River Lyrics by Yung Teez-R

Teez-Remix Thursdays Vol. 2

2016

[Verse 1]
Sat by the River Connecticut - notepad and a pen
Snow falls, got the gloves off, 'bout to go at it again
With the gloves off, I should go hard with the punchlines I present
Ink flows onto the page, as I feel the cold crawl on my skin
But the longer that I stayed, the worse that chill became
Even though the water hadn’t frozen yet, felt the ice in my veins
And so I left, knowing that I could write another day in better conditions
Still using some of the magic I had written
Like: ain’t no questioning my etiquette, when I’m rhyming better check the threat
String it together with better thread, I’m a roamer angelic — heaven sent
Though I ain’t talking odours you better be, smelling me, over many melodies
I be switching just so effortlessly, never just bring a singular flow
That's just one reason that you should stay streaming
This rain that's poured down from my SoundCloud most recently
In case you ain’t notice the flood is in motion boy
And if you ain’t careful you’ll find yourself drowning in this verbal ocean boy
[Hook]
Come to you river
I will come to you river
I will come to you river
Come to you river (Wash my soul)
I will come to you river (Wash my soul)
I will come to you river
Wash my soul again
[Verse 2]
Speaking of oceans I’mma be frank — my kill streak endless
Get the visual? I'm reporting to the call of duty these beats have been sending
Seems like all these rappers missed the signal
Either that or I’m a bat: I got them ears that pick up all of these good instrumentals
But that’s just incidental
You incy-wincies gnashing teeth so much you prolly need to set aside some fees for dentals
So brace yourself — for you this only gets worse
I make myself at home every single verse
And this is why I go above and beyond: Zimbabwean born, believe I be keeping the flag on my wall
Reminder of the land between those two rivers: Limpopo to the South, Zambezi the north
So while these boys trickle I just keep on flowing, hoping that somebody out there’s influenced
Or inspired by my passion for rapping, and blacking on everything I get on
Truth is in real life don’t like to boast, but behind the mic I be doing the most
‘Specially now as I test out new styles to put in new projects that I plan to post
In the future. Clearly I’ve been setting goals
Settling scores with anybody who was sleeping befo'
Now they like —
[Hook]
[Ibeyi Verse]
Carry away my dead leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those old means, so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them
[Hook]
[Outro] x3
