Franchise by Nephew P Lyrics
Pay homage
No seriously, pay homage
[Verse 1]
I'm talkin' '95 when ya boy arrived
Jordan in his prime, wore the 45, placed inside my mind
I always knew that I could be a franchise
Not the one who cop the rides but the one who speaks his mind
And get others to feel the way he feel inside
Wit the flick of the wrist and a mind full of clever lines
I jot 'em on the lines and I come wit' doper lines
And I press rewind 'cause the instrumental gimme vibes
I'm sorry if I pressed decline but ya boy alive
Like he Frankenstein, going nuts inside a session every time
Grind hard 9 to 5, 5 to 9
Never rush a thing, mama always told me take my time
No matter the forecast a nigga gon' shine
Fall back from this that, I'm peeping all the signs
Even as a kid wit' my eyes to the sky
And my back against the wind and I had the number 9s
I always knew that I could be a franchise
Always knew that I could be a franchise
Always knew that I could be a franchise
Always knew that I could be a franchise
[Verse 2]
Not the one who cop the rides, shordie on the side
But the one who speaks his mind, here to help you guide
Through this episode of life as we ride the tide
Choppa go rat-a-tat, another black die
Another mother cry
Another funeral to slide to, my eyes wide
To the shit that's going on, pray I don't end up losing mine to life of crime
Get caught at the wrong place, the wrong time
The shit my mama stress about when I'm out and bout
Hanging out wit' a few friends or clocking out
My pockets had a drought but this job help me out
Just for now til the days I'm on top and cashing out
Do I wanna be the one who cop the rides
Wit' the shordie on the side? Man all that sound fine
I don't wanna lose myself
Over something that's upscale, don't help me build wealth
Or help me wit' health, my cells, they need help
And often times in this life of mine I need help
Wit' that being said, back when I was five
Wit' my head in the sky, way before I wrote a rhyme
I always knew that I could be a franchise
Always knew that I could be a franchise
Always knew that I could be a franchise
Always knew that I could be a franchise
No seriously, pay homage
