The Perch

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Oddisee] This here beyond top shelf shit I'm on display, right by the exit Call and request this, put it on your check list Feel free to let us in, like we on the guest list Yes, this be the one and only One to shun the phonies Ain't nothin' on me – I'm clean Shine like sheen from Soul Glo O' for the kids, but the flow for grown folks Know what I did for the truth and all that Come with it when I'm in the booth with raw raps I come with it Young hit it on the money like the 'Wheel Of Fortune' Somethin' y'all missin' that's real important I'm here to fill the void like 'Deep Space 9' You're here to feel the noise like deep bass lines Well, let's all listen Godfather here, on a "bless y'all" mission [Chorus: Tor Cesay] We lay low, we play notes 'Til it's daylight out the window We lay low, we take notes 'Til it's daylight out the window [Verse 2: Phonte] Grab a hold of your horses A grown man talkin', nigga, lower your voices No negotiation, this is not a democracy Nope, not even probably Ain't no other choices I came to give voice to the voiceless But some people say that my poise is Similar to arrogance I–think they babblin' I–been travelin' worldwide They sayin' "Nigga, Tay, you anointed With the gift to make all The people wanna take off They shoes and shake off they blues on the flo'" Any day, any week Any track, any beat Just keep my snare hittin' on the two and the four For each and ever-ry-one Tay lay it down like Bed, Bath & Beyond It's not no fable He's the thoroughbred fresh out the stable Always, God willing, and comfort-able Yep! [Chorus: Tor Cesay] We lay low, we play notes 'Til it's daylight out the window We lay low, we take notes 'Til it's daylight out the window [Verse 3: Tor Cesay]
