Say Somethin’ lyrics
by 2 Mello
[Intro]
Mic check, one two, one two~
Mic check, one two, one two~
Mic check, one two, one two~
Mic check, one two, one two~
[Verse 1]
I got a new flavor coffee, I got an old flavor rap
Equip the A1 tones to make too-cool kids relax
B-boys hounding for the sounds
2015, my bank account was nowhere to be found, look at me now
Hardcore composer, 4 to the floor
Spinnin' glitterin' sunny shores, worry never, no more
Promoters score off me, lab rats want the cheese
Flip your expectations with ease; oh, please
You say you're makin' big moves? Adjust my aim by degrees
I see you breaking the rules, before you know what they be
I'll see you taken for rides, while I am given the keys
Because success loves to hide, but failure wants to be seen
But I won't give it the pleasure, I'm risin', measure by measure
I'm makin' money by minutes, but keepin' grip on my tether
I'm whippin' the competition
Collectin' more hearts than Castlevania
Hit me to catch the Jet Set mania
[Hook]
If you feel it and you like the sound
(Say somethin', say somethin')
People, bring it a little closer now
(Say somethin' say somethin')
Heart warm with a cold style
(Say somethin', say somethin')
Transform, then we roll out
(Say somethin', say somethin')
When you see me in the streets, say
(Say somethin', say somethin')
If you like the fresh beats, pay
(Pay somethin', pay somethin')
New ideas each and every day
(They somethin', they somethin')
Ayy-yay~
[Verse 2]
I know they gonna say somethin' 'bout how I'm rappin' again
Most that grab my album don't know how I be grabbin' the pen
I come and stab 'em again, they can't get mad at the kid
Just go look at what I did, put back the grind in your skid
It's just the biz, money talks, I only listen when I spend
Just to live, then I go and make it all back again
With millennial friends, celebrate the last days
Raise hell and grab praise through a love-drunk haze
I feel I'm falling, but the music props me up in ways
Haters calling, but the lovers lop it up, I just sway
And sashay to the timin' of the beat and perfect lines
Bass correcting my spine, this is the only divine
I'll take my time
[Hook]
If you feel it and you like the sound
(Say somethin', say somethin')
People, bring it a little closer now
(Say somethin', say somethin')
Heart warm with a cold style
(Say somethin', say somethin')
Transform, then we roll out
(Say somethin', say somethin')
When you see me in the streets, say
(Say somethin', say somethin')
If you like the fresh beats, pay
(Pay somethin', pay somethin')
New ideas each and every day
(They somethin', they somethin')
Ayy-yay~
[Outro (spoken)]
Y'know, sometimes
Actually, a lot of times, actually never
Uh, people come up to me on the street
And they say: "Hey, you're that guy who raps."
And I'm like: "Ehhhh, yeah, I am."
And they ask: "Hey, can you freestyle something for me real quick? You know, just, real quick, to uh, prove your worth as a human being and, uh, as an artist?"
And I'm like "No. I can't actually. But I can, uh, dramatically arrange seven to ten layers of, of mouth sounds to make an entire instrumental. I can do that. I have a very talented mouth, and I can do that on my phone right now, and would you like me to do that?"
And they say: "...No."
And I walk away
