Shorty breeze through in that YSL bumping Makavel
Fire even when she rock the veil mami hot as hell
Cake like John D Rocafell, Hommy out to kill
Ladies love him like the young LL, I rock the bells
Dry spell nikkas never gonna beat they acapell
They ain't trash far as I could tell but he la poubelle
Any situations bound to see my boo maneuver well
You could tell that she the shyt just by the way she do her nails
She used to work at retail, me I did street sales
Work until the feet fails, rain, snow, sleet, hail
Hallucinate it's all mirage it didn't seem real
But every time I heard the voice of God it was a female

The way this man skated on Marie :mindblown:

I keep seeing DiDi in my sleep with the gold teeth
Denise put some Wheaties in my cream she on some bro eat
You need to be strong mon
fukk all that inner shyt cause killers keep calm
She wrong, cause nikkas feelings need psalms
Stuck in facilities her memory gone
I can't eat I keep seeing D-Lo in my sleep
He steaming fleur de lis, the bimbo leaning in the seat
Keep a pass around within reach, a demon in the sheets
Say "Who dat?" with palm out squeezing at your jeep

I keep the rubber on my penis when I'm skeeting in a suite
Protect me, Lord please protect me
These nikkas tryna thief the technique they flex weak
Dem flex weak, them nikkas chains not gleaming dem cheap

Kriminel!!! :damn:

Rough translation of the hook on kriminel

“They say I’m a criminal
Look I’m not a criminal
It’s them the criminals
They’re the ones that are criminals”

What’s dope about the hook is the connection to the skit before it.

The skit before it is a recording of a homeless child in haiti criticizing the government of Haiti. She’s saying that if the government did its job that they wouldn’t have homeless children living on the streets. The child runs off for some reason and the person doing the recording than says that they didn’t see the child with any adults (implying that the child was an orphan)
Intresting, what do the verses have to do with that. From what I gather he is talking about deceased loved ones :jbhmm:

you right. The verse is a shout out to his people gone or in jail. But IMO the hook has some allusions to the government based on the skit of the kid talking.

the skit is literally titled “the state”

Looks like it's ripped straight from a Basquiat.



Edit: Yep, found it, it's a straight fukking ripoff lol. Unless it's a real Basquiat and he did almost the same shyt twice.

Fishing by Jean-Michel Basquiat

Gunn would tell you its "Ahrt", though :troll:

Not sure it was intentional as Basquiat paintings are highly popular....
I think it's a low key paying homage Since the Mach is Haitian, so since Basquiat is half Haitian half Puerto Rican and was in the early scene of when hip hop was merging with the downtown Manhattan punk,fashion, art scene headed by Fab Fab Freddy and them Basquiat was around and his paintings incorporated urban hip hop graffiti,voodoo art so I'm assuming the licensing needed from Basquiat estate to put Basquiat painting on the art cover maybe was an issue or not so they put that (copy/remake of the painting) .......who knows... Appreciate the indie underground vibe music though.
Here is a 1981
Blondie a punk rock artist from downtown hipster scene video with Basquiat shown in the video doing graffiti rare appearance Blondie the first non hip hop artists to have a single as It was the first number-one single in the United States to feature rap vocals .
