[Intro: Polito]
Yo
Cute shit only
[Verse 1: Bleu Santana]
Okay (Aye, Aye)
Check one two (yeah)
Vividly remember all the smoke in a heat wave
Vividly remember going through it on a weekday (uh)
I take my chances
I shoot em’ all down
Ain’t no bitch that can take what I found (one two)
Throwin’ it in like a quarterback
I’m a mortal man to a border rat
And I take the place where your soul was at
Deep down in a cul-de-sac
No man, no man alive, Bleu is online
Too soft for the shit talking
Doin’ all of that wrist-rocking
It’s tick-tocking your time down
Don’t tell me that I should calm down
You rowdy and I’m rowdy too
Too much noise to be out of tune
We take the moon like it’s Claire de Lune
So we going out like a super nova
[Chrous: Polito]
Soy el paletero tengo hielo pa’el mal (huh)
Chamoy con el mango tengo todo
¿qué tal?
Soy el paletero tengo hielo pa’el mal (huh)
Chamoy con el mango tengo todo
¿qué tal?
Qué tal estar sin tus ojos como el mar
Tan caliente y sin amor
Tu helado refresca (Aya)
Aya OH
Aya OH
Aya OH
[Verse 2: Kalid Abdul]
Hay huesos en mi gelatina
Rezando por Serafina
¿Esta agua será chafa?
O ¿Podrá ser de las mas finas?
Deja lo natural por las maquinitas
Y hay que sonreír como Sophia
Robots con cerebros y filosofías
¿Que nos va llevar primero?
¿Las ansías por el dinero?
O ¿Este calor carpintero?
¿Inundados por el hielo?
Sweatshops making hoodies yellow
And this litter got me fed up
Bien feo lo que veo
Y eso que no estoy pedo
¿Qué pedo?
[Chorus: Polito]
Uh
¿Qué pedo?
¿Qué pedo? (Ay guey)
¿Qué pedo?
Soy el paletero tengo hielo pa’el mal (Ay ya yay)
Chamoy con el mango tengo todo
¿qué tal? (Ay yay ya)
¿Qué tal?
¿Qué tal?
[Outro: Bleu Santana]
Yo soy el paletero
Yo soy
Yo soy
Yo soy el paletero
Yo soy
Yo soy
Yo soy el paletero
Yo soy
Yo soy
Yo soy el paletero
Yo soy
Yo soy
¡Ya guey por favor!

[Chorus: Bleu Santana]
Two, one, four, lemme dial your number
Day by day I've been stuck in a slumber
Eyes on you, never turn to another
Eyes on you, never turn to another
Two, one, four, lemme dial your number
Day by day I've been stuck in a slumber
Eyes on you, never turn to another
Eyes on you, never turn to another
[Verse 1: Bleu Santana]
Roses on your doorstep I hope you enjoy them
This love's not enough so I hope you enjoy him
Of course, it's my fault
You call it like you see it
But baby, there ain't time, there ain't time to see the scenic now
You can come back down south
See it on your way back, figure things out
Of course, I'm speaking in the past tense
Back then I never said it cus I had sense
[Verse 2: Kalid Abdul]
That shit was tough
I'm always out of luck
Always had a mind that was only focused on love
Tried to make amends but that call wasn't enough
It may have been shit but I'm lucky for our love
It got to form me
Like a picket tool
Hoping that I make it through
Clinging to the memories
I was the one that's right for you
My bed gets cold
I'm on my low
This ain't the best bowl but it'll get me to my goal
But I'm glad we split cus I have something to spit
It'll leave some stitches
But in XP I'm rich
Friend are helping me out, turning my life around
Taking a different route
'Cause I'm hoping to be the person I'm excited about
[Chorus: Bleu Santana]
Two, one, four, lemme dial your number
Day by day I've been stuck in a slumber
Eyes on you, never turn to another
Eyes on you, never turn to another
Two, one, four, lemme dial your number
Day by day I've been stuck in a slumber
Eyes on you, never turn to another
Eyes on you, never turn to another
[Verse 3: Polito]
A bloody rose fell from my stainted hand
Product of a picker too eager for the endgame
I guess I don't have a green thumb
Cursing at my palms
Tracing on the three lines
Asking why the M don't form
Serpents serve you apples
And naturally, I followed
Buddy up there shamed us
And split us from each other
Been cursed by my own God
They said I hit the lotto
Woah there, that's my rib you're holding take care 'till I find ya
Once again, it's a shame, most people play the wrong game
Dirty your name with the spectacles of other's pain
Makes you sound insane, complain about the same
Every day in and out
You call it sorting things out
But only bullshit leaves your mouth
Red flags stick out like there's electric wires under me
But I've been blinded see
Illusions in this magic mirror got me seeing an oasis in your eyes
Perhaps together we can fly
Flew close to the sun on purpose
Is there a better way to die?
[Outro: Bleu Santana & *Polito*]
Two, one, four
Just gimme a call (gimme a call)
*Two, One, Four, call my phone up*
*Been too long, the silence thought we was grown-ups*
*Still catch eyes when I stride the corner*
*Still catch nights when I'm stuck with boredom*
Two, one, four
*Two, one, four, call my phone up*

[Verse 1: Polito]
Mi flor es hermosa (¡AsÍ!)
Nos vamos al sol
Que quiero control
Al rato latosa
Lo que dije (Tra tra)
Lo que dije (Tra tra)
Lo que dije (Tra tra)
[Verse 2: Kalid Abdul]
Yo el que no pudo
He estado sentado en mi coche la última hora (boludo)
He estado pensando anoche (incluso)
Nunca poder visto mi tierra hermosa
¿A caso subí de peso? Pos si wey
Nunca he podido ganarle (glotón)
Tratando de tener un cierre (botón)
Piso nuevas tierras
Vida derramada
Verano en la alberca
Violencia un pie de las huertas
[Chorus: Bleu Santana]
I got
What I need
I got
What I need
I need to be closer to glory
I feel like this envy has known me
But I could not change it myself
No, No
I could not change it myself
[Verse 3: Polito]
See it's pineapples and it's peaches
But ain't no fruit as sweet as she is
I see saltwater white sand beaches
Every weekend, wherever we is
Yea I might find some thoughts unheard
Lay 'em on the mic like a pop filter
I'm a Rennaisance man, I'm a Florence boy
High from the stage, wildly scream my noise like
[Bridge: Bleu Santana]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oooooh ooh
[Chorus: Bleu Santana]
I got
What I need
I got
What I need
I need to be closer to glory
I feel like this envy has known me
But I could not change it myself
No, No
I could not change it myself

[Chorus: Bleu Santana]
Do I know you, tell me if I want you
If I want you tell me if I need you
They say, they say, they say
They say, they say, they say
Do I know you, tell me if I want you
If I want you tell me if I need you
They say, they say, they say
They say, they say, they say
[Verse 1: Polito]
In the kitchen handlin' the dough
Putting my hands on the stove
Whippin my wrist, a contortionist
Cirque du Soleil next Friday (huh)
Met a masseuse, her name was Medusa
Asked me to do her, happy to do so
Had a lil problem, I ain't read up on that nerdy shit
I was a nice piece in her garden
From just a cook to a work of art
Ex-girl said this curse was fitting, 'cause the same shit makes up my heart
Bored and lonely way from the start
Out the womb and I prayed to God
Preyed on lamb, yo I'm scared to scarve
Now I'm stone, not even marble carved
[Verse 2: Bleu Santana]
Reminisce on you, my god
Tick-tock all things resolved
Down the block with no end involved
Past the pavement I slammed into
Quicksand on my landscape
I sunk before, I ain't trapped no more
I grew these wings just to fly away but I end up just another night away
Cus I'm homesick
Grew up just to be a poet
Dividing us with no quotient
Comatose, overdose, hella broke, hella low, I sat alone again
Nothing to repent
Until we meet again
Till we meet again
[Chorus: Bleu Santana]
Do I know you, tell me If I want you
If I want you tell me if I need you
They say, they say, they say
They say, they say, they say
Do I know you, tell me if I want you
If I want you tell me if I need you
They say, they say, they say
They say, they say, they say
[Verse 3: Kalid Abdul]
(Aye, aye)
Nunca he podido sentir así
Más rapido que un colibrí
Siempre amanece, nunca anochece
Y siempre estaremos a un lado tí
No tenga miedo mi gran soldado
No se te olvide que estamos aquí
Somos el arma que esta a tu lado
Siempre estaremos contando en tí

[Verse 1: Polito]
Rivers run to oceans like how it’s supposed to be
Empty are my pockets, not where I wanna be
Handstand for fifty cents on the corner of the street
Saving every penny, I’m a mogul to be
Follow Benji’s advice a penny saved a penny earned
Saved a hundred thousand pennies that’s ten Benji’s earned
Ahead of the class you lose it all and that’s a lesson learned
Lost in Vegas I got an itch and my pockets burned
Boy, where’s the profit?
Lobbied office, drenched in malice
Hope to God I find a dollar ‘neath this mattress
Synthesize my madness, thinking ‘bout some caption
Staining psyche blanket, black hole steeps some hatred
Thinking that the internet would save me
[Bridge: Polito]
Stopped at a red light
Oh this old red light
My parents used a floppy disk so their advice ain’t good enough
Stopped at a red light
Stopped at a red light
I'm stopped at a red light
Stopped at a red light
Oh this old red light
My parents used a floppy disk so their advice ain’t good enough
[Verse 2: Bleu Santana]
If I'm not an entertainer
I would end up as a failure
All the jewelry was hanging by the time I got my major
Forty-five hundred acres on my plot of land
(Bury me)
Pray the only time you shed a tear is when you marry me
Our love has been around a lot longer than the centipedes
Just enough time for me and you to build a tendency
[Verse 3: Kalid Abdul]
This is my home
I have no title to be known by
I have no place to lay to rest
For if I ever died alone
I have no money for my folks
I have no stories for the books
It’s like an extended stay
With no space for me to look close
These are my people
They got my back
One day I’ll be equal
Yell at me to go back
Again
Standing over my shoulder
They tell me this is not my home

[Chorus: Polito]
Yeah, I don't use mics for the fame you motherfuckers
That's my journal on the track
And my eyes just watch the numbers
Give a shout out to my brother, cousin, mister on the corner
Split the bread up with my momma's children
They still at the border
(HA HA HA HA HA)
They still at the border
Split the bread up with my momma's children
They still at the border
(HA HA HA HA HA)
They still at the border
Split the bread up with my momma's children
They still at the border
(HA HA HA HA HA)
[Verse 1: Bleu Santana]
They still at the border
Turn a dollar to a nickel then it's back into a quarter
Cus my valuables diminish and the money's getting shorter
Old money looking so new now
Getaway vacation, blow it on a luau
Living off inheritance
They can have my severance
Rising off the tenement
No time to see the sunshine
Took away my patio, hustle in my bloodline
Still six, seven different figures left
Please don't waste my time
I wear it down quick, too quick to even notice
Why you tryna be a man in this gentleman's attire
Too insecure to be the outlier
[Chorus: Polito]
Yeah, I don't use mics for the fame you motherfuckers
That's my journal on the track
And my eyes just watch the numbers
Give a shout out to my brother, cousin, mister on the corner
Split the bread up with my momma's children
They still at the border
(HA HA HA HA HA)
They still at the border
Split the bread up with my momma's children
They still at the border
(HA HA HA HA HA)
They still at the border
Split the bread up with my momma's children
They still at the border
(HA HA HA HA HA)
[Verse 2: Kalid Abdul]
Who are all these people who take me out of my element
Who are all these people who take me out of my element
Who are all these people who take me out of my element
Who are all these people who are who are tweaking with the other men
Yo era ese tipo de ayer
Fucking with that other man (?)
Don’t wanna pick my brother up
Don’t wanna be my fathers son
Don’t wanna be the out of luck
Don’t wanna lose my otter box
What a plot it gone be
Till this day you gone see
What my crew can be
Sipping on my tea
Fucked over by these
(HUH)

[Intro: Kalid Abdul]
Came from the almost there
Came from the almost there
[Verse 1: Kalid Abdul]
No he sentido así desde que supe que salí de mi país
Hagas lo que hagas nunca olvido mi raíz
Siento lo que siento en el pecho
Las balas duelen no les miento
Pero sigo aquí
No me muevo a pesar del viento
¿Nos agreden y esperan que nos quedemos quietos?
Pies al fuego, no me dejo
Por la gente que me apoya
Esta es nuestra tierra
Que lo sepan boca en boca
[Chorus: A-Wall]
Ridin' on the greyhound
Got these bullets in my chest
They're trying to weigh me down
Got this target on my back, which way you aiming now
They're tryna lock me in the cage but now I'm breaking out
Yeah I'm breaking out
Ridin' on the greyhound
Got these bullets in my chest
They're trying to weigh me down
Got this target on my back, which way you aiming now
They're tryna lock me in the cage but now I'm breaking out
Yeah I'm breaking out
(Woah)
[Verse 2: Polito]
Roses, orchids, new-made orphans, daisies, daffodils
Lone elbows on windowsills
Dr-drop drop it in silt
All black like this evil that we meeting in the night
Pin drop, silence like I slapped yo momma over nice
Saw bullets on the news eating curry over rice
Oh Mashallah, Oh Hallelujah, calling out to every God
And that’s on God, unruly God
This God-like divine affront
Seen flowers ‘bout every month
Their petals dry in the sun
[Verse 3: Bleu Santana]
Since a young age I was wanting more things (let's go)
Used to have a big heart now it's such a cold thing
Icy icy water through these flowing veins
I think my spirit manifested in these broken chains
Now I keep them as reminders
We well-equipped to fight the fire with fire
I got a new weapon
This one don't inquire
Just fires at all the higher-ups
We take the throne and watch 'em pile up
Shit, what a beautiful sight
[Chorus: A-Wall]
Ridin' on the greyhound
Got these bullets in my chest
They're trying to weigh me down
Got this target on my back, which way you aiming now
They're tryna lock me in the cage but now I'm breaking out
Yeah I'm breaking out
Ridin' on the greyhound
Got these bullets in my chest
They're trying to weigh me down
Got this target on my back, which way you aiming now
They're tryna lock me in the cage but now I'm breaking out
Yeah I'm breaking out
(Woah)

[Verse 1: Bleu Santana]
It’s the king with no name
Crown made of thorns when I’m playing the slow game
Resurrect now, blow the ash like Coltrane
(Hands on the wheel but I never touched the pedal)
Been around a long time never seen the dust settle
Within myself I’m just a mind in a kettle
Cooking up a fever when the germ hit the temple
[Verse 2: Kalid Abdul]
Gentleman in jacket was stuck in the hot pursuit
Just another Sunday with just a scratch in his suit
Shots were heard around the valley circa the hill on sunny view
Breaking high speeds in his BMW 2002
T-i-i (say bye bye)
To the light and you (cry cry)
To the public (Oh my my)
All the shit we could die by
Hypocrites on the drive-by
Salute dead as they pass by
So let this Jack handle the bad guys
Alright my?
[Chorus: Bleu Santana & Aisha Qamar]
I take a glimpse every time
I see myself go down, down, down, down, down
I’ve been around, I’ve been around
I take a glimpse every time (every time)
I see myself go down, down, down, down, down
I’ve been around, I’ve been around
Been Around
[Verse 3: Polito]
I got a membership at the local country club
Did it for the networking, these people own the shit ‘round me (huh)
I hope these white folk fund me with a couple bucks
Chose a chair next to a couple dudes named Chuck
Fuck, filled my cup up a lil bit too much
I’m dining in a carousel approaching these boys
Spilled the punch like a murder scene
He ain’t like me being close to him
Lookin' like I stabbed him with a knife, I might
Took flight, not a proper place for me besides
Why I gotta pander to a side that’s not mine?
So I
[Bridge: Polito]
Choose another route, another way (Aye)
Time to think about resharpening the blade (Sharpening the blade)
Another route, another way (Aye)
Learn to program the game (Program the game)
Another route, another way (Aye)
Time to think about resharpening the blade (Sharpening the blade)
[Chorus: Bleu Santana & Aisha Qamar]
I take a glimpse every time
I see myself go down, down, down, down, down
I’ve been around, I’ve been around
I take a glimpse every time (Every time)
I see myself go down, down, down, down, down
I’ve been around, I’ve been around
I've been around

[Chorus: Polito]
Lost at sea like the Life of Pi and I been pourin’ up
Demons in the same boat, RIP me
Go ‘head pour one out
Every party feel like my last moment, thanks for coming out
Every party feel like my last moment, call the coroner
[Verse 1: Polito]
I don’t give a fuck bitch I look clean when I’m rolling out
Pull up in my fit, me and my machines looking glorious
Living my life seeing only beams and the soda gun
Felt like some reality TV, quite Kardashian
Too fast for the fast life, died in a past life
Prayed for my soul to remain
B.C truly stoned, sippin’ off the waves
Passed my own grave, felt in front of my face
It’s too shay devil’s always the same
Satan’s always to blame
Red velvet enlaced, my body bled for me to save it
It’s up to me today
[Chorus: Polito]
Lost at sea like the Life of Pi and I been pourin’ up
Demons in the same boat, RIP me
Go ‘head pour one out
Every party feel like my last moment, thanks for coming out
Every party feel like my last moment, call the coroner
[Verse 2: Kalid Abdul]
Never look back, we're under attack
The strength that I lack came to play in the past
My battery packed
I'm 100% again
I want to beat my sin (sen)
Say (sei) what you mean
I'm just here for a couple days
Boat will part in the cuff of day
Leave no trace
Won't forget the gaze you gave upon your
Sayonara
My choice is power
Still Okinawa
No coward farmer
We're planting flowers
That shine will power
My mouth is sour from the fire power
First hour of your last day
Been reduced to an ash tray
Pray for us on your gap (god) day
But we gone now
On my scowl, chao
We're always around, It's always too late
Forget what I gave, dance from the grave
Imma be gone, Imma die twice
Was a good run
This my last life
No piece of the pie
It's always a good-bye
Plead to you on my knees
I might never be at peace
[Chorus: Polito]
Lost at sea like the Life of Pi and I been pourin’ up
Demons in the same boat, RIP me
Go ‘head pour one out
Every party feel like my last moment, thanks for coming out
Every party feel like my last moment, call the coroner
[Chorus: Bleu Santana]
Lost at sea like the Life of Pi and I been pourin’ up
Demons in the same boat, RIP me
Go ‘head pour one out
Every party feel like my last moment, thanks for coming out
Every party feel like my last moment, call the coroner
[Verse 3: Bleu Santana]
(Wooh, wooh, wooh)
Happy birthday
Bitch it’s a party
I ain’t tryna leave tonight without a body
Smoking in the backyard
Fumes exhaled
Give a fuck if the neighbors can smell it
I’m just gonna act like a menace
Cus I’ve been sinking in crevices for the longest of days
But I mean I’m stuck in my ways
Never gonna recover or change
(Go and pour it up)
Bad little thing wanna slow dance
Demons in disguise in the dead sea
Searching for the remedy
Killing off my enemies
I swear I had some empathy before they started telling me to change
These bitches set the bar low
But I don’t follow
So pour it up I’m hoping to see tomorrow
[Chorus: Polito]
Lost at sea like the Life of Pi and I been pourin’ up
Demons in the same boat, RIP me
Go ‘head pour one out
Every party feel like my last moment, thanks for coming out
Every party feel like my last moment, call the coroner
