Floor Seats with Young Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Huh—Band Practice, like
Third shot, like
Favorite-rapper shit
I swear, the Frisbees have never been high
I mean, I'm reading back myself like, "Damn—really?"
Heh—ok


[Verse 1]
Livin' better at the thought of livin' better
Livin' is carpe diem so I'm caught in this forever
The smell of YSL over teddy bear sweaters
Know when I got one on, I never zip up my leather
Never did this to catch them, they wanted to catch me
Said, I wrote like I have yet to know what a rap be
Meaning it's deeper than rap, if you ask me
Or the subjects of the stories I told where the track be, haha

Two classics and rolling on lap three
My whip was two doors, I drove from the back seat
I did it like who's y'all and know that on lap three
I'm still clueless to y'all, but I know where the track leads
Meaning all I see is lane and opportunity
Lil' road kill, ID 'em by they jewelry
Know the flow still got 'em leaning out the coupe with me
Like, "Son, do you hear what he saying? I mean, truthfully"

Truthfully, I'm just waiting for this to pass
This five-year plan that I gave 'em is in the bag
The bag got monograms on it if you ask
And a space jam glow if you open it and grab

Just a dude from Brooklyn who had intentions
Of hoping that Jay is watching and saying, "Yeah, he gets it"
But hoping that Jay is watching is double-edged and twisted
Like, "Yeah, I'm still a fan but now I'm within the business"
The blinders is on but I get the urge lift 'em
I peak and leave it there, I out-swerve collisions
My peak is still in there, I'm nowhere in reach of it
Yet, I sound like its a throne here that I'm leaning in

Critics say that my destiny's that guy
I'm just here to tell a story, if I ever sit that high
Then I'm playing follow the leader, applaud that as a given
Like, "I don't fuck with the nets, but damn I fuck with his vision"
And I never been a follower, but if I do follow
It'll be a six-hundred-mill leader and a few bottles

My fan base is double-knotted like an ascot
Half of 'em got degrees, half of 'em got stash spots
Half of 'em strip and half is contemplating
I see your vision, Mama
I put my money on the long shot, treat it like you Caine and Dog
With no prints to be rinsed and no names to recall

I mean, we out here in grind-mode, caught up in a paper chase
I wanna fuck a fine ho and front-row the fade aways
Madison square
Or Barclays, whenever the boys from Madison Square is passing through there
I'm in a blue and orange state, its only apathy here
I was raised on them colors, Jigga, that should be fair
But I still lift my hat at the achievement
Only it's blue and orange letters where the team is
If we can get past that and between this, uh, then this baton will be easy for me to leave with
Floor seats, suede Timbs where my feets is
Raised on what he wrote and who my team is

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Did Madlib produce this for Skyzoo, or is it a remix?
Genius Answer

In this song Skyzoo used “On the Hill” (2005), an old track of Sound Directions from Madlib’s Yesterdays Universe.

Band Practice is not an official release. For the artist it was some kind of challenge he started in 2013: Sky decided to release an exclusive freestyle over a Jazz composition every Tuesday.

In “Phone Calls” he used track “Montara” from Madlib’s Shades of Blue. In “Grew Up on Kool-Aid” he is freestyling over “Starfighter” of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
