Plugs And Connections

(album: All The Brilliant Things - 2021)

Don't take it personal, baby
Nah
Or maybe yeah
Real plugs and connections
Real plugs and connections
Real plugs and connections
Plugs and connections
Plugs and connections

Real plugs and connections
Grew up hearing non prescription drugs was an investment
Dreams is semi-auto but your runs is fully tested
And learn to make a way to what you love with what you're left with
And love the unexpected, learn to love what you live with
Protecting what you love so you jump in front of your building
Like jumping in front of your children, whether for territory
Or knowing the prices next to whatever's left of the story
Or knowing the right connect can be just what you might expect
And it's all a go til you get shown how high it gets
And it's open like idle threats, and you know what you might've kept
In the mirror looking like let me know what you might suggest
'Til they stepping all on your real estate, said it's mine now
Went and took it while you was resting, like fuck you crying bout?
Crocodile tears in the lobby blow the volume out
'Til the right song come along and turn their volume down

Real plugs and connections
Get a handle on it and you'll plug the interceptions
And what you're standing on could be the plug that you suspected
What's done is done and when it's done it's undetected

Brownstone owner offered my pops to buy the building
He was 34, Lil too young to find that appealing
Now he sip a Heiney and he reflect on what he left
But now he own a restaurant in Atlanta, so no regrets
But won't forget what might've been, clientele piling in
And nobody resembling nobody we out here with
Like look at who tryna spend, able to know what's left
Story few and far between to repeat so don't hold your breath
But still, connected to home being forever
And all the reasons we said so seated together
But they ain't need permission to pull up and see a vision
So all the reasons we said no equals whatever
And it all circles back to real plugs and connections
Ain't nobody tell nobody what's to be expected
Your feet up on the couch until they run in where you resting
And walk you out your house, through the front, no deception at all

Back to real plugs and connections
'Cause ain't nobody tell nobody what's to be expected
Your feet up on the couch until they run in where you resting
And walk you out your house, through the front, no deception at all
Real plugs and connections
