SLIDIN

(Album: L O W B L O W - 2023)

[nobigdyl.:] Hey Mykael, Mykael Jon's recording man
[Jon Keith:] Yo, so much with the... we good

[Jon Keith:]
Lately, I ain't been on no island
Baby, how you know where to find me
Crazy, I was all in God's timing
They hate me, but I'm still going diamond
Came up quick, used to slip, now we sliding
Mouth full of gold, used to glow, now we shining
Came up quick, used to slip, now we sliding
Stuck to the code, used to glow, now we shining

Got it out the dirt (Ayy)
I used to think I need a dime to tell me what I'm worth (Come on, what's your worth? Your worth, your worth)
I never run out of these lines if stay in the verse (Yeah)
I was the very last one, you think we'll come in first
I took the red pill
Grandma said she wit' it long as I can pay the bills
Told her, "When I make it, she get house up on the hills"
Last year, she ain't make it
How am I supposed to feel
I can't follow through the deal
But labels calling 'bout some deals
Ain't doing no explaining
Slid on thin ice, you're lying to entertain
Holy smoke, I'm on the highs till the devil want a fade
We made it to twenty-five, haha feel amazing

Lately, I ain't been on no island
Baby, how you know where to find me
Crazy, I was all in God's timing
They hate me, but I'm still going diamond
Came up quick, used to slip, now we sliding
Mouth full of gold, used to glow, now we shining
Came up quick, used to slip, now we sliding
Stuck to the code, used to glow, now we shining

[Mogli the Iceburg:]
Uh uh
Let me talk to 'em (Let me talk)
Realness, the only language that I got for 'em (Yeah, I got 'em)
A lot of questions on my mind, I couldn't stop to 'em
Know the righteousness and only measure what you not doing
Where's the fruit (Where is it)
Keep it a buck, man I went off the rails
After I had my heart broken, cut in half, and impaled
I cut the light off from the source, I didn't handle it well
My body count went to the moon
I put my spirit through hell
But still, I see redemption when I look at my wife (Yes sir)
And I'm reminded of the goodness found in following Christ (Uh huh)
Now I'm flying 'round the country rocking crowds with the mic
And all the pain up in my verses, filling kids up with life
I'm saying

[nobigdyl.:]
Yeah, Dyllie
Grew up in a world that didn't want me living (They want me dead bro)
Bullied 'cause I had a father and my father's pigment (Had my father's pigment)
That's from both sides, didn't fit in my whole life (Both)
Robbed me from the cold, and now them same folks wanna coat-ride (Gimme that coat boy)
Dreams are going gold and platinum, mo' tithe
The motive is to medicate emotions that I go hide
Oh my, mama couldn't see me with the fo'-five
(Oh my, mama couldn't see me with the fo'-five)
Little did she know my type of demon on the world-wide
(Little did she know my type of demon on the world-wide)
Web, I kept a couple dozen secrets man I won't lie (Yeah)
Confession was the key He used to free me (I'm free)
The son came in right on schedule, He not a premie
Hoping every season that you see Him when you see me (You feel me)
