Phonte has guested on numerous records by other artists, often as a vocalist on songs by the Justus League collective. He made a guest appearance on the song "Beats N' Rhymes" by Kev Brown's album I Do What I Do, and has also recorded tracks with producer Oddisee, both members of the Washington D.C (DMV)-based Low Budget Crew. In 2006, he was featured on producer DJ Shadow's The Outsider album. In the following year he contributed vocals to rap group Playaz Circle's "Paper Chaser", from their album Supply & Demand.
Rapper/Singer/Producer Phonte Lyshod Coleman hails from Durham, North Carolina (born December 29, 1978). Co-founder of the now defunct hip hop group Little Brother and hip hop/R&B group The Foreign Exchange.
He has also recorded R&B-flavored output as a singer (often under the pseudonym Percy Miracles). His rhymes tend to be no-frills perspectives on working-class life.
Waiting 4 Ya
Phonte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
London! Everybody in the house
Make some noise)
(Base for your face, base for your
Face, base for your face, base
For your face, base for your
Face, base for your face
Base for your face) 9th Wonder
(Based for your face all day
Based for ya face, my nigga it's all - yeah)
Brrrangdang, yeah thank you BasedGod
This is real life from long nights
Niggas like me I bounce back it's alright
(Alright) base for your face two times
You don't see no actin'
All they do is rhyme words
Such typical rappers
I was defined by the struggle, Metro phones
Got pictures of my partners that died
People like me
Cried a whirlwind came from drugs and guns
Used to call them cocaine numb
(Numb, real baseheads)
Niggas killas drive-by
The AK-47 took them little kids lives
All these young niggas, it's like a movie
Putting dots on they shirt
Talking about Coogi (No)
This is change (Yes) , please excuse me
I rep BasedWorld, nigga, please
Don't lose me, lil B
Base for your face, base for your
Face, base for your face, base for your face
Base for your face, base for your
Face, base for your face, base for your face
Real complex rap
Yeah, I just speak, you connect the dots
I'm a rabblerouser
The other rebels they crowd around her
To rebel levels are leveled up
In the several thousands
Records house her like Africa
Read the jungle brothers
This is for townships
Backpackers and seasoned lovers of music
Lil B's in love with the music
So leave a brother to use it
Lead the public to new shit
See the puppets ain't do it
You keepin' up what they viewin'
You see the numbers they
Doin', you feedin' us, the three of us
Plus 9th more than Kanye cuff
Dykes or cuff mics
This my nigga Phonte, Based God
The above types
Above the boundaries of music
The counter-culture groovin'
The kind of combination got you puzzled
Culkin kunis
We do what we like so hit the comment section
Do this for life, so what we got in Common
Resurrection
We tryin' to bring everythin' back, man
Everything and that includes
Swag remember times I was strugglin'
Off my mindset remember that time will fly
Like a caterpillar
Graduate, I ain't even know that I shoulda
Sometimes don't hate when you know I coulda
Now I'm about to give back to the people
More than ever livin' like now or never
Sometimes people get distracted by
The outside hate life turned into appetizers
And I tell my niggas, be a man of your word
I be fakin' bottomless, fuck it sleepin'
Watch your sleep cause them
Suckas will trick ya, thinking about niggas
Don't change for nothin'
I go back niggas still
Swing J's and sufferin'
I'm moving up in the world
Gettin' humble as well
Stupid motherfuckers can't tell this real B
Base for your face, base for your
Face, base for your face, base for your face
Base for your face, base for your
Face, base for your face, base for your face
Real complex rap
Yeah, I just speak, you connect the dots
I'm back on my shit, pa back on my incline
Phontigga raisin' the benchmark
The young lions gave me a kick start
So here it is
Pyramid schemin' on y'all niggas like Quixtar
The drug test flow got you pissed off
So many say the game is contaminated
You niggas is animated
Meanin' you not real, fake nigga you Pixar
A short story, Toy Story 3
Where the kids are now we have lift off
So I'ma just stay firin'
Phontigallo low, stay flyin'
Y'all wannabe niggas stay tryin'
But God is my God, don't be ashamed
Swallow your pride just like a gay lion, roar
Came back for a taste, Lil B
Phontigga back on the case
Feeling like G money in my space
They ain't come back for the cocaine
They came back for the BASE
The lyrics to Phonte's song "Waiting 4 Ya" convey a mix of themes and emotions. The opening lines with the repeated phrase "base for your face" and the call for London to make some noise create an energetic and hype atmosphere. It sets the stage for the intensity of the following verses.
The first verse reflects on Phonte's real-life experiences and resilience. He acknowledges that, despite going through difficult times, he has always managed to bounce back. The phrase "base for your face two times" suggests that he is delivering a raw and authentic performance. He contrasts himself with typical rappers who only focus on rhyming words without delving deeper or being true to their struggles. The mention of Metro phones and losing friends to drugs and guns adds a somber note to the narrative, highlighting the harsh reality of violence and the impact it can have on communities.
The second verse shifts focus to the power of music and its ability to bring people together. Phonte describes himself as a "rabblerouser" and acknowledges the rebellious nature of his music. He emphasizes the importance of being authentic and true to oneself, going against what the mainstream industry dictates. Referencing Africa, the jungle brothers, and townships, he pays homage to the roots of music and its impact on different cultures. The collaboration between Phonte and Lil B, the Based God, represents a union between artists who strive to challenge boundaries and create unique and thought-provoking music.
The third verse sees Phonte reflecting on personal growth and the journey of success. He recalls times of struggle and how he has overcome them to reach a point where he can give back to the people. He discusses the distractions and negativity that can come from external sources, urging his listeners to stay true to themselves and not change for anyone. He emphasizes the importance of integrity and loyalty, reminding his friends to remain authentic. Moving up in the world, he remains humble and focused on his craft.
In the final verse, Phonte asserts his return to the music scene and his commitment to delivering high-quality work. He references the concept of a pyramid scheme, comparing it to the competitive nature of the industry. He suggests that many people view the game as tainted and criticize others for being fake. He emphasizes his own authenticity and skill, using wordplay to playfully diss those who lack the same level of honesty. The mention of Toy Story 3 and Pixar is a clever metaphor, suggesting that he is telling a short story and leaving a lasting impact. He concludes by expressing that people have come back not for drugs, but for the substance and depth of his music.

"THE DEFINITION OF NEO-SOUL / INDIE SOUL"
Neo-Soul / Indie Soul is a timeless musical genre that fuses real instrumental, Jazz, Contemporary R&B and 1970s-style Soul,Funk,Rock and Deep House Soul Music with some elements of Hip-Hop. As it's name (new soul) implies, Neo-Soul / Indie Soul music is essentially modern-day soul music, with contemporary attitudes and sensibilities. It differs from contemporary R&B in that it's organic and obviously more soulful,and it also tends to have deeper messages and meanings than R&B.
