about
The debut single from the new Indie Hip-Hop duo S x S is a breezy, rhythmic record delving into the reach for opulence from the all too real position of financial turmoil and uncertainty. The muscular drums and atmospheric guitar work create a potent sound-bed for the dexterous, charismatic flows and insightful lyricism.
Forming in New York City, indie hip-hop duo S x S finds New Jersey-bred rapper, songwriter, singer and producer Saz.E joining forces with Chicago-bred producer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Don to craft a cutting edge brand of hip-hop music, running influences from different walks of music through their own unique sonic filter in an approach and style all their own. The duo aims to make music that is compelling on both a content level and a sonic level in a way that can deeply penetrate, resonate, entertain and thrill.
lyrics
horus:
Bout to be ballin, dog, I’m hanging on the rim low.
Call the law, I’m speeding off, I’ve been broke.
Tryna build a mansion in Greece.
Finna put a bungalow on the beach.
Ain’t nobody falling off, I’m too involved, my shit dope.
Top is off, she mardi gras and sip slow.
Tryna build a condo in Cali.
Maybe put a villa in the valley.
Verse 1:
Dog days have been finished.
Tryna get up and shed grimace.
Maybe the bucks bring delight, maybe the cents will bring smiles.
Dodge the reptiles
cut throat and foul.
They gon try to turn your pockets into lint,
remove the view you grew, leave dents…
in your bank account.
Tryna make it out.
Speeding off without breaks.
Couldn’t afford them jordans in grade school,
could only cop the clothes they say aint cool.
But my mindset now is break rules,
and make rules,
make the status quo hate you.
Been dreaming bout hitting cancun since spring break MTV.
Getting rich off of MP3’s.
And I think I’ll cut a check for the refugees.
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Tryna be boundless, frown-less.
Maybe build a mansion in the mountains.
Burning A1 green by the ounces.
With a girl with a lap like a fountain.
And demons keep pouncing,
and they get loud and
obnoxious with toxins.
Refuse to be boxed in.
I know my bro still watching,
I’m tryna earn options.
I been in the back seat of ubers thinking about impact.
How can I rap and keep myself in tact?
You become a target when you’re young and black.
Facts.
I fear losing myself every hour.
I fear falling short and losing power.
How do i inspire a coward
stuck in their ways?
I’m tryna trail blaze.
(Chorus)
(Interlude)
Verse 3:
I remember when they took my home.
Out here on my own.
Oh no! Where did we go wrong?
Oh!
I remember when they took my home.
On my own.
I’m just tryna rectify.
Brand new crib, come step inside.
Running through wonderland like I’m Alice.
Hold up in my palace.
I seek balance.
Sipping merlot from my chalice.
If you hating, you’re invalid.
You aint really bout it.
The weakest tend to be the loudest.
Exercise your malice.
(Chorus)
