dj shadow - taxin' (long version) lyrics
[intro]
right, right
right, right
right, right
[verse 1: dave east]
if there’s a ghetto in heaven i hope that’s leaked address
whole pockets empty, was mad stressed
the block had to study like math test
f-ck it, jump out a bucket, i’m thuggin’ in public
my life in a rush and n0body can touch it
i climbed out the gutter eating bread and b-tter
jealous of my living struggle with my mother
did it with my brother, grew up with my cousin
blew up on these n-ggas, they can’t even stomach
i ain’t asked for nothing, i ain’t asked for nothing
i was out here hustling,nickel to a onion, onion to a plate
shadow got me zoning, conversate with omens
momma told me “son [?] diploma”
cooking in the kitchen, crack was the aroma
pots full of powder, sit on a napkin, let it dry, we riding
any block we sliding [?]
i been so committed, shorty so explicit
everything i got on, you know it’s expensive
everything i get on, critical condition
run up on this money, i would always listen
tryna make it happen in front of [?] building
early in the morning i was waiting on a package (true story)
global now, getting bookings all across the atlas
i roll up the gladness and watch out for badges
my b-tch is the baddest
life is worth much more than a patek
always elite, can’t do nothing average
he got in a beef, he ain’t really know the game he didn’t really know was jacking
it was like 20 degrees outside, they took off his jacket
i seen a lot of my homies change up when i started rapping (a lot)
i fell out with my plug ’cause he started taxin’
[interlude]
uh-huh
yeah
uh-huh
1,2,1,2,1,2
1,2
[verse 2: loyle carner]
uh-uh, ’bout time
bump dave east on the south side
in a love seat on the frontline
feel deep in the backseat where the clouds higher
brown eyes, 5’9″
all that type and about mine
in the same old spot [?]
[?] everybody wanna talk about grime
what i knew about rap
never handled [?]
never handled [?] that, facts
i was [?]
[?] kids ready to attack in fact
[?] i was laying on my back
yo, i never could forget that beating
[?] to relive that evening
laid broke with my head swole bleeding
metaphor for this life i’m leading
all the terms i was leaving
[?] for the nights i’m grieving
[?] even
no comeback season
i got left with a bunch of scars
i’m on a track with younger nas
i better come correct [?] connect
[?] i was a h–rder
what you know about bricks and mortar
[?] ice in the water
was a private, call her [?]
fresh hair cut with a side parting and a border
[?]
keep the champagne, not a [?]
[?] not a real rap follower
if it’s all shat like a champagne swallower
i’ll leave you in a twist like oliver
when i borrow an emcee’s sh-t, don’t copy you
[?] don’t bother you
[?]
[?] saying that the streets don’t love me and i love them
please don’t trust me, i don’t trust them
still wanna touch me, [?] than it does them
’cause [?] dirt
see it from the stains on my shirt
i was raised on my j’s, wasn’t raised in no church
raised in the states, label my worth like
label my worth like
