What I Like Lyrics by Musa Reems

Lately I’ve Been Sol Searching

2017

[Verse 1]
Me and this girl would record shop all the time
She was a hip hop head that's why I knew she was a dime
We listened to The Coming the first time we bust a rhyme
It was no biggie even Puff Daddy couldn't lock her Shyne
She knew how guys were and she knew the game
They fronted hella hard when they was really just some lames
But me? I never flexed about cash, maybe that's why
In high school she labeled me an outcast, look
Me and the fellas used to mob deep on the block
After me and her would link in the park and listen to Pac
Check it, I told her I was trying to be as big as Pun
But my village was a slum shit never pretty where I'm from
It was common for you to play two sports or sell Newports
That's why niggas dreams would always came up too short
But right around graduation we copped The Cool
Then we would bump some DOOM and then go grab some food like
[Verse 2]
Me and her used to talk to the cool kids
But they ass had wack taste in music
We played some Nas and they asked us, "Who's this?"
We looked at each other confused as shit
We were tired of hanging around false people
So we went home and listened to some Stretch and Bobbito
Specifically the L and Jay freestyle
Then listened to Dilla since everybody wanna make beats now
Yo check the methods man I get the cheddar fam
A rap star veteran make em run like the reverend
Yo what's rap without the women in our life?
That's like an MC not listening to Lyte
Y'all don't get into rap cause y'all don't look to the roots
Would rather worry 'bout an M than look into the proof
I guess that's why I love her cause she always knew the truth
We would always throw on classics I would never let her loose, nigga
[Verse 3]
When we would meet I would only read you a few lines
You told me I could really make it just in due time
We linked a few times then you gave me a few signs
We connected then wisdom was born like two nines
Now I got more bars than a penitentiary
You told me that if it was meant to be then it was meant to be, uh
You didn't know what you really meant to me
So then at the end of the day you said that you wasn't meant to me
It's three years later and I wonder where you be at
Shorty from Brooklyn so you know she don't take BS
We met up in Chicago then we linked again in BX
I took some time to myself just to sit back and to reflect but it's
Nothing to a G, I got game like Allen Iverson
Every man look for a woman that'll ride for him
Your homegirls some critics I had to fucking silence them
The smoothest nigga Musa Reems ain't nobody as nice as him
