The Flyest You Know

from Mystery Album​?​?​? by Sankofa

/

lyrics

check me out, library of five vocabulary
with merchandise that varies, the purchase price to carry
sometimes take an L, when that investment won't return
but passion overcomes my logic when the boomerang it burns
through the slang and terms, I support others doing dope
it takes guts that I don't have and I recognize the load
best to find a trove of people following their dreams
DIY between the rest of it, acknowledging the schemes
money once set aside for shoes finds a new home
already got too many, so just pick the flyest you know
I got another pair just as dope that I never rock
The custom Airmax 90s with the quilted denim swatch
Spin the roulette wheel for a new york minute then it stops
Designated toothbrush keeping the shoes fresh, no need for dental floss
Nike back in the days of iDs and two pairs of laces
Wrapping up the flavor in that special printed paper
Biding time until the dope material drops then I swooped in
Animal print, call me Noah, examine the tints, it’s all we know of
The LeBron soldiers after he won the chip in Cleveland
Disbelief is how in the world reacts when seeing the pairs of Stephen


Next year, copped the black cork Air Forces with the gold flecks
But let’s take it back to that block on Iguodala, oh yes
Couldn’t believe, watched the replay, various angles even
No goaltend, and it was clean too, on every on review
Not saying the goat, just saying he’s dope You need proof
Like we need to argue over greatness instead of admire it
Wish I could time machine Grant Hill a better podiatrist
Need to take critic energy, redirect apply a bit
And I admit I find myself an ingredient in toxic waste
So I delete the hottest take tweet, and simply walk away
The thoughts of prey, no need to hunt so humble’s where I stay
And balance is found when I feel the rarest way
I’m speaking joyfulness, being present with my sons
Instead of hurrying them up and make another run
They do their thing, I’m parallel, I’m doing mine
Pause the raps for a moment and just listen to them shine
