Soundcheck

[Verse 1: billy woods]

I will not be at soundcheck

I will not be in the green room if it's too lit

Could be at the local greasy spoon or Szechuan establishment

Courtyard by Marriott bathroom, blowing marijuana through the vents

Shower on, weed sauna

I will not be at soundcheck, but I might check in to keep 'em honest

I reserve the right (I might)

Is it rap beef or is it on sight?

Talking out they teeth, don't even know what I look like

I think I'ma be aight

I'ma do the damn thing tonight

But, please be advised, I will not be at soundcheck, not on your life

Just cut the mic on and kill the lights

Nikon flash, my face is the mask

Develop the photograph but somеthing just wasn't quite (That's weird, can't see it)

I will not be at soundchеck

Might watch the sunset over your city from a parapet or a park bench

Headlamps splash squatter tents on my way to the venue, they wave me in

I'm from when bottles got smashed over ya head in the spot, I'm tense

I'm smiling like I'm not, I'm surfing through the set

After curtains, I sit for a while before I go get the check

[Chorus: billy woods]

Every victory pyrrhic, every, every live show forget the lyric

Every victory pyrrhic, every live show forget the lyric

Every victory pyrrhic, every, every live show forget the lyric

Every victory pyrrhic, every, every, every, every, every live show we forget the lyric

[Verse 2: Quelle Chris]

I will not be at soundcheck, buddy I'm hemping

Me and the crew in this five-seater we renting

Make sure the mic's right like Phil Jackson in '96

Show up for doors, grab a couple Coors, then might dip

I know a couple plugs in this town I get right with

Go shopping when the plane land, I might catch tonight's fit

See every time I rhyme, it's something timeless and priceless

Shit, for soundcheck, the engineer should cop a full price ticket

My DJ scratch the records like lice in it

We seasoned vets, I'm in the telly, sock with hot rice in it

Lauryn Hill, fuck your curfew, come and chill

Jay Elec, talk a whole set and kill it still

This a meal ticket, stop tripping like you paying mills

And if I do check it, just know you're witnessing the real

Then after my set, you might as well go 'head shut it down

'Cause ain't nobody else gon' burn it down like I burn it down

You know

You already know, they already know

[Chorus: billy woods]

Every victory pyrrhic, every live show forget the lyric

Every victory pyrrhic, every, every live show forget the lyric

Every victory pyrrhic, every, every, every, every, every live show we forget the lyric
