The Day )
Curren$y Lyrics

Whack niggas sleep rappin' and woke up in trouble
Mediocre rappers who don't put in the effort to improve often find themselves in difficult situations

Whack niggas with that sleep rap and then woke up in trouble
Those who rely on lazy rhymes and uninspired flows are bound to face obstacles in their career

You were cool ten years ago, your fucking legs bubble
Your time in the spotlight has long past and your style is outdated and unimpressive

Brand new tires
I'm starting fresh and moving forward with new energy and power

Rollin down the same old strip new party same old chicks
Despite making progress, I'm still surrounded by familiar faces and situations

I'm so sorry
I may not appear thrilled to be here, but it's not personal

If I don't look happy to be here
Don't take my demeanor as a reflection of how I feel about the situation

In your label office cause they said I can't smoke weed here
I'm in your office only because I have to be, but I won't compromise my beliefs and habits

Man fuck it I'm out black on
I'm leaving now and I'm unapologetic about it

Than I'm bout it fool
I'm not afraid to act on my own terms

I got a studio in my house
I have control over my own creative space

Along with some the perks
I've earned certain privileges and luxuries through my hard work

That come with my work
The benefits I enjoy are a result of the effort I put in

Thirty-twenty something sleepin' in my diamond supplied shirt
I'm living the high life and giving others an aspirational goal to work towards

There is not a adjective to describe how I work
My work ethic and dedication is beyond words and description

Hard is not enough brother I'm tougher
Simply working hard isn't enough; I have to be stronger than the challenges I face

You was cool ten yours ago your fucking legs bubbles, bubble
You were once perceived as cool but now your style and appeal has diminished

You gotta now when to hold em now when to fold em
Knowing when to push forward and when to change direction is key to success

Learn how to roll with the punches
You have to be able to adapt and deal with setbacks as they come

Take em to school give these niggas brown bag lunches
I'm showing other rappers how to succeed and serving them a lesson

If it ain't the jets then it ain't nothing
I'm loyal to my crew and don't waste my time on anything that doesn't benefit us

Yo the king closed his cloak
The leader put his power and prestige on display

The set was overfull
The performance or event was particularly successful and well-attended

Such a excellent moment
The experience was flawless and worth remembering

So emotional
Feelings of heightened passion or sentiment were present

He rushed out on the field
The leader emerged with urgency to take further action

So devoted for
The dedication and loyalty was exceptional

Final victory clutch they went postal cold
The team won with an exciting and unexpected move, leading to extreme celebration

Glory overload
The level of success and notoriety was immense

Hold up hold my coat
I need someone to hold this clothing item momentarily

Please remember this day
This moment is significant and should be etched in our memories

This changes everything we can do anything
This experience is transformative and opens up many new possibilities

So you show anyway
Even if it seems pointless or difficult, it's important to be present and try

My momma told me was always call a spade a spade
My mother taught me to be honest and straightforward in my dealings

Be like chuck d never be like flavor flav'
It's better to be like the respected and admired leader than the flamboyant sidekick

but that clock around his neck is so fly and the way he complimentin'
However, Flavor Flav's jewelry and Chuck D's complimenting of him is impressive

chuckie with that bow tie flow make me feel high so
The smoothness and cleverness of Chuck D's style elevates him to a new level

I'm goin' spit it my way excuse me as I do me
I'm going to do things my way without apology

cruisin' rudely down the high way
I'm moving forward with confidence and assertiveness

I'm young black intelligent elegant blaza'
I'm proud of my identity and intelligence, and I present myself with sophistication

Back to the thesis
Returning to the main point or argument

To to shooting kraps and talking smack to the polices
Engaging in risky behavior and boldly standing up to law enforcement

Back to black and gold valleys
Returning to my roots and my community

Dit knees with the creases
Paying attention to the small details of my appearance

Pullin' youngin' by the coattails
Guiding and teaching younger people to follow in my footsteps

Schoolin' 'em who the beast is
Showing them my power and talent, and demonstrating my superiority

I pray this flow is dumb enough ugh
I hope my rhymes and rhythms are simple enough for a wide audience to appreciate

I pray my heart is D.M.C. and rev run enough
I hope my passion and drive matches those of the legendary hip-hop duo

Cause I'm a throw my number up
I'm going to put myself out there and take a risk

I'm a throw some chicken bones and feathers on a hundred bucks
I'm using a traditional practice to try to bring myself luck and success

And summon up the thunder what?
I'm calling on a higher power to help me achieve greatness

The voodoo man is coming bro
I believe in mystical forces and am willing to try anything to achieve my goals

Can't see the forest full of trees
People are often blind to the big picture or overall situation

It's okay, I got my jigsaw and my jumber truck
I have the tools and resources I need to navigate through difficult circumstances

Tell them boys their run is up
I'm letting my competition know that their time at the top is coming to an end

Whole team champion they went postal cold
The entire team played at an exceptional level to achieve victory and they're celebrating strongly

Power overload
The level of success and domination is intense and overwhelming
