Desi Shoegaze Taiko - Heems

Back in the day when pagers was the rage

I was see-through, I was paging all the babes

It must’ve been like 1995

They rocked the door knockers

Looking mighty fine

The 143 my code 76

I was dreaming and scheming of getting rich

Because Renee used this code too

When?

Ay yo, music gets me high

Before the days of email and press «reply'

Down like that

Brown like that

Who you know make a sound like that

I was with Mike when the towers came down

Now we make the powerful sound

I used to do the powder in pounds

Now I’m all grown-up, showering down

I smell like money

Aha, my money smell funny

A ha ha hee hee, yo I keep it one hundred

My folks had the candy shop on Queens Boulevard

Same as back then, the people gotta hustle hard

Mom said bogeys used to cost a buck fifty

Now they cost enough to cost a dude a buck fifty

You ain’t 'bout that life

You ain’t even gotta worry, dog

New York native, always in a hurry yo

Burning loosies in my room my?

kinda blurry yo

I’m riding on that DQ with hot nine on my stereo

Remember when the other kids in Queens called me Gandhi

Shivani watching MTV

Madonna and some Blondie

?

watching?

looking cool as Fonzie

I was watching?

Fab 5 Freddy, Rocksteady Crew, Cold Crush Brothers, only 92

I was only seven trying to ride my bike to cousins'

Used to talk about whips, now my cousins all stunting

Rock the flyest shit cause it never cost me nothing

And these other weirdo rappers ain’t weird, now they fronting

Now let me show you something

Bad with expressions, child of immigrants

They say I’m white, invisible melanin

Melanoma, Medellin, Melatonin Acetylene?

Drowning out everything

Many things better than

Money things, funny things, many things venison

Jameson, Hennessy, kick it like soccer

Swinging like tennis shit, make you feel proper

Kick it real proper

Shannen Doherty, Pete Doherty, cute shorty in Prada

She think I got paper, she don’t know that I got nada

Amway, Shamwow, Man Ray, Dada

Guap from her pop, she get it from her father

Mary J., Avon, Avant, Akon

Akron, Magnums, action shake on

Snakes on plates on tables of mahogany

Ebony, ivory

Everyone be jocking me

They wanna be my friend again

And again at Bennigan’s, and then again

It’s just limerick shenanigans

Lamping on a couch at Raymour and Flanigan

Ethan Allen, Ethan Hawke, Ethan Coen, Joel too

I be in bodegas, I don’t go to Whole Foods
