"Static" takes aim at the workaholic, "rise and grind mentality" of 21st century America, and more specifically, the affect it has on black Millennials.

lyrics

Intro

Whole lotta static who willing to fight for it
Whole lotta havoc I'm hoping your lights on
Jealous not a good look when you holding your light wrong

Verse 1
You circled in the air then picked me down to the bones
Imagined wrongs for which I could not atone/atone
Rising from the ashes
You can't handle the shine
Gave it your best shot but I won't be denied/denied

Pre Chorus
Miss me with your explanations
Melanated magic and you can't take it
Emperor is naked
Average/Overrated
Smooth operator you got got
Tried to flip the script
But then you lost the plot
Now sit back/gag and watch the glow up

Chorus
Usually keep it moving
But I got time today
Fact or fiction/For you it's all the same
Uncertainty's your only certainty
It's white noise when you talk to me
You're static/You're just static
Get off my frequency


2nd Verse
Your noxious duplicity seeped inside of me
Sucked out the poison/Scabs are finally clean/clean
Talking out two faces
Didn't know who to believe
Jackals and vultures are the company you keep/You keep

Pre Chorus
Miss me with your explanations
Melanated magic and you can't take it
Emperor is naked
Average/Overrated
Smooth operator you got got
Tried to flip the script
But then you lost the plot
Now sit back/gag and watch the glow up

Chorus
Usually keep it moving
But I got time today
Fact or fiction/For you it's all the same
Uncertainty's your only certainty
It's white noise when you talk to me
You're static/You're just static
Get off my frequency

A.J.'s Verse:
Today I got nothing but time I hear you stuck on what's mine
Stuck on a mine hoping it blow as the time rewind now let's open ya mind

How you want it with me, but didnt think that you would run into me
I think it's funny to see cuz you really tryna plot getting mad looking hotter than 100 degrees

And I usually dont do this but ima match what ya mood is you was just hoping I lose it
Now ima lose it putting you back where the fool is putting you back now you foolish

You wanted the static not knowing its habit to use it Now I'm a addict influenced
As bad as a nuisance I bring the bag and the nooses and hang you in back of the buick

Chorus
Usually keep it moving
But I got time today
Fact or fiction/For you it's all the same
Uncertainty's your only certainty
It's white noise when you talk to me
You're static/You're just static
Get off my frequency

Outro
Replaced me with another
Only difference was our color
Twice as good but half as far's
Not worth the distance I discovered
