The Experience
Skyzoo Lyrics

Smothered chicken as far as breakfast goes
We indulge in comfort and abundance, even in the morning

Shout out to the left overs that left us those
We appreciate the remains that provide sustenance

Cheese grits like a remix how we stretching those
We creatively expand our resources, like remixing a song

In ninth grade Pierre would keep his weapon close
Even in our youth, we were exposed to violence and danger

I still treat breakfast the same, my friends still catch wreck with their aim
I maintain my habits while my friends pursue their goals with determination

I'm still henny and coke, and speaking of
I'm still enjoying my preferred drink, and as I mention it

We was surrounded by it
We were constantly surrounded by alcohol and its culture

And ducking all the jewels from the users on that diet
We avoided the negative influences and temptations from drug users

And we ain't have the heart to try it but saw the brave ones
Although we didn't have the courage to experiment, we admired those who did

And looked at that as a jewel on how they became one
We regarded their experiences as valuable lessons in their personal growth

We all shared last names with them same ones
We belonged to the same community and culture as those individuals

And Penny's where I learned my J from, I'm built how I'm built
I gained basketball skills at Penny's place, and I am shaped by my experiences

Solo artist but I never had to sing alone
I pursued my own path, but I always had support and collaboration

The scent creed and the Timb's is never single sole
The fragrance and Timb's boots always come as a pair to me

The whip was low enough for me to be low
The car I drove was modest and allowed me to stay humble

But loud enough for you to be in the know
However, it still had enough presence to make others aware of my presence

Know we salute to the experience
We acknowledge and honor the lessons learned from our collective life experiences

We were the loud ones with quiet souls
We projected ourselves boldly, but deep down, we were introspective

Intentions well and good but buried underneath over pricing
We had good intentions, but they often got overshadowed by material desires

We wanted nothing more than everything, simply everything
We desired abundance and success in every aspect of life

Whatever that entails, we wanted it and still do
We wanted all the rewards and consequences that came with it, and we still do

Still do we never sit still, as being settle is being settled
We never stay idle because settling means accepting a stagnant life

And we could never became that
We refused to conform to a life of settling

And never will
And we will continue to resist settling in the future

Grew up with a bunch of Lenny Cooke's
We were surrounded by talented individuals who didn't reach their full potential

May God bless 'em all like a Biggie hook
We hope for blessings upon those individuals, just like in a Biggie song

They hooked us early as far as the way these women look
We were influenced at a young age by the attractiveness of women

And looking for 'em had us looking for a bigger push
The pursuit of women motivated us to strive for success

Call it the laws of attraction baby
We attribute our actions to the concepts of attraction and desire

It's nothing more than a reaction baby, we push this to get you
Our pursuit of success and abundance is merely a response to our desires, and we do it all for you

Whatever 'this' is, as long as what it gets is
We pursue different ventures, as long as they bring us the desired outcomes

All that we assumed but shit you know the way that this fits
It all aligns with our expectations, you know how everything fits together

In square trucks Tryna bring a couple models 'round
In our luxury cars, we aim to attract attractive women

The same ones who brought your bottles down
These women are the same ones who served us drinks

I bottled up the ambition and passed it around the room
I shared my ambitions with others, like passing a bottle of liquor

'Til half us around the room know the logic now
Until half of the people in the room understand the reasoning behind it

And all of us ain't see the vision so some of us got left behind
Not everyone understood the bigger picture, so some of us didn't progress

But nothing could yet divide us from our calling now
Despite the differences, we remain united and committed to our purpose

Like how the call to the corner was as sweet as quarter water
We found allure in the dangerous streets, despite its harshness

All for you to wanna climb up on us now
Now that we've achieved success, others want to be associated with us

Salute to the experience
We respect and honor the lessons and growth gained from our experiences

Sweeter than sweet potato soufflé
Our journey and accomplishments are more satisfying than a delicious dessert

Store runs for extra sugar and those runs showed us
We went on errands to get additional resources, and those actions taught us

More than those who sent us ever would've
We gained more knowledge and understanding than those who guided us expected

Or as sweet as a scam that left our finger prints dirty
The thrill of a successful scam, despite its immoral nature, tainted our reputation

But our sneakers clean and our company cleaner
While our actions may have been unethical, we maintained a polished appearance

The taste of life in all its glory
We experienced life to the fullest, embracing both the good and the bad

Be it Harvard or heinous, we took it where none would take it
We pursued education and unlawful activities without hesitation, going where others wouldn't

And poured Henny over its glory
We celebrated our accomplishments and indulged in the luxuries that came with it

Back when me and Biz played the coupe
In the past, when me and Biz drove around in a two-door car

He showed me the lane, I showed him stoops
He taught me how to navigate through life, and I showed him the neighborhood

We showed each other money, and loyalty be everything it seems to
We taught each other the value of money and the importance of loyalty

So lil' Biz will be straight if you ever need dude
My friend Biz will be fine and reliable if you ever require assistance

The same agenda applies to all of my friends who
All of my friends have the same goals and principles

Saw that coinciding was nothing coincidental
We understood that our similar paths were not a mere coincidence

Never, it's just the way we're put together
It's simply our nature and how we are built as individuals

And none of this shit could be any better
We wouldn't want our lives to be any different

Salute to experience
We pay tribute to the wisdom and growth from our collective experiences

A generation generating genius
Our generation is producing talented and intelligent individuals

Hard headed like the curb beneath us
We are stubborn and tenacious, just like the concrete curb beneath our feet

They say in the absence of logic you search for motive
People believe that when there is no logical explanation, you seek a reason

But really motive defines us based on being aware of logic
However, our motivations are determined by our awareness and understanding of logic

And aware of the dollars and yea mo' money mo' problems
We are conscious of the importance of money, but we also recognize that it brings additional challenges

But no money no options, see the logic
Without money, we have limited choices and opportunities, which is logical

And for that, we salute to the experience
Therefore, we acknowledge and honor the lessons learned from our life experiences
