Nitty Scott - Concrete Roses lyrics
[Verse 1] Yeah, The Boombox Diaries Yo, I inspire to inspire Rebel with the treble cutting through the barbed wire with a fiery desire They say the running out of dope, need a new supplier Till' I came on, yo is this thing on? I gotta tell the people what it took to make this EP How many labels tried to cheat me for a cheap fee Trying to make it intimate while they just talking increments Impotent but f** it I guess I got good predicaments I ain't a rapper, just a wordy abolitionist Here to free the streets and ain't no pimpin' on my instrument One for the money, and two for the show Three for the record everybody here we go! Yeah! Cause' I'm the last boombox Holla "peace! peace!" when you see me on the block (Boombox!) I know you like that knock, Nitty Scott will keep it hot until the clock don't top (Yeah!) See we be like a breath of something fresh, generated generation power we possess Rich is getting richer givin' less to the oppressed But I'm destined for the best in the name of progress I tell my story for the ones who forgot you; single mothers, fallen brothers, hustlers, I got you [Bridge] Too late I'm on for these Marilyn Monroe's Concrete Roses Going where the flows is [Hook] Uh huh, welcome The Boombox Diaries Welcome to The Boombox Diaries Uh huh, welcome The Boombox Diaries Welcome to The Boombox Diaries You are now inside The Boombox Diaries [Verse 2] Man I don't even watch TV Cause nobody on the TV look like me If I charge black cards or an EBT I keep it Hip H-o-p when I MC And ain't it sad, that I would have to sh** in a bag If I was a co-signed white girl with swag? Dag! I've reached my interception Mother of the New School Birth and Resurrection Okay, I blaze trails like a traveler does They want the glow of my aura They want the strength of my buzz And I'm learning that success is like a relative term It brings a lot of relative looking for something to burn, but I live the land of the frozen I am chosen Homegrown flowing in zones they gobble souls in [Bridge] Too late I'm on for these Marilyn Monroe's Concrete Roses Going where the flows is [Hook] Uh huh, welcome The Boombox Diaries Welcome to The Boombox Diaries Uh huh, welcome The Boombox Diaries You are now inside The Boombox Diaries [Outro] Hell yeah! Jewels! We did it homie! Hey I've been waiting to drop this project my whole f**ing life! From Grand Rapids to Florida To Brooklyn and back This is all I've ever wanted to do n***as say they had faith but ain't want to put it on paper We good though, we good Boombox Family! We breathing life into this sh**! It's just the way I was raised Let em' know that we ain't numbers, we are letters Letters that form stories, and speak of our glory Boombox Family, stand up!
