Tobe Nwigwe - DAY ONES Lyrics
[Tobe:]
Yeah
Ouuuu
I'm from the weeeeest
Igbo kwenu hey
Naija boy they love how I accentuate
Most my partners trynna ball like the NBA
So they out here moving products like it's Mary Kay
I don't knock 'em I just know the game
They ain't slaves, they just really love the whips and chains
The more things change, the more things stay the same
When I flow every corner see fire like I'm Kane
So I spit fire, no extinguisher
Might just teach Fat some Igbo to make her a bilingual
Outcho britches when yo' finger itches cause you ain't too keen to wool
Being pulled over got you pressed like a license plate
You a goofy if Lucy could press yo' buyttons and getcha heated like microwaves, (ouu)
You, might just need to meditate
Get yo' mind out that vegetative state
It's time to elevate
[Tobe & Taylor Janney:]
Cause I came straight from out the slums
So I need a check like them Jordan 1S
I swear this for all of my day ones
Out here making bread but they came from crumbs
[Tobe:]
Look
Flow hotter than pepper spray
Spit it for my kinky hair kinsmen that have been led astray
More than bullets from those who pull it in hopes to decimate
All they opps, cause on our blocks we learnt to regulate from
Warren G, It's kinda easy, when ya listen to that G'D up sound I had it on repeat, (ouu)
Then I got it out the mud
Walked straight out the puddle
Where I'm from you yapping they start clapping like it's time to break the huddle
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Ready break
I remember eating free lunch with them heavy trays
Most my homeboys blew heavy haze after seventh grade
And most my homegirls had oval edges with heavy lace
[Tobe, Nell and Taylor:]
It's time to elevate
If they hatin' baby let 'em hate, (yea)
You can see me shinin' in the shade, (yea)
We done came up on some better days
It's time to elevate
If they hatin' baby let 'em hate, (yea)
You can see me shinin' in the shade, (yea)
We done came up on some better days
Cause I came straight from out the slums
So I need a check like them Jordan 1S
I swear this for all of my day ones
Out here making bread but they came from crumbs
[Taylor Janney:]
'Cus I came straight from out the slums, (It's time to elevate)
So I need a check like them Jordan 1S
I swear this for my day ones, (If they hatin' baby let 'em hate)
Out here making bread but they came from crumbs

Stuff like this is why I fell in love with hip hop to begin with. It’s about uplifting the culture. Telling your story to connect with people that can relate to it or to open the eyes of those that can’t. I love music so much. Powerful

Destine for greatness
This is too close to “I’m the one”
Is this guy kinda like Khalid who grew up at the other end of the state in El Paso? Is his upbringing in Houston influencing the Southern Rap tunes feel of Big Boi? Am I experiencing something new? Am I 77 in a 22 year old body?
My husband and I are debating about whose idea it was to give her the sign? Please help!

I'm on a Twisted Sundays music tour this morning and noticed 198 haters viewed this video. I guess they missed these lines. "If they hating baby let'em hate. You can see me shining in the shade. We done came up on some better days." You can't come up on your better days if you hate on others.
Yo what the? This is fire 🔥
WOW. Heard him on a commercial and Google them today and going through every song it's getting better and better.... WOW YOU'RE BLESSED..
Man this reminds me goodiMob. Love it
