tristan knight - in the wind lyrics

[intro: tristan knight]
i’ma take ’em back man
about, like 12 years ago
when i met (a-train tag)
i used work at target, and he would always come in and buy albums and
i would be like, “man, watch know about that sh-t?”
he told me he made beats and he sampled
so i’m like, “word man, i’m a rapper, we should link up sometime and u should even teach me how to make beats.”
and he was like, “nahhhhhhhh.”
but, eventually we, we linked up man and
this is the story that, started it all

[verse 1: tristan knight]

we used 2 roll in tha dynasty like we was tha roc
we ain’t really have much but a couple of ‘tops
hit guitar center, make a fire beat on tha spot
couldn’t afford nothin’ but we kept tha dreamin’ on lock
cause tha keys that i got could get me further than most
little did we know-tha music was keepin’ us close
shapin’ our future 2 live a better life on a coast
about 2 make us black stars like-kweli & mos
remember when u had tha blue escort?
wit tha 12s in tha trunk like air jordan?
and tha window on tha right side wouldn’t drop?
cause tha handle 4 tha door stayed on tha floor?
that mean we caught h-lla wind
cause we was boyz in tha hood like h-ller’s friend
but nothin’ was easy, sh-t, i lost h-lla friends
2 tha streets & i wonder will it ever end
now they blowin’ in tha wind

[dialogue: tristan knight]

now at this point
train eventually gave in, and was like, “cool, i’ma teach u how 2 make beats.”
i was super geeked man, i was really inspired at tha time
i think it was 2007
i started listening to like, all these cl-ssic albums and
figuring out what i wanted my sound 2 be
it’s crazy because
we used 2 ride around jus like, dreaming’ of all tha dope stuff that we would do
annnd, u know, tha songs we would make
annnd, well, eventually
i started getting better lyrically as well as a producer
well?…

[verse 2: tristan knight]

i never been a sucka, no life ain’t sweet
so i chose 2 go left, put my life on tha beat
like a cop on his job, stay carryin’ heat
in tha form of a song on a hard drive, buried in beats
uh
i seen tha street life take n-ggas under
it make u wonder when tha reaper gotcha number
from a city where they k!llin’ by tha hunnids
in tha winter, but it’s worse in tha summer
i used 2 hit up my n-gga 2 come and get me
so i could see and paint a gritty picture of tha city
thumbin’ thru tha rhymes in my mind like a rolodex
thinkin’ ‘bout tha time after time, i ain’t know what’s next
but i knew i had 2 blow-tho
so i had 2 wrap around like a yo-yo
and my dough was comin’ in on tha slow-mo
but i still kept my drive like a volvo
but that was blowin’ in tha wind

[outro: tristan knight]

fast forward a couple of years
now, like, we got tha wheels turnin’
made a couple of mixtapes
we got other producers in tha fold like
my guy dopie, and we got vaughn on vocals
and motizzy
and we was jus makin’ all tha best music that we could, ya know?
at tha time, i was like 20, 21, maybe even 22
so uhhh, we started like jus go around tha city 2 open mics
jus different spots like the crackhouse, the unt-tled botega, and
i would rap in these cyphers
jus 2 test my sk!lls against other mcs
it was real fun man
at that time i think it was like 2012
u know i was, i was really gettin’ into my, my, my artistic mind state
my independent mind state as an artist and, it was some of tha greatest times of my life man
and i’m really thankful for it
train, i appreciate u
(pause)
dopie, i appreciate u
motizzy, vaughn, i appreciate u
(drums breaks down)
yeah
