Turn Me Up (feat. Kendrick Lamar)
Ab-Soul
[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
Yeah
Come come now
Soul brother number two, I'm the one now
Sun up to sun down
Still kickin' that shit, put your gun down
I come in peace like uh, extraterrestrial be in need of me a meteor and walk across the moon barefeet
Uh
But don't nobody rhyme like this no more (nah)
Call me the 2010 Rakim
I got soul, there's more in store
Feel like the CVS, open 24 (yeah)
Spent nights tryin to overshadow my shadow for niggas tryin' to block my light, like a solar eclipse
I bring a knife to a fist fight and when I cut a record (uh)
So when I cut the cheese you should know what it is
Mr. Absoulute the most incredible at this
So adjust your bass, your treble and then...
[Hook]
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Turn me up some, turn me up some
(repeat x 2)
[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]
Yo
I'm finna break this blunt down and burn me up one
Then sip on this Remy til they turn me up some
For me it's more difficult to be simple than it is to be complex....than a lot of apartments
You niggas comedy, I'm laughing at you probably
We are not the same, there's no strand of monotony
Between you and I until we die (yeah)
Revelations say you either fry or fly
And it's hard to find God when you ain't never seen Him
It's pie in the sky and there's bodies on the cement
And I know you lookin at me like you don't speak English
I bring the heat like a phoenix, a son under da Phoenix sun
And I'm rootin for the Lakers when they play the Phoenix Suns
I ain't really into sports, that's just where I'm from
Long Term Two
And if it's in your possession then follow the directions my dude
[Hook]
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Turn me up some, turn me up some
(repeat x 2)
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Uh
Come come now
Pac told me fuck the world, I'm bout to cum now
I've been a pro, but now I'm profound
Propane on posers, restraining from the dosier
Imagine if I smoke, I probably come up with a quote, so heavy you'll forget every album you heard from Hova
Or 2pacalypse I'm Hub City's novelist
Come and get your scholarship, I'm taking kids to school
A pool full the spit, dive in, I'm bout to drool
You'll drown tryin ta backstroke on concepts that I wrote
I was a black sheep, but now I'm just a goat
And I'm about to elope, married to the game yo
This is hip hop at it's finest, when you find this in a Ziploc
Til the wheels fall off, fuck a pit-stop
Or what not, where my tear drop, I murdered it
My pot-holes is turbulence
I'm in the sky wit it
When you listening to Kendrick.....just...
[Hook]
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Turn me up some, turn me up some
(repeat x 2)
[Verse 4: Ab-Soul]
This for my niggas that really rap hard
Night, no sleep, do it with your eyes closed, I can see your vision from Del-Amo
Poppa took the television, but left the radio
Ill niggas; wack niggas what's the ratio
Is the shit degrading or inspirational
I'll have you know I must of wrote about a thousand rhymes, a thousand times
I give you my word....
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]
Well I just gotta be heard... (repeat x4)
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Yo, turn me up some
Turn me up some, turn me up some
(repeat x 3, fade out)
