Speakeasy

(album: Shadows And Shinings - 2021)

You got a password, mate?
A password?
Yeah, you can't come in without a password
I don't know, fucking, art-deco?
Art-deco? What kind of a fucking password is art-deco, mate? That's a shit password

Let me paint a picture like Picasso
While you got a couple marbles as brain in your nogging
I got a couple marble columns in my holiday house
Draped in foliage, the beat got you nodding
Like the suns ray bouncing off the bonnet of my old
Gold Ford Model T convertible
Word to all my bootlegging friends running parties
But no one does a speakeasy better than Jeswon and Draphty
Got valet parking, like you at the ballet
Couple of alley cats with dry martinis
You can't escape that my suit is off the chains
Like my name's Houdini, but I ain't no genie
Never seen me cold camping in a cloud of smoke
I got a lady named Daisy like the cows came home
Sitting mingling with stars like Ringos stool
Looking real good in a flamingo pool

Can't shut us up or shut us down, yeah
Yeah, we're flowing like a barrel full of vino
Whole team's looking real premo
Can't shut us up or shut us down, no no
Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Got the whole team looking illegal, but I'm

Just tryna find a way
To turn my sorrows to a serenade
When life gives you lemons, make a change
Turn that shit into a lemonade

If you weren't down from the jump, I don't wanna fraternise
You can find me bumping Makaveli in the ride
Tryna write a classic like it's Catcher in the Rye
Man, these rappers wanna bite, I got a snapper on the line
Reel it in, I got a massive appetite
Pauly, mi hermano, we about the family ties
Everything is peachy, serve up this ceviche
Season it with lemon and a little dash of lime
'Cause on the real you never know when it's time to go
Adios, I'ma run it up like it's cardio
Vocabulario, I been the realest in the barrio
So I ain't running out of steam on this party boat
Glass half empty or glass half full
Waking up from the soirée at half-past two
Cuidado con tu chica and your madre too
Homie, you don't speak the lingo, you don't parlez-vous

Can't shut us up or shut us down, yeah
Yeah, we're flowing like a barrel full of vino
Whole team's looking real premo
Can't shut us up or shut us down, no no
Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Got the whole team looking illegal, but I'm

Just tryna find a way
To turn my sorrows to a serenade
When life gives you lemons, make a change
Turn that shit into a lemonade, said I'm
Just tryna find a way
To turn my sorrows to a serenade
When life gives you lemons make a change
Turn that shit into a lemonade
