52 Lashings
Smoove Moves Amidst Life's Unseen Forces
Lyrics
Right after the blunt's done and
After finishing the marijuana blunt
The licks is thru here come the bodeans
Once criminal activities are over, the authorities arrive
(woop woop) right on cue
Sirens sound on time
All bright lights and threats
Surrounded by intense lights and threats
But all they ever seem to
However, they only discover a lingering scent
Find is a lingering odor
Fingers coated with drug residue
Fingertips slick with residue
Despite this, forces make the person kneel in the mud
Nevertheless, they make him hit the deck
Subjected to a search, including checking the shoes
And stand barefoot in the mud
Engaging in petty actions they enjoy
While they check his shoes
Referencing the stereotypical practices of law enforcement
Type petty shit they love to do
Acknowledging racial identity with tough feet
(you know how they do) but I'm an African
Pager alerts, indicating improvement in the situation
Feet tough like meat for stew
The moment is opportune
My beeper alert, thе show improve
Forgetting the names of acquaintances
Goes off at the prеcise moment
Claiming ignorance about certain individuals
It behooves to forget the names of crew
Pretending not to know them
Like, "pshh, I don't know them dudes"
Appearing carefree without any hints
All smiles and no clues
Having the aroma of cannabis and alcohol
Smelling like skunk and brews
Surrounded by a group of people, confidently smooth
In a circle of hooves, grinning like
Referencing a popular TV show, asserting confidence
"Yes sir, I do think I'm pretty smoove"
Personal identity in a car, causing damage
Parker Lewis Can't Lose
Leaving a provocative message
I'm the guy in the ‘86 Buick
Comparing oneself to a historical figure
That scraped your brand new candy Land Cruise
Current status akin to Malcolm X post-pilgrimage
And left a note
Referencing a location with historical significance
Like if you want a fund terror, sell coke
Suggesting alternatives to supporting terrorism
Or buy my first album
Promoting the artist's first album
My first verse was Malcolm after Hajj
Claiming an evolution in style, akin to Malcolm X
Now a n straight laid up in the Texas Book
Current status in an obscure location
Depository like it's Virginia Beach
Referencing another location with historical relevance
Muttering that Lord Willin'
Muttering about fate while referring to Clipse lyrics
These Clipse will hit his chillen
Noticing the arrival of another group
Don't look now but We Got It 4 Cheap
Reference to a mixtape, indicating a continuation
Part two, blue trees blown in bashments
Describing a relaxed setting with drug use
Bubble hash is shark food
Metaphorically linking substances to prey
Errybody coming for a pull
Everyone seeking a share
These fake-me-out tan boots was half price
Describing the acquisition of discounted boots
So I got two
Purchasing two pairs due to affordability
But that ain't the reason I kick
Stating that the toughness exceeds others
It twice as hard as you
Acknowledging the perception but emphasizing effort
Still, I understand why they think
Understanding why others may think success is easy
‘It Must Be The Shoes'
Referring to a popular sneaker campaign
My technique is a Swoosh
Describing personal style as iconic and powerful
Sewed on some Payless
Mentioning a lower-cost alternative
Middle school with the fake Guess
Recalling a time of financial constraint and imitation
Ns need to fake less
Advising others to be authentic
Stop looking for a treasure chest
Discouraging unrealistic expectations
In this pool of cess
Commenting on a challenging environment
Getting gassed up at Hess
Warning against false confidence
But who am I to talk? I plan to be next
Expressing personal
Comment
