about
Wha-what's the word?
Being an indie artist doesn't come without its fair share of disappointment. This song relates to not being heard and the struggle of "the come up."
Listen to Pats & Raptor exchange hard-hitting bars showcasing their delivery and lyricism in this bouncy, old school hip-hop track.
lyrics
What can you do when you ain’t bein’ heard
What’s the word? What’s the, what’s the word
We too live son, you gotta sit back and listen
Top of the morning to ya would this morning loner bone ya
I’m drinking some Marijuana water and I’m feeling sorta
A little bit warmer I’m thinking of ripping my clothes off
Strip it like a shopping mall that’s awfully small resembling a corner
Store, that’s where I get my stuff
I’m not cheap but to be honest I keep it a buck
Just like your bitches’ teeth whenever she decides to suck
I can’t even say that shit, fuck I don’t even know what’s up
Why is the sky so grey and why is it always raining
Maybe cause I stay in Vancouver, but this loser won’t stay complacent
I’m taking over the game I was just laying my foundation
Like stumbling across a Tibia when I’m reshaping up my basement
Oh, hey nevermind I never meant to say that
I’m a great guy the kind who used to lay low and take crap
But now I aim back with a pack of raps yea bitch I stay strapped
I made a song with Saint Pat so I’m hella lucky on this great track
What can you do when you ain’t bein’ heard
What’s the word? What’s the, what’s the word
We too live son, you gotta sit back and listen
What can you do when you ain’t bein’ heard
What’s the word? What’s the, what’s the word
We too live son, you gotta sit back and listen
What can you do when you ain’t bein’ heard
What’s the word? What’s the, what’s the word
We too live son, you gotta sit back and listen
We back it up, so let it go
We coming for the top so watch out below
You had a run, but now you’re slow
We coming for the top so watch out below
Intangible
That means you can't touch me
Three is company but Rap and I
We do it well
I'm livin' swell but my music gotta reach higher
If I try any harder, I'mma get fired
I just wanna be admired
The biggest Canadian since Mike Myers was hired
That's a gold member, these cats are flakey
They likin' all your posts but DMin' your lady
Shoutout the Em' and the Shady
This ain't no imitation
Keepin' ‘em waitin’ but the album comin' soon
I'm thinkin' probably June but I probably got room
Cus we live in a world filled with saturation
Gotta do a backflip for Spotify placements
At this rate, I'll probably never leave my basement
Livin’ rent free, makin’ music, so amazin’
You really ain’t livin’ without Pats on your station
What can you do when you ain’t bein’ heard
What’s the word? What’s the, what’s the word
We too live son, you gotta sit back and listen
What can you do when you ain’t bein’ heard
What’s the word? What’s the, what’s the word
We too live son, you gotta sit back and listen
