about
A nod to vintage west coast hip hop, Till We Golden is a track that bottles the essence of San Diego and pours it over chopped up jazz with a lush bass line.
lyrics
I’m an enigma, dreaming of big bucks
Put ‘em in a shred bin and watch ‘em get ripped up
Adrift at the Catalina isthmus
With the wise ones who discuss
How the world got so mixed up
All I can do is to do what I can
Improvise in lieu of a plan
But you better make it happen with your own two hands
Before that hourglass run out of sand, understand?
Cause I’ve been taught to handle loss
I write my flows from passing thoughts
Whether you Microsoft or Macintosh
I micro-dose and laugh it off
Sunshine on my face, blowing Bombay, cruising the causeway
I spend hot days in cooler palm shades
I wanted fame but I threw the ballgame
I’m an SD Padre doused in blue agave
And I-I remember when we rolled one
And I-I remember dodging close ones
But I tried and never thought of folding
Keep it west coastin', get it till we golden
I-I remember when we rolled one
And I-I remember dodging close ones,
But I tried and never thought of folding
Keep it west coastin', get it till we golden
Life is not for the weak, do not feel the grunt
Loyalty all up in my blood just like Forrest Gump
Never been an effing chump, bout my biz and get the funds
Sending off so many fronts, get the flow for many months
Invested in a few I can see what’s in the future
Depending what I do, make the moves for all my juniors
Despite what they say the ears can hear a rumor
It stays like a tumor, it’s your loss cause I’m a mover
Maneuver through the nonsense, karate choppin problems
Really got some knowledge, did my dirt, paid my homage
Knocking out the city wattage, it is known there is one option
Yellow taping where I’m walking all the cars will get the honking
What you know about these west coast skills
Unimaginable but the quotables will send chills
Flex these muscles, scramble pieces to the puzzle
I'm known to move in silence cause my energy’s too valuable
And I-I remember when we rolled one
And I-I remember dodging close ones
But I tried and never thought of folding
Keep it west coastin', get it till we golden
I-I remember when we rolled one
And I-I remember dodging close ones
But I tried and never thought of folding
Keep it west coastin', get it till we golden
And I-I remember when we rolled one
And I-I remember dodging close ones
But I tried and never thought of folding
Keep it west coastin', get it till we golden
I-I remember when we rolled one
And I-I remember dodging close ones
But I tried and never thought of folding
Keep it west coastin', get it till we golden
