[Intro: Jay Nahge]
Something To Believe In
"L, leh me talk to dem dey"
[Verse 1: Jay Nahge]
It's been a while since I've been up on some public speaking
Trying not to take personal what I hear 'em critiquing
But I blew up on social media and it was outta timing
It's not they fault that they forgot, I just had to remind them
But tell me how am I to respond to the speculating
I've never been that type of guy to follow regulations
Especially when we're too busy tryna push the culture
Show 'em you could do what you love, it ain't all about soca
Crucified if I inspired my tainted image but I got drive
I'm the one to do too much, but won't make into your Top 5
Going shows, you get no respect, but they want it back
One mic when there's both of us, like how the hell you want us to rap like that shit is weak
But I prove 'em wrong, tell 'em don't say my name wrong
Soca time, drop a tape on 'em - it's a lot more where that came from (Where that came from)
And it's all for ... To show its possible to reach your dream
And that's the only thing I think is bigger than my team
[Hook: Jimmy October]
You are not my homie
You are not my friend
You ain't there from the start, Wanna be there in the end
You don't know me, You don't know me
You are not my homie
You are not my friend
You ain't there from the start, Wanna be there in the end
You don't know me, You don't know me (yeah)
[Verse 2: Jimmy October]
Sipping moscato, passing time, reflecting
Finally got the message, uh, you ain't even had to text it
I learnt enemies could be the outcome of a good friendship
'Cause with your back turnt, you can't tell your opponents position
When you know your mission, you realize that excess ass-kissing leaves a bad taste on your lips : Just like a bad kitten
So watch who you laying in them beds with
'Cause it's a heads and tails game at that instance your just the once she picked but my nigga she sharing shit
I told you niggas, y'all ain't listen
They be twisting stories before they hit the newspapers
You too busy chasing friends and validation
They lying to your faces, got you caught up in the matrix, yeah
Uh, not me though, cause I see those through the peephole
And I lean on 'em and dodge 'em just like that Migos flow
And I stays up and I wait on 'em like a sequel
Then I take 'em out 'casue they sitting 'round waiting for me to blow
To grab something they ain't work for
Then tell me that I don't deserve it, so it hurt more
Still stick around for when that champagne gets poured
Wonder where they ass was at, when I was like this close to poor
And mom ain't no job, nothing was secure
Zero on the scoreboard (hmmm), no one there at all
Wait 'til that zero's there, with that one in-front and then you turn around it's gone be a whole crowd
[Hook: Jimmy October]
Who not your homies
They are not your friends
They ain't there from the start, Wanna be there in the end
They don't know you, They don't know you
They are not your homies
They are not they friends
They ain't there from the start, Wanna be there in the end
They don't know you (no no), They don't know you
[Outro: Jay Nahge]
[?] I need more, I need something more nah boy
You know I just, We just hope people could relate to our music
And, let it be an experience, maybe it could take you through
And that's the stage I wanna reach, nah boy
So anybody could call a radio station or call personally
And be like dred, that song do something for me
And to know your music has some kind of impact, boy
That's basically what you want dawg
[?] your music just reaching somewhere
