95 Radios (feat. Has-Lo)

Okay, it's quiet now

And we drove all through the neighborhood

Just sittin' in a car all day

Tryin' to find a radio

And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil

Pointed at the window frame

Tryin' to find a radio

All up in my grandma's basement

Slidin' all the closet doors

Tryin' to find a radio

And the homies say they heard a rap song

Sounded like some folks they know

But we couldn't find a radio

Hard to express when the world is listless

Hard when you're sure that the world is not

In between P.M. Dawn and Sun Ra

Wearin' a suit like my school mascot

The Edison owl, not head in the crowd

Could match my technique and impeccable style

Says the young Hasan

In the mirror while Tip's sayin' rock, rock on

With my guy Stefan who despite the specks

Saw himself doing things he would live to regret

Anyway, reciting off top the memory

Burnt a little jay up, my laugh was Gimli

Regarding the guns I coulda shot

I'm more Dove, might blow up but won't pop

Jigsaw blocks and hop the road home

Steps on the Ave where I played and roamed

And we drove all through the neighborhood

Just sittin' in a car all day

Tryin' to find a radio

And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil

Pointed at the window frame

Tryin' to find a radio

All up in my grandma's basement

Slidin' all the closet doors

Tryin' to find a radio

And the homies say they heard a rap song

Sounded like some folks they know

But we couldn't find a radio

The old me would drink a forty and eat bologna, Shinobi

On NBA Live, I play with Kobe The OG's

I miss my old hood, miss my homies, it's lonely

The radio hosts, it's like they know me

The ocean, picked a sea shell, I saw it floating

Was hoping to hear the airwaves

I think it's broken

I can still play it, if the tape resurfaces

Kept a old boom box just for these purposes

Heard a mix show, had mine on it recently

People had a hard time finding the frequency

A piece of me sho feels personal

Circled on all sides by used car commercials

It's worth it though, whole block listening

'Cept the kids, they so not interested

Implement new COINTELPROs

Hooks fit loops copyrighted by Velcro

Whole sound changed, don't nobody wanna sell those

Call the intercom, y'all, this is my bell code

And we drove all through the neighborhood

Just sittin' in a car all day

Tryin' to find a radio

And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil

Pointed at the window frame

Tryin' to find a radio

All up in my grandma's basement

Slidin' all the closet doors

Tryin' to find a radio

And the homies say they heard a rap song

Sounded like some folks they know

But we couldn't find a radio
