Flavor by Trigue Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve been in training camp to move mountains/
One ounce of bounce, I need a whole pound/
To jump, not come down, aroused, arose round the time we fell down/
Scraped up both our knees, but did not back down/
Said, fighter s were, survivors we are/
I shine, but no star, I find I need more/
Than what I grew with, can’t watch the dew drip/
I’ve no time to sit, one day we’ll reminisce/
Bout each kick and kiss, the things that went wrong/
The things we still miss, nights that became dawn/
On, on and on on, the past it grows fonder/
Lies become smiles, and moments become longer/
Stronger I feel, my bones be like steel/
My fists be like light to slice the dark shield/
My eyes are still black, my hair is still brown/
Reverse those two facts, I flipped ‘em for the sound/
I risk it for the crown, no competition but I/
I bring a challenge like none you could ever provide/
Ride high, sit up, chest out, eyes wide/
Fierce, feel adrenaline, grab the fucking livewire/
Wise guy, flyer than a harrier jet/
Live through the crash like the black box, bet/
Dive through the trash on a gem hunt, sweat/
Find the lost keys, yo that door reads “next”/
Hook
Bright lights, pull over when you see ‘em/
Bright lights, stars we wanna be ‘em/
Hands up/
Here’s the flavor, we need the flavor/
Ask me for the flavor, bring the flavor/
Verse 2
This is nothing in particular, in vehicular terms/
Tire rotation, oil change; tune up/
Stared kicking rhymes when I was twelve or thirteen-ish/
Cut class cause I was fiendish with the page; grew up/
Not quite a screw up, I hid my screw looseness/
Was a calm bomb, but tried to keep it fuse-less/
Never blew shrapnel, moat around the castle/
You couldn’t get close to the boy; statue/
Heart was as hard as stone, but move on/
Today I speak clear, no fear I’ll be wrong/
And the always told me, “yo he speaks so well”/
It’s true, but goddamn don’t sound so surprised/
I’m in AP English, think I can’t fucking spell?/
Skills they be real, recognize/
Before you wreck your whip/
Keep your eyes fixed on the road and the task at hand/
My fingers extend to touch beginnings and ends/
Keep the cycle moving through me to fully complete thoughts/
Cross all the ‘Ts” and “I” dots/
This life is hard, as that first love you lost/
But gorgeous as that first love’s start/
