Lyrics
Quincy, tell 'em
Quincy is being asked to communicate something.
One phone, one line all summer
Using one phone and one line throughout the summer.
One take on life, can't fuck up
Having one perspective on life and the inability to mess it up.
One take on life, can't fuck up
-This that Michael Owen, '96 'til '02
Reference to Michael Owen, the footballer, during the years '96 to '02.
Gettin' packs for a mission for a '42
Procuring packages, potentially referencing alcohol ('42).
They just dog food, I be soul food, ah
Others are compared to dog food while the artist is soul food.
And this is way before I sold food
Life circumstances before involvement in selling goods.
Bitches fuckin' up my whole mood
Dealing with negative impacts from relationships.
Tellin' me I'm so rude
-I tell 'em I ain't regular
-Tell 'em I'm a cold dude
-You don't get far in life bein' nice
People's weaknesses and evil intentions hinder genuine progress.
'Cause if people, yeah, they feeble, yeah, they evil
-They don't want a real come up
-Trappin' 'til it's sun up
Engaging in illegal activities and being constantly occupied.
Lappy with a copper
-Never home for supper
-Mist in the every days
Referencing misty days over a series of summers.
Been like four summers
-Balenciaga runners
Wearing expensive Balenciaga sneakers and participating in confrontations.
Still I do the run up
-I watch real jiggers make it, then they plummet
Observing successful individuals rise and fall, holding meetings with associates.
We have meetings with the bruddas like a summit
-They lookin' for attention, bro, just burnin'
Not succumbing to attention-seeking behavior, valuing consistency.
We got a lot to lose, I'm consistent with the onions
-Breakin' dem without the tears
Maintaining relationships, experiencing anxiety but relying on faith.
Breakin' bread with all my peers
-Panicked couple times but you know, it's only God I fear
-'Cause I bleed like you, bleed
Asserting uniqueness and success while wearing Calvin Klein underwear.
Only I'm in seventh gear
-I got Calvins on my underwear
-No, literally, I got that Calvin in my underwear
-And they shifty, you know, I don't get no funds to scare
Encountering law enforcement but claiming difficulties in hearing.
Officers askin' if I got the gear
-Sorry constable, I got difficulties, I can't hear
-And the cloth they made me from, yeah, it's kinda rare
Highlighting the rarity and uniqueness of one's origin and composition.
And the cloth they made me from, yeah, it's kinda rare
-Uh, and it's kinda rare
-Uh, oh yeah, and it's kinda rare
-One phone, one line all summer
Reiteration of using one phone and one perspective, emphasizing independence.
One take on life, can't fuck up
-I bone one night, no hug ups
-I take this cash, all one up
-One phone, one line all summer
-One take on life, can't fuck up
-I bone one night, no hug ups
-I take this cash, all one up
-I don't really care about a postcode
Disregarding geographical affiliations, focusing on selling illegal goods.
Ask RB, I get them packs sold
-Any size, I bag those
-Every time my bag close
-Lifestyle private, I ain't got a brag bro
-'Cause braggin' what they always do
-Contemplatin' on a half a food
Contemplating decisions regarding illegal activities and fashion.
Should I shot it? Should I stop it?
-And this shot is for a fashion nigga, points to prove
-Now we ain't got points to lose
-Just up, we use in this life of sin
Reflecting on the harshness of life and motivations for illegal actions.
Little jiggers runnin' 'round puttin' knife to skin
-Goin' school up in the mornin', readin' Mice of Men
-Grab the re and get the price on them
-Comin' to the table, bring a slice, my friend
-And they do it for the net, yeah, they want a trend
-And I do it for the dunga, I got guap to spend
-All these headers really made us all from boys to men
Growing up due to challenging circumstances, not referring to boy bands.
Yeah, boys to men
-We ain't talkin' boy bands
-Hit him in his vehicle, joy hands
Encountering violence and struggle but striving for success despite challenges.
I know acts that do it point-blank
-We're all just little fishes in this whole tank
-But me, I'm a lion in this jungle
-Ah, Huncho, yeah, I gotta eat
-Ah, and my brothers, yeah, they lions too
-They claimin' that they know me, but they envy me
-One phone, one line all summer
Repetition of the theme of using one phone and one viewpoint, focusing on success.
One take on life, can't fuck up
-I bone one night, no hug ups
-I take this cash, all one up
-One phone, one line all summer
-One take on life, can't fuck up
-I bone one night, no hug ups
-I take this cash, all one up
-All this losing sight shit, that's bullshit fam
Rejecting the idea of losing focus and asserting success.
Mans winnin' out here
