Annakin Slayd - Loud lyrics

rate me

Sometimes I press my palm onto my chest to make sure I'm alive

Sometimes I slam on the brakes before I find the drive

Got a soapbox to stand on, a torch to hand on

Flyin' high but we ain't got no runway to land on

I see these cats flossing in their Sean John suits

It's like they don't give a fuck if their mic's on mute

I see the violence, the girls, the diamonds, the pearls

But the only thing forever is the rhyming, these words

Can I make it the game without being greedy

Can I get the love that I want without being needy

In every two second line, I fit fifteen words

That's two hundred forty truths for every sixteen verse

I made a wish to be rich on each Hi Ho

But knowing is half the battle for each GI: JOE

Yo! our parents didn't consider this music

Maybe it's cuz we never figured out how to use it

When I'm out and down

I crank the volume loud

Cuz I've been waiting for so long to sing it out

Lalalalaloud

Lalalalaloud

Lalalalaloud

It's like I'm losing I'm mind, and that ain't good for my sanity

They told me life ain't fair and that ain't good for my vanity

Trying to get to the ends, but I can't find the means

Trying to sew up the world because it's not what it seems

It's just me, Johnny Walker Black and Lamont Dozier

I'm drunk off the music and I don't wanna be sober

I know that Anni's starting to sound like a downer

But every year my birth certificate gets browner

It's harder to give up so I keep going

It's difficult to shut up so I keep flowing

It's impossible to lay down so I keep fighting

Sick of all the barking, so I keep biting

They're trying to close me down, but I won't pack up

I'm like porn site man, I pop back up

It seems like hip hop dies a little each day

Rappers don't have to sing, but I'ma do it anyway

When I'm out and down

I crank the volume loud

Cuz I've been waiting for so long to sing it out

Lalalalaloud

Lalalalaloud

Lalalalaloud

I'm gonna do it now, I'm gonna do it now

Before my time runs out, I've gotta let it out

I've gotta sing it loud

They say to listen to your heart, that's why I speak to the beat

Trying to find my direction like “Never eat Shredded Wheat”

I know it's a material world but I don't like the texture

I guess I could go on and on, but I don't like to lecture

Tell me what's the point when it might go right through ya

So I'ma stop talking shit and let this music do ya

Cause when I think about High School I pop in theWu

When I hear Al green I think of my ex-boo

Can't listen to Kanye without seeing Cancun

When I play that Pac song and think of my Mom too

And Stevie Nicks reminds me of the woman I love

And Stevie Wonder makes me think of heaven above

Listen, this track's sounding like an Oprah show

Anni usually likes to take a less hopeful note

Yeah, I wanna say that hip hop is poised to die

But sometimes I should shut up and just enjoy the ride

When I'm out and down

I put the volume loud

I've been waiting for so long to sing it out

Lalalalaloud

Lalalalaloud

Lalalalaloud

I'm gonna do it now, I'm gonna do it now

Before my time runs out, I've gotta let it out

I've gotta sing it loud
