Catch This Wave - Translee, T.I.

Took them chains off round my Feet

Put them back round my necklace

Working till I can’t sleep no more

But that money just worth my stress

I bet you knew that

Ya no

I bet you knew that

Can’t catch this wave

Can’t catch this wave

Not with your du rag on

One of these days I’m gon be, way far away so low-key

And I don’t give a damn what your momma say

You fuck nigga still don’t know me

And I don’t want to hear bout your bread 'til you rich enough to not get shot

by the police

Translee

Can’t catch this wave

Can’t catch this wave

Not with your du rag on

We taking them shackles off

I want the gold rings

Like my uncle in Saginaw

My bandwagon too heavy

I’m keeping it steady by taking that wagon off

Freeing myself from all the

Constraints Social Media & Weed Alcohol Sex & greed

It’s looking like a new leave it to me

I’m blessed up

Been running my check up

How you beef & you ain’t never had you a life insurance

Or a checkup, get your self respect up

Been drowning in bullshit

From the neck down to the neck up

And still found a way to be

Next up

Like what what what what what

This tha new sub culture in Rap

It’s called being real no matter what’s going on in the trap

And being unapologetically black

These are facts the leading my waves at

He’s the Only God for the maps

More facts

Mean while the gatekeepers in Raps only getting more lacs

We can learn from Mufasa

Niggas need to more faster

For they sons a new chapter

Open up the new black panther in our blood

I’m more Malcom than Martin

& I’m sorry

Nat Turner & the Garvey

Its a war in our own backyard

So I ain’t going to the Army

Translee

Took them chains off round my Feet

Put them back round my necklace

Working till I can’t sleep no more

But that money just worth my stress

I bet you knew that

Ya no

I bet you knew that

Can’t catch this wave

Can’t catch this wave

Not with your du rag on

TIP

One of these days I’m gon be Way far away so low-key?

And I don’t give a damn

What your mum say You fuck nigga still don’t know me and I don’t want to hear
