Let It Breathe
Joey Bada$$ Lyrics
Woo, uh-uh, yeah (let's get it buddy)
Yeah (Badmon)
Brand new 911 off the lot, off the lot
It ain't even cost me a lot, yeah
Took that bitch back to the block, to the block
Heard a nigga just got got, uh (boom)
Love and peace will conquer
And clip the wings of evil and unjust
(Statik Selektah) You'll see
Uh, turn my vocals up
Turn my vocals up
Yeah
Want you to celebrate me like I'm dead already
Like this crown up on my head is heavy
Put my picture in the dictionary next to legendary
Swear I'm raisin' every bar, and it's like they never ready
They thrown' dirt up on my name like I'm already buried
Graveyard shifts 'til they put me in the cemetery
Until then I'm gettin' better every January
And it's very scary, 2020 vision's never blurry
I keep on droppin' all these jewels just like I'm in a hurry
Swear to God, I'm never worried (never)
'Cause that's how you live the misery twice
You see, that right there is like the greatest advice
You see, it's a few things that I noticed in life
Like the fact that everybody got a vice and a price (what else?)
'Cause every man got his weakness (mh)
And all these bars got they sequence (uh), uh
All them hidden scars but I peeped it (grrat, grrat)
Swear to God, that first cut always hit the deepest
Never put your guard down and watch who you around
My price goin' up every time I put my cigar down
I'm a superstar now, hopped in a supercar
No such thing as too far now
Tell 'em cuckoo broads not to call now (brrt)
They tellin' me to calm down
But bein' humble was the worst mistake I ever made
Not knowin' my worth was the biggest price I ever paid
So 'til I leave this Earth I'ma shine on niggas every day
And I put that on everything
I came in this at seventeen and gave the game a weddin' ring
We been honeymoonin' since, I think it's time to settle in
Go against the God, you could never win
I take 'em deep within to a place that they ain't never been
Hol' up, let that shit breathe, uh
Let that shit breathe, hm
Let that shit breathe
Mm, uh, uh
You niggas all fries, I don't see no threats, uh
Look after my dawgs, I'm a fuckin' vet'
Ain't a nigga that I met who could see me yet
Just know my door's always open like a CVS, uh
Sl500 with the B-B-S, uh
Gave that to my cousin 'cause he seemed stressed, uh
Guess it's in my genes like a seamstress
I told 'em, "Get up out your feelings, nigga, we the best" uh (who? We)
This ain't no DJ Khaled pop BS nah (listen)
That is not a diss, that's one just for the press, uh
If I was to flex, that wouldn't be a stretch (nope)
I hold weight in my city, they still ain't see me sweat
I lift the whole game with a finger, quarter
Use the same finger to finger fuck all the singer girls
I give her the diamonds but she give me the pearl (right)
I take her abroad so she could see the world
I said, I'm ridin' with my windows down
That's just how I feel right now, that's just how I feel
Said that I don't wanna waste no time
I just wanna take what's mine, gonna take what's your (the world is yours)
I said I'm ridin' with my windows down (the world is yours)
That's just how I feel right now, that's just how I feel
I don't wanna waste no time (the world is yours)
I just wanna take what's mine, gonna take what's, uh (the world is yours)
Love and peace will conquer (love, peace, strength, it got us)
And clip the wings of evil and unjust
You'll see
The world is yours, baby
Yeah (Badmon)
Brand new 911 off the lot, off the lot
It ain't even cost me a lot, yeah

1:45 -- 2:03 brought a tear to my eye
"Imma superstar now -- hopped in a super car
aint no such thing as too far now
tell them groupie broads not to call now
they telling me to calm down
But being HUMBLE was the WORST MISTAKE I ever made!
and not knowing my worth was the biggest price I ever paid
so til I leave this earth, Imma shine on niggas everyday
and I put that on everything" - Joey Bada$$
This the realest shit ever. So if you out there doubting yourself or holding back, STOP IT. People actually NEED to see you shine, its much more inspiring and does more to lift the collective consciousness's power level than playing small like a shy ass lil bitch 💯 s/o to badmon for progressing so far on his journey. We love to see it. - 主

Mans doesn’t drop much or often, but knows how to drop good music
@bobbycraft1247
I agree! People think popularity means you are a good rapper. Popular means you are the most marketable not the best. Joey is top 5 for me and I don’t care if he has a top 10 hit or not. Better than anyone on the charts right now and not even close.
