Path to Pave Lyrics by Keenan Layne

New Faces

2020

[Hook: Keenan Layne]
The path to pave you’ll learn to engrave
(Learn to engrave)
Every word I say until my dying day
Maybe it’s better this way
(Better this way)
So sway to the beat
(Beat)
Down on the street
(Street)
And never grit your teeth cause defeat is beneath
(Defeat is beneath)
The path to pave so simple and plain
Go against the grain if you got a fucking brain
(Go against the grain)
You’ll know it’s my rein, my attire
(My attire)
Just know I will never retire
And surely nеver expire
(Nеver expire)
Cause I followed my own path to desire
[Verse 1: Ka$h]
Like Skooly said I hope I never acquire (Gas) the fuckin desire
To ever go fuckin retire
My mission is juss to inspire (Yeah)
I'm all in these people mentions
They always talkin' sneak dissin'
It's just to make up for all the ass they been kissin' (Mwah)
And now I'm just out here tryin' to make a livin'
I'm self motivated and driven (Ha)
My own family be trippin' (Ah)
I'm tryna catch up
I know I can never get caught slippin' (Pow pow)
I'm tryna be up on them stages and where the only thing in my pockets is Benji's (Ching)
And if you workin' with the Feds just know snitches get stitches (Grrrt)
I know a couple people lay you down with no remorse or no grievances (Pow)
I feel like I'm in the jungle (Grrrt)
Where the lions and cheetahs at
I got my team we always ridin' around like we was just in a pack
But when you start to make it
They come around like there was strings attached
But when I was down at my lowest
Ha, Where you was at? (Where?)
And I don’t understand how you not cappin' but you got on you a hat (Damn)
And I be so faded if you bring up an occasion where I know you I wouldn't even remember that (When?)
It's Ka$h
[Hook: Keenan Layne]
The path to pave you’ll learn to engrave
(Learn to engrave)
Every word I say until my dying day
Maybe it’s better this way
(Better this way)
So sway to the beat
(Beat)
Down on the street
(Street)
And never grit your teeth cause defeat is beneath
(Defeat is beneath)
The path to pave so simple and plain
Go against the grain if you got a fucking brain
(Go against the grain)
You’ll know it’s my rein, my attire
(My attire)
Just know I will never retire
And surely never expire
(Never expire)
Cause I followed my own path to desire
[Verse 2: Keenan Layne]
My body hits the hearse
I’m the worst to go after a blood thirst *Screams*
I must be cursed you know I’m always diving in headfirst *Splash*
Fighting for a reason to be the topic of this changing season *Sword*
A good enough reason to be tried for treason *Gavel*
Through out the entire eastern region
Spanning out to the garden of Eden
And the army of legion *Gun cocked*
Taking down the Commie party
Dropping mass amounts of bodies
Trashy bitches in my hotel lobbies (Uhhh)
Dressed like Barbies asking about my hobbies
College parties acknowledge it’s garbage
I’m here for knowledge
Now to pay homage to those who chose to flow for show
You taught me all that I know
From Mac to the man with a Rattpack
Thanks for having my back
And teaching me to talk smack up on a track *Smack*
So laidback I never slack on a verse that’s why you’re worse
You never rehearse your purse will never burst
If you don’t fix that verse
[Hook: Keenan Layne]
The path to pave you’ll learn to engrave
(Learn to engrave)
Every word I say until my dying day
Maybe it’s better this way
(Better this way)
So sway to the beat
(Beat)
Down on the street
(Street)
And never grit your teeth cause defeat is beneath
(Defeat is beneath)
The path to pave so simple and plain
Go against the grain if you got a fucking brain
(Go against the grain)
You’ll know it’s my rein, my attire
(My attire)
Just know I will never retire
And surely never expire
(Never expire)
Cause I followed my own path to desire
[Verse 3: Keenan Layne]
Wicked rhymes and even wickeder crimes *Siren*
I’m defiling shrines and pawning off dimes
I bet you’ll feel this shiver down your spine *Chills*
Nothing but a sliver of this verse needs to be delivered
For you to memorize it like a bit of scripture (Amen)
Or a line from our Mr. Miller
I’m the bone chiller, blood spiller, radioactive gold digger
With the liquor hittin' quicker
I’m starting to get sicker *Gagging*
Up goes all my dinner
But hey, now I’m looking thinner
God knows I’m a filthy sinner with my inner thoughts
Sick enough to catch the Chicken Pox *Coughing*
Trading stocks and breaking locks
Sneaking into Fort Knox
Dear Henrietta you're looking better than ever *kissing*
Will you be mine forever, I’m clever
To whomever it may concern
Allow me to confirm your impending return to this infernal Earth
A gift and a curse so said my wet nurse let me reverse and be more diverse
You’ve never met someone worse
