Phonte - Tigallo For Dolo lyrics

[Hook 1] By myself H.O.J., even when I'm by myself Little Brother, even when I'm by myself Foreign Exchange, even when I'm by myself Zo! & Tigallo, even when I'm by myself Justus League, even when I'm by myself [Phonte] Phontigallo for dolo Smile for the camera, n***a, pose for the photo Pause for the promo Cause failure's a no-no Back on my fly sh** So green with envy, kiss me, I'm Irish n***as be asking me "Who we got to ride with? " They saying "Come back Tay, we been cravin'" We need LB to come and save the rap game But, truthfully I don't think the sh** needs savin' I think we got wives and sons that need raisin' New dreams to fill and for that, we need patience Twenty-one years old, I used to slang verses But ten years later, I am not the same person Whole new perspective, not the same purpose And sometimes I have to question if I even want it Not mad at the game cause it is what it is And not mad at the radio cause I don't know what's on it Be in my own universes when I be doing verses Burn 'em down like the Klan used to do to churches Back in the day in my town, n***a Don't come around if you a clown n***a, then go and do the circus First, do the knowledge, then do the purchase Understand why, against me, a coup is worthless Battle Tay?
