YES YES - We’ll show em’ who the best is
We’re the freshest In the building
Quick pit stop got us lookin’ tip top
Now we’re feelin’ like a least a million
You can feel like a million dollars
Even with a couple bucks in the bank man
Take a good look in my wallet
There might be a bit of dust and a post stamp
I’m the most progressive my flow’s impressive
Didn’t get the memo? Well get the message
When the moon’s a crescent I’m freshly dressin’
When it’s half of full they can’t match my essence
Women draped in dresses look at men in their suits
They wanna study my style so they examine my shoes
I leave an amateur clues so they can follow the trend
It’s not just me, it’s me plus all of friends
Check the lingo go ahead and flash the signal
The stars are aligned like dabs in BINGO!
Jackpot, laptop, packed with music
Hats off, that’s it, watch me do this
For my amusement my moves are groovin’
I spark the fire then bring the group in
We keep it movin’ just watch the foot work
To check the engine gotta’ pop the hood first
YES YES - We’ll show em’ who the best is
We’re the freshest… In the building
Quick pit stop got us lookin’ tip top
Now we’re feelin’ like a least a million
You can feel like a million dollars
Even with a couple bucks in the bank man
Take a good look in my wallet…
There might be a bit of dust and a post stamp
I’m back with another for one you to hate on
I look good sound good yes but stay calm
My dance moves are like a batch of napalm
Mixed with a six foot stack of radon
Game on I’m comin’ to top the charts
They all wanna do the same but don’t got the heart
Nor the swagger taxi the jet to the hanger
Rap game sharp as Raphael’s daggers
Dragons can't’ breathe fire like this
No wonder everybody and their mother wanna diss
They missed their bus and wanna try to catch mine
But I drive by and ignore the bus signs
What time is it? That time again
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten
Anytime of day, night, or afternoon
Is the perfect time for you blast this tune
YES YES - We’ll show em’ who the best is
We’re the freshest… In the building
Quick pit stop got us lookin’ tip top
Now we’re feelin’ like a least a million
You can feel like a million dollars
Even with a couple bucks in the bank man
Take a good look in my wallet…
There might be a bit of dust and a post stamp
Fresh with a capitol “F” yes you know this
Similar to freshly cut sets of roses
A gentleman holds the door and then closes
Fully composed during camera poses
I focus like I’m spelled bound by potions
I cut though the bush don’t go where the road is
I’m cloaked in some sort of energy form
That you can’t buy or go rent out of a store
Style galore they stare at the way I maneuver
Each day I’m lookin’ for new ways of improvement
Blueprints litter my mind with new concepts
Dark matter, black holes, and starships
Martians probably wanna take my brain
So they can study with great care the raps I slay
All day, all year, I can go for eons
Most will never see the level that I be on
YES YES - We’ll show em’ who the best is
We’re the freshest… In the building
Quick pit stop got us lookin’ tip top
Now we’re feelin’ like a least a million
You can feel like a million dollars
Even with a couple bucks in the bank man
Take a good look in my wallet…
There might be a bit of dust and a post stamp

Industry Snakes

I’m really stressed – really, what a mess this is
my thoughts need a rest, but I’m full of restlessness
jaded from the game, feelin’ like a pessimist
my money’s gone, other rappers sayin’ “check the wrist”
full of diamonds, I’m in not the same sitch
so here I sit with a wicked bone to pick
with these snakes – let me lay it out for you
all you people who think my brain flew the coop
I had a manager take $4000 from me
then cross the pacific into another country
his buddy said he could get me into TV and film
while my music at least until his pockets were filled
but guess what? they got paid and I did not
I guess I’m used to it now – what a sickening thought
young rappers, never give your money away
to music industry snakes who promise you fame
the debt racks so fast, it’s hard to track
I swear my bank account is under steady attack
my other manager said that radio is the way
and every song that you hear was paid to be played
so I put $20,000 into a campaign
but most of my spins were late-night plays
that nobody heard – I thought that was absurd
I complained and they said, “well, those records are first
??? on the radio, they gotta get to know you, we gotta do
another campaign, maybe another tune?”
I desperately needed one of my records to pop
they told me radio would push me over the top
and help land a contract with one of the labels
but there was no pot o’ gold under the rainbow
and I didn’t know – I did another campaign
that was over $30,000 – you feel my pain?
I felt I was ripped off, I felt pretty pissed off
one of the radio guys and I had this call
he said my manager was skimming the top
but the money I sent, they suck blood from a rock
my god, I swear nothing shocks me now
my legal fees I spent around twenty-thou
just preparing for deals that fell though and went sideways
but I wasn’t prepared for these industry mindgames
the other money was spent creatin’ my content
who do you think pays when you’re independent?
plus, on top of that, I’ve been getting the rent in
I’m workin’ on my dream when y’all are pretendin’
and when I’m cemented, you’ll be wishin’ you woulda
treated me better so you can get a share of the cheddar
however, since I fired every member involved
you’ll won’t get a dime – I won’t even answer your calls

The new album from L.A.’s Wayne Everett leans heavily into shimmery California pop, songs centered around beatific melodies.
