royce da 5’9” - boblo boat lyrics
[intro: sample + cedric the entertainer]
“cruising down the river; dancing till your feet got numb; cool summer breezes blowing through your hair as you stood gazing down the river in antic-p-tion of the thrill of the dizzying rides at the amus-m-nt park—ah, memories of bob-lo island.”
all is your world ain’t nothing but a squirrel tryna get a nut. just jealous of everybody that’s headed out on that bob-lo boat. it is the perfect weather and the perfect time to enjoy a few snacks. aw, man, i wish i was joining you—a little cheese and crackers, a little ghetto wine, a little rear medium lights, some hardy rizla green—but let’s do this, only on smooth fm.
[verse 1: royce da 5’9″]
nothing compared to our family trips
my uncle shook hands with a manly grip
all this hand-me-down-sh-t; i had had an uncanny fit
all the gangstas i had in my family had me anti-b-tch
my granddaddy mistress caught the business from my granny fist
that was back ‘fore i was born
pop told stories ’bout it that would last for hours-long
and as a family we was just so happy when him and mama got along
on the bob-lo boat
uh, on our way to that black amus-m-nt park
wood rollercoasters, crack sold on plastic scooter cards
uh, smoking gr-ss at the vintage food court
broken gl-ss, waiting on you on the swimming pool floor
i came across my ident-ty on the bob-lo boat
that’s where i lost my virginity, no condom, though
that’s when paranoia hit me like when superst-tion does
left my inhibitions i guess where my supervision was
parties on the way to the island would be the livest, though
first time big bro hit the bottle was on the bob-lo boat
but neither one of us knew that we would both
grow up and turn to alcoholics, though, the bob-lo boat
[interlude: voice]
hey, hey, hey, lil’ craig, come here. aye, hit this, n-gg-. n-gg-, don’t worry ’bout what the f-ck it is, just drink!
[bridge: j. cole]
yeah yeah, yeah
some of my better times, i shared with you
i shared with you, yeah
sh-t, all of my better days, i shared with you
i shared with you, sh-t
and now i gotta wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
sh-t, stuck inside a rat race (f-ck)
rat race (f-ck, f-ck)
wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up again
stuck inside this rat race (f-ck)
yeah, look
[verse 2: j. cole]
twist the cap, lift the bottle back, swig it
dig it, ten-inch rims on my mama’s civic
ten-inch woofers in the trunk, to be specific
they b-mp, rattle the license plate, plus the windows tinted
don’t even give a f-ck that it’s dented, b-tch, i’m the man now
i’m rolling, driving it slow as if it’s stolen
piling up bros like we was clothing on a dresser
calling up hoes like we was jodeci, let’s check her
double d’s like double-deckers, i wanna s-x her
but these keys don’t come with game on how to finesse her
five semesters left until college, i’m under pressure
i’m not a real n-gg- ’til i undress her, i gotta ‘press her
this was my main concern back when concerns were lesser
nowadays, i often yearn to press the
backsp-ce b-tton or hit return but life is not no word processor
most folks would burn the sess to burn the stress of
my real-life trauma plus fickle n-gg-s thinking they done heard the best of
jermaine lamarr but that’s insane, it couldn’t be further left of
the truth is that my new sh-t slap, you never heard it better
give me a sec, i murder sectors, prefer to let ya
see it rather than say it, but it spill out, i gotta chill out
say “f-ck the world” and never pull out
we had no bob-lo boat but i could note those times is like a bible quote
bc, before cellphones, the first time i would smoke
i was 6-years-old, but that’s for another chapter
that’s for another story, to god be the glory
i made it out unscathed and now i sunbathe
with my son in tanzanian sunrays thinking ’bout them days
thinking ’bout them days
