Drop - Idris Lawal, Sydnee Croft, Jelani Watson

Drop, that tingle in your feet

The feeling of the beat, watch your knees fall in defeat

And buckle, before the vocals creep through the rubble

Subtle, like the pop of a bubble

Trouble, i start the verse, ya feel it one time

Make you dance your way onto the front line

Warning i ain’t here to take no names

The spoils of victory, I take claim

Feedback & fame won’t feed the fam

Smooth criminals, creep through villages

Gone in the morning, sheets we pillaged them

Young & corrupted, girls we caught up in

Bang on 'em eardrums …

We just trynna have some fun wit it

Neighbours wanna call the cops again

‘Cause my colour makes me complicit

Don’t make sense, it don’t make commas men

Drop me a line, they won come sentence me

HOOK

My skin is like bronze

My heart’s like a diamond

My tongue is like gold

My word is my bond

If i think it, i’m gon' drop

If I speak it, time gon' stop

If I sing it, & you bop

If I flip it, won’t you' cop

They wan' box me in, they can’t box with god

I know the ropes like a boxing ring

Can’t box me out

Can’t shake my dreams

Nigerian boy, i’m olajuwon

& I travelled

10,000 hours now I’m a veteran

Found me a girl

& found me some brethrens

Life is a lesson

I cut my check

& check off my checklists

I give you my word

I don’t want no sentence

It don’t make sense, it don’t make commas men

That my colour make me complicit

Drop me a charge, they won come empty me

Draining my blues to fill they cups with it

HOOK

My skin is like bronze

My heart’s like a diamond

My tongue is like gold

My word is my bond

If i think it, i’m gon' drop

If I speak it, time gon' stop

If I sing it, & you bop

If I flip it, won’t you' cop
