BoogieLo - A Strive Called Quest Lyrics
Official




Mindset reset since the age of ten
Way back when
I thought ya future only bright as ya skin and she's only worth wifin' if she got
Lighter skin
Let my pen tell it then I done killed many men
Moved more bricks than the bad wolf and the third pig
Took swigs of lean by the gallon
Holdin' Styrofoam cups like a golden chalice
Seepin' thru seems or so it seems
Things take time
Gotta love slow things
Seeds sowed years ago
I know they growin'
Punched in early and I punched out late
Couldn't buy it out so I got layaway
So many people give up these days
But everything got a honeymoon stage
No it's not stress just beauty in the struggle
I've been learning all day with the life that I juggle
I fix my face, I fix my fate
I pick the pace, I won't be late
Working 9-5 I've been gone all day
Making money is the only way to stay sane
But that may seem insane cause i'm barely gettin' paid
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Stack my cake, pay the bills
Take no breaks, No time to kill
Thinkin' when my ego pulled me through school
Got my head straight i'm equipped with the tools
17 thinkin' that I could go pro
Dreams underwater got me a gopro
Got my goggles on underwater I sea (see)
But the enemy was trying to keep me alive
The enemy sit and watch my soul die
I guess I'm still tryin figure out why
But up until then imma feed into the lies
Hoopin' didn't work so now i'm in the booth
Learnin' everyday tryna put on for the youth
Building the connection call me a bluetooth
Mama countin' on me and I can't let her down
Ma the house is coming this is just a countdown
Yeah, am I allowed to dream
Went from chillin with the team now i'm writing in the stream
Working so hard just to get up out of Mill
When I get a mill it's a trip to the hills
But up until then it's work and the grind
Loving everyday and appreciating time
BoogieLo something like Shaq & Kobe in they prime
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Seepin' thru seems or so it seems
Things take time
Gotta love slow things
Seeds sowed years ago
I know they growin'
Punched in early and I punched out late
Couldn't buy it out so I got layaway
So many people give up these days
But everything got a honeymoon stage
Seepin' thru seems or so it seems
Things take time
Gotta love slow things
Seeds sowed years ago
I know they growin'
Punched in early and I punched out late
Couldn't buy it out so I got layaway
So many people give up these days
But everything got a honeymoon stage
Passion need action Toni Braxton needa breathe again
I needa Anita Baker sweet love for my passions
And my sweet lady that I find one day
Layaway another day and I pray Day-to-Day
Is it for real is it for buzz
Is it for real is it for buzz
The lovey dovey stage has an in and out fade
Would you treat em then like u did the first day
Rather deviate from the truth
Truth is I don't wanna lose
You say you love me you say you really care
Feeling like our love is being tied tied up to a chair
Feeling like our love is fresh out of air
Feeling like our love is going through some wear and tear
Say you right here but I'm looking like where?
Looking at the stars in a daze I stare
So to Astro
Where I go
There's no blow
Where life slow
Live freely no Jim Crow
I hear y'all "come back though"
I'm trapped though
That's facts though
You act so impactful
No cap though
I need interest
No tax though
To the max though
