[Intro – 808 slide, brass stab, talkbox whisper]
Grrt… bah…
If you had… one shot
One brick in the shrimp boat
Would you flip it… or let it slip?
Loui… I am him.
[Chorus – low raspy bark, doubled]
You better lose yourself in the load (Woo!)
The moment, you own it, never let it go (Bow!)
One shot, don’t miss your chance to blow (No cap!)
Exotic load once in a lifetime, yo (Bet!)
You better lose yourself in the load (Grrt!)
The moment, you own it, never let it go (Bah!)
One shot, don’t miss your chance to blow
99 solutions, busta my one problem, yo
[Verse 1 – whisper-to-roar, flute loop]
Palms sweaty, knees weak, Van Cleef heavy
Gumbo on my sweater already, mama’s etouffee
Nervous, but surface calm, ready to drop bricks
Words won’t come out—opps jokin’ now
Clock run out, time’s up—blaow!
Snap back to the bayou, there goes gravity
There goes the plug, he choked, so mad but he won’t
Give up that easy, no—he the GOAT
Back to these shrimp boats, it don’t matter, he dope
Broke but stagnant? Nah, he knows
When he pulls back to the ward, that’s when it’s
Back to the lab again, yo—this whole rhapsody
Better flip this exotic load and hope it don’t pass him
[Chorus – deeper, ad-libs echo]
You better lose yourself in the load (Woo!)
The moment, you own it, never let it go (Bow!)
One shot, don’t miss your chance to blow (No cap!)
Exotic load once in a lifetime, yo (Bet!)
You better lose yourself in the load (Grrt!)
The moment, you own it, never let it go (Bah!)
One shot, don’t miss your chance to blow
99 solutions, busta my one problem, yo
[Verse 2 – fast 808 triplets, brass hits]
Soul escapin’ through the hole in the shrimp boat
This boot is mine for the takin’, make me king
Move toward a new world order—candy paint so wet
Normal life borin’, superstardom close to post-mortem
Only grows harder, homie grows hotter
Blows, it’s all over—these exotic bitches on him
Coast-to-coast slabs, he the Globetrotter
Lonely bayou roads, God only knows
Grown farther from home, no father
Goes back, barely knows his own daughter
Hold ya nose—here goes the cold water
These hoes don’t want him no mo’, he cold product
Moved on to the next plug who flows
Nose-dove, sold nada—so the soap opera unfolds
But the beat goes on—da-da-dum, gumbo roux
[Chorus – final bark, brass swell]
You better lose yourself in the load (Woo!)
The moment, you own it, never let it go (Bow!)
One shot, don’t miss your chance to blow (No cap!)
Exotic load once in a lifetime, yo (Bet!)
You better lose yourself in the load (Grrt!)
The moment, you own it, never let it go (Bah!)
One shot, don’t miss your chance to blow
99 solutions, busta my one problem, yo
[Verse 3 – drill drop, ad-libs heavy]
No more games, I’ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin’ roof off like two dracs caged
Played in the beginning, mood all changed
Chewed up, spit out, booed off stage
Kept rhymin’, stepped in the next cypher
Somebody payin’ the plug—exotic load supplier
Pain amplified by the fact I can’t get by
Nine-to-five?
NolaPlug
