[Intro]
Check one-two, check one-two
Come on
Check one-two, check one-two
[Verse 1: Jill Scott & Tierra Whack]
It's a Thursday and I left my blues in the back
Of the second drawer in my nightstand, uh
I'm too busy giving sounds, paprika your taste
My-my, oh my Jah, I'm so high listening to Preemo Vision
I add a whole woman of grace
In every color, every spectral prism
Yeah, go 'head and say that twice
Every bar that I spit is from living in light
She nice
You think I don't see it?
My glow shines from the solar plex of my being
Uh, she sweet and she tough
I could give you my all, but is it ever enough?
They stay chattin' 'bout my body on IG
Say I'm a mean bitch, I'm in thе Illuminati
But ain't nowhere near round hеre
When I write these songs, when I light my spliff
When I raise my son, atone from my sins
When I stack my papes, when I deal with these men
None of them could ever be me
J-I-L-L S-C-O-T-T in the place to be (Yeah)
Norf Philly, baby
[Verse 2: Tierra Whack & Jill Scott]
It's a Thursday and I left my blues
In the backseat of an Uber
Hollywood or Hallelujah (North Philly, baby)
I been seeing right through ya (Norf Philly, baby)
These bars are nasty, when I'm spittin' them out
And once I tell you my price, won't take no different amount
(Norf Philly, baby)
Okay, I think I finally figured it out
I am the greatest, always and the latest
Like Lauryn, so, pardon my arson (bars)
I don't bargain with peasants, pleasant surprise
Rappin' better than you guys
Despise me? You should let me be your guide
I'm high, loaded like potatoes
So poppy like mayo, want a hoagie
You imposter, rigatoni
The top is lonely, but I never feel alone
After all this time, they done made so many clones
The Almighty, I'm winning 'cause God likes me
Most likely, surviving with the sheisty
Turn me to a maximum, white men, I'm stackin' 'em
Living like it's golden, me and Sheila go platinum
(Ha-ha-ha-ha)
Pray and obey to the W-H-E-K, I'm here to stay
Norf Philly all day
[Verse 3: Jill Scott]
Well, it's a consequence for being this dope
I let them tell it, some get after what they want
Some sit jealous and talk shit, ain't got a pot to piss
They be pissed they ain't loved like this (True)
And that's so true, Philly Jilly is lethal
The organizers they be tryna to be a Queen into
I can't be rich and cool? I can't be fly and smooth?
I cut with the syllables, linguistically edible
Get real to intelligent freaks, I wax poetical, inevitable
I transform into me
Jill Scott, Grand Dame Queen Beast
North Philly, baby
[Outro: Jill Scott]
I just wanna give a shout out to DJ Premier
Yo, I love you, baby
Thank you, Tierra Whack
Thank you for F-O-Xing with a girl
You know I love you, boo
Philly all day
Each and every way
