Desi Shoegaze Taiko
[Verse 1: Heems]
Back in the day when pagers was the rage
I was see-through, I was paging all the babes
It must've been like 1995
They rocked the door knockers
Looking mighty fine
The 143 my code 76
I was dreaming and scheming of getting rich
Because Renee used this code too
When ?
Ay yo, music gets me high
Before the days of email and press "reply'
Down like that
Brown like that
Who you know make a sound like that
I was with Mike when the towers came down
Now we make the powerful sound
I used to do the powder in pounds
Now I'm all grown-up, showering down
I smell like money
Aha, my money smell funny
A ha ha hee hee, yo I keep it one hundred
My folks had the candy shop on Queens Boulevard
Same as back then, the people gotta hustle hard
Mom said bogeys used to cost a buck fifty
Now they cost enough to cost a dude a buck fifty
You ain't 'bout that life
You ain't even gotta worry, dog
New York native, always in a hurry yo
Burning loosies in my room my ? kinda blurry yo
I'm riding on that DQ with hot nine on my stereo
Remember when the other kids in Queens called me Gandhi
Shivani watching MTV
Madonna and some Blondie
? watching ? looking cool as Fonzie
I was watching ?
Fab 5 Freddy, Rocksteady Crew, Cold Crush Brothers, only 92
I was only seven trying to ride my bike to cousins'
Used to talk about whips, now my cousins all stunting
Rock the flyest shit cause it never cost me nothing
And these other weirdo rappers ain't weird, now they fronting
Now let me show you something
[Verse 2: Heems]
Bad with expressions, child of immigrants
They say I'm white, invisible melanin
Melanoma, Medellin, Melatonin Acetylene?
Drowning out everything
Many things better than
Money things, funny things, many things venison
Jameson, Hennessy, kick it like soccer
Swinging like tennis shit, make you feel proper
Kick it real proper
Shannen Doherty, Pete Doherty, cute shorty in Prada
She think I got paper, she don't know that I got nada
Amway, Shamwow, Man Ray, Dada
Guap from her pop, she get it from her father
Mary J., Avon, Avant, Akon
Akron, Magnums, action shake on
Snakes on plates on tables of mahogany
Ebony, ivory
Everyone be jocking me
They wanna be my friend again
And again at Bennigan's, and then again
It's just limerick shenanigans
Lamping on a couch at Raymour and Flanigan
Ethan Allen, Ethan Hawke, Ethan Coen, Joel too
I be in bodegas, I don't go to Whole Foods
