Progress or Die Lyrics by Kardinal Bloo

Birds Rap Too

2023

[Hook]
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified

[Bridge}
It's not linear, it's messy
It looks like you fucked up
It looks like when you cleaning your room
'Nd you halfway through it
And that joint looks more fucked up than whеn you started

[Verse 1]
I don't give a fuck about respеct (true)
The notion is tied into corrosive aspects
Of power dynamics amongst the crew
And niggas wanna utilize it for a check, yuh
Check this
You ever seen how they treat a stooge? (what they do what they do)
The lowest of low, the butt of the jokes
But the joke is that you glad it ain't you!
When you know the truth is it could be...
Nigga
You fuckin' know it, you know this shit ain't right
You know you could just as easily be in that position
If the tides was switchin'

[Hook]
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified
Progress or die, progress or die
It's time for my verbal sword to be fortified

[Bridge]
Kardinal Bloo
Kardinal 'cause I keep my head in the sky
Bloo because sometimes I wanna cry, but
Real ones know that that sadness part of the process for progress
Ya dig?

[Verse 2]
ShIt I'll put a monkey in a bucket if it's all I got (if it's all I got)
I could be anything but I could never fuckin be a cop (fuck a pig)
I could be anything and I know that sometimes I'm a lot
The type of nigga to make you feel it from the parking lot
Before you even step into the venue
They be like "guess who?"
I be like "it's me, Kardinal Bloo, Kardinal Bloo, Kardinal Bloo..."

[Outro]
Kardinal will and Kardinal won't
Kardinal is a lil sad boy
Kardinal knows endless boundless joy
Kardinal is a isolationist
Kardinal give everybody he know a kiss
Kardinal could sing the blues
Kardinal... could take ya shoes
Kardinal don't need no shoes 'cause Kardinal got wings
Kardinal could rap, Kardinal could sing
Kardinal can do everything and be anything
