Rich Rhetoric

[Verse 1] I ain't tie a lace on my sneakers since I was ten All the inspiration I needed was by the bench Eighteen look like thirty to fifth graders And smell like Dior Fahrenheit and Phillie paper Know the vibe now, from how I was catching it then Like when it dies down, you go out and stretch 'em again Paint pickany, whether by example or literately Literally here to hand to hand you epiphanies Literally, same corner loops we was raised on Flip A to Z and cruise, word to a Faison All love, or whichever part that the phase on Hundred thousandaires in the coupe to set the stage for Scene set, play your role and bet your scene stretch Carry the loop forever like it was Keith Sweat Bet it last, forever or what you make it do But know the rhetoric is irreplaceable [Chorus] They said to keep it richer, said to keep it richer Sing it 'til the morning, lullabies and liquor Sing it 'til the morning, swear that we got the picture And treated it like if God sent word to the curb They told us to keep it richer, said to keep it richer Sing it 'til the morning, lullabies and liquor Sing it 'til the morning, swear that we got the picture And treated it like if God sent word to the curb They told us to keep it richer [Verse 2] Rich talk from a broke adolescent with bigger eyes But turned richer from how he listened when sitting by Like this shit is whatever if ever you hit a stride Saw them decorate a parade and then they died Corner like a campus, talk turn rampant Bottom of my fitted gray like misunderstandings Young city bandit, lugging it single handedly Where they're arms deep in the Os like Vinsanity So simple, can it be Aura of it all draped over like canopies Guard us from the dormant, part it like a chorus Never forget what sticks Like how the city was better when Melo was still a Knick Peace, God, word to the 7 threaded on my Compound Sometimes it gotta get blatant for shit calm down Words from the wise whether they're here or not still And all the rubber bands I rock still [Chorus] They said to keep it richer, they said to keep it richer Sing it 'til the morning, lullabies and liquor Sing it 'til the morning, swear that we got the picture And treated it like if God sent word to the curb They told us to keep it richer, said to keep it richer Sing it 'til the morning, lullabies and liquor Sing it 'til the morning, swear that we got the picture And treated it like if God sent word to the curb They told us to keep it richer [Verse 3] That's all that they spoke for And hoping you heard 'em right is all that you hope for A few get roped in and a few get roped off And know where you keep it at, vision like O-Dog, 'cause yo, pa My man caught a bad one, son, lawyers was fighting He bidded, came home and called me while I was writing Reunited like the best song on the second Wu shit Followed by the cream part two shit, the truth is Cash is part of how we knew shit Like how much these cost and how much the coupe fit And most of the time they only threw that talk once And lucky for us we always knew us how to loop shit They said to keep it richer [Interlude] May I help you? I want some flowers The whole thing? The whole thing It's very expensive I know, I'll pay
