over the calm & ambient Vince VanGo producti...
[Intro: AkinG Kalld Pedro]
3, 2, 1!
[Refrain]
Now everybody throw your hands up and try to the sky
Didn’t you know we fresh to death so niggas never really die
We might never change the world but fuck it, man, we here tonight
Life's a bitch so pull her panties down and toss them to the side
[Hook]
We want the finer things (we want the finer things)
[Verse 1]
All the finer things bitch I want the finer things in life
Every luxury, buy my pretty lady lovely ice
Requiem of dreams got me losing sleep like every night
It’s out of reach as I speed in this lane
Feeling like a silly crash course dummy paying his tolls
While bumpy turbulence hit me like potholes
And every blocked road got placed in the same spot (my brain stops!)
While I see my mutual peers on the go (uh!)
Why the hell do I feel like I’m always moving slow
All a nigga want to do is end his momma’s woes
Buy her cribs and fancy shoes, the one with open toes
Maybe hit the lotto so I have money to blow cause
[Hook]
[Refrain]
[Verse 2]
I’ve been stuck inside this traffic jam driving two miles per hour
Rolling out like Ludacris now everybody sees me
She trying to get her clout to be on everybody’s TV
I’m trying to get a milli to feed everybody needy
Niggas never build I feel like everybody’s greedy
I’m married to this game I’m not like everybody leaving
Stuck inside my vanity, can't control my ego
Want the money, and clothes and hoes these goals can be misleading
My conscience asked me what I’m bout
Please enlighten me, is you live on your knees till you deceased like you below six feet
Ten toes deep proceed to your damn defeats
Decrease every decree, your demise will leave you obsolete
[Hook]
[Refrain]
