"I love being a new artist, I get motivation from my peers and I know what I'm doing motivates them as well. We are all in this friendly competition to make each other better and this is what hip-hop is about".
Neako is not just an artist behind the mic, but he is a self made producer as well. Producing a vast amount of his own tracks himself, Neako has begun to create a unique sound that people love.

Neako Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Itβs a different place who begins a star?
Who will roll far? Yeah
Took the way I know yeah, TGOD, LVLYSL
Move along now yeah
Uh, I'm smoking that reefer
And sippinβ champagne damn mayne
Now it seems i'm surrounded by bitches
And covered in chains switching lanes
Heart beating fast and I'm fryinβ my brain
Boardinβ planes
Telling my mama we'll never be poor again
I told her I'd do this a year ago
She told me, "You're insane"
But I gotta be crazy for people to pay me
Off shit that I say, shit that I wrote
Whole lot of smoke in my lungs
Makinβ me feel like a ghost
To the sky I go, youβll be sendinβ him a note
I'm the villain with the flow
No way can they fit him in a mold
You're the one when you feel it in your soul
In fact, I'm feelinβ real close
To a whole other mode I go, I go
And I walk the way the wind blows
Softly, in clouds of envy
I see those eyes, fireflies in time
Private planes on my jetway
A hundred joints in my ashtray
A couple grand to get just the hate
My money coming up fast way
30 grand is on champagne and
That's because I'm thirsty
Bubbles: that's what works for me
Fuck, niggas take it personally
Drink Bombay all day, I smoke purple weed
Get money all day and I'll be gone for weeks
Somewhere in the South of France, overseas
Kush is rolled, that good cologne
Getting stoned, smoking with the owners
If I'm in the club
I'm getting paid to show up
That's gangsta real nigga
That's real gangsta
Bitch you lookin at a real Taylor
Paper in my pocket, none to spend
Just to roll my pot with
And I walk the way the wind blows
Softly, in clouds of envy
I see those eyes, fireflies in time
And I walk the way the wind blows
Softly, in clouds of envy
I see those eyes, fireflies in time

Uh, I'm smoking that reefer
I am consuming marijuana
And sippinβ champagne damn mayne
I am drinking champagne, damn man
I remember those days I was covered in rain
I recall the times when I was trapped in negativity and hardship
Now it seems i'm surrounded by bitches
Now it appears that I am constantly in the company of women
And covered in chains switching lanes
And wearing expensive jewelry while changing lanes in life
Heart beating fast and I'm fryinβ my brain
My heart is racing and I am overwhelming my mind
Boardinβ planes
Getting on airplanes
Telling my mama we'll never be poor again
Assuring my mother that we will never experience poverty again
I told her I'd do this a year ago
I promised her that I would achieve this goal one year ago
She told me, 'You're insane'
She thought I was crazy
But I gotta be crazy for people to pay me
But I have to be innovative and different for people to compensate me
Off shit that I say, shit that I wrote
Based on the things I say and write
Whole lot of smoke in my lungs
I have consumed a significant amount of marijuana
Makinβ me feel like a ghost
Causing me to feel detached or ethereal
To the sky I go, youβll be sendinβ him a note
I am ascending to the sky, and you will be acknowledging my success
I'm the villain with the flow
I am the antagonist with a distinctive musical style
No way can they fit him in a mold
It is impossible to confine or categorize me
You're the one when you feel it in your soul
You will recognize your true purpose when you deeply sense it
In fact, I'm feelinβ real close
In fact, I am getting very near
To a whole other mode I go, I go
Moving towards a completely different state or mindset
Private planes on my jetway
I have access to private planes on my exclusive pathway
A hundred joints in my ashtray
I have numerous marijuana joints in my ashtray
A couple grand to get just the hate
I am willing to spend a significant amount of money just to attract negativity
My money coming up fast way
I am rapidly accumulating wealth
30 grand is on champagne and
I am willing to spend $30,000 on champagne
That's because I'm thirsty
That's because I have a strong desire for extravagance
Bubbles: that's what works for me
Champagne bubbles are a source of satisfaction for me
Fuck, niggas take it personally
Damn, some people take offense to it
Drink Bombay all day, I smoke purple weed
I consume Bombay gin all day and indulge in high-quality marijuana
Get money all day and I'll be gone for weeks
I am constantly making money and frequently traveling for extended periods
Somewhere in the South of France, overseas
In a location in the southern part of France, outside of my home country
Kush is rolled, that good cologne
Marijuana is prepared, and I am wearing high-quality fragrance
Getting stoned, smoking with the owners
Getting high, while socializing with wealthy individuals
If I'm in the club
If I am present in the nightclub
I'm getting paid to show up
I am being compensated for my mere presence
That's gangsta real nigga
That is authentically gangster, my friend
That's real gangsta
That is truly gangster
Bitch you lookin at a real Taylor
You are observing a genuine Taylor (referring to Taylor Gang)
Paper in my pocket, none to spend
I have money in my pocket, but I am not using it
Just to roll my pot with
Just to purchase marijuana
And I walk the way the wind blows
I follow the direction that the wind takes me
Softly, in clouds of envy
Quietly, surrounded by others who desire what I have
I see those eyes, fireflies in time
I notice those captivating eyes, resembling fireflies, within the passing moments
And I walk the way the wind blows
I continue to follow the path dictated by the wind
Softly, in clouds of envy
Gracefully, in an atmosphere of jealousy
I see those eyes, fireflies in time
I observe those eyes, flickering like fireflies, as time progresses
