DarcSlim – 9TH JULY IN IFE Lyrics

9TH JULY IN IFE – DarcSlim Lyrics

Intro:

Yeah

I know I'm supposed to say some cool shit like

I'm just chilling in the Hamptons

Or I'm in Hawaii enjoying the ocean view, ha

But nah, I'm in Ile-Ife

And it's just as cool as fuck

Verse:

Look

They should call me commando how I stay on the frontlines

Might die before I blow with the music but it’s worth trying

The irony of that line, I soldier march for miles

Fit still blow by mistake, I dubstep on a land mine

My goal is the top like shawty slurping on hard guys

Steady footing, one at a time how I rock climb

I never even saw that movie about Devon Miles

But the way I got these bands lining up it’s a drum line

Grandma died and now I understand why my pops vied

To hide the pain, he kept strong for his first child

Rae lost her best friend, cat carry my tongue hide

I Just couldn’t relate to the feeling of dogs dying

Been years since that day, know you think bout it sometimes

Why life designed a play with everybody on runtime

Secretly prayed since I was born of the Most High

Lord when it’s my time would you give me a Sundial

And I know that’s a heavy ask

Belief ain’t as strong as it used to be, a heavy heart

Anytime I try to pray omo I barely last

Garri turned my best friend and now I rarely fast

Still I was there when them snot nosed people called for tissue

And they in turn shit in my face I won’t prolong the issue

Destiny the realest G that I got from boarding school

How we put the past behind us that story’s for the prequel

Smoked on all my ex pack, never hit a ex back

Talking bout some let’s get back together nigga feck that

I mean we could link if you tryna get some sex fast

Like a two minute man do it quick and then we end that

Now everybody claims they cold

But breda I could bite your style and still won’t end up with frost bite

I got second, third, fourth wind like a turbine

Tried to kill the kid, but like Aizen I cannot die

Style changed over the years like tryna pop a pimple

The technicals are for the nerds so now I drop it simple

Na stranger wey go wish me well dey turn to brother

Might throw a dollar in a wishing well fuck a quarter

Might throw myself inside the well and carry all the quarters

You wish me hell I wish you hell too aura for aura

You wish me hell I wish you hell, fuck I’ll bring the burner

You wish me hell I wish you mtcheww

Pops said everything go work only if you put in effort

That’s why I just do it like I copped my self an Air Force

Still that kid on paper planes trying to get airborne

If I fall I no complain, turn and do some press ups

Gave my parents gifts, how you think I won’t be blessed huh

I no dey write exams again, I’m done with all that stress huh

First music money came from Deji’s pockets guess what

I was rapping how the ruler dey oppress us

Word to PayBac he ain’t afraid to get censored

He fit dey go jail just because of him expressions

West African Goat inspired me to drop my first song

Played it for Winner J, he was wowed, it’s my best work

2.6k on Spotify it’s my best song

Was looking for money like who dem deny pension

Nas Ps call of duty, said Divine, do some airdrops

Got me playing games, for a while, not the Xbox

So what’s next huh?

Outro:

Shoutout to Nas P real nigga

Shoutout to Destiny real G

Shoutout to PayBac Iboro

Shoutout to Pops

Like, I understand everything you said while I was smaller right now
