The Briefing Lyrics

[Intro]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah
(About a hundred and fifty years in the making, nigga)
(Real life)
Jets, nigga
Uh
(Long road nigga)

[Interlude]
Now, Independence Day, that was a mixtape
Higher Than 30,000 Feet, that was also a mixtape
Welcome to the Winner's Circle, that was one of my mixtapes
Fear and Loathing in New Orleans, one of my mixtapes
Uh, Super Tecmo Bowl, that was also one of my mixtapes
It gets a little fuzzy around here, uh...
Fast Times in Ridgemont Fly, that was one of my mixtapes
Forgive me, I did too many
But uh... Fin, that was my last mixtape

And that brings us here
And see this, right here
This Ain't No Mixtape
I heard a lot of music, I heard a lot of mixtapes
This is not no motherfuckin' mixtape
Yeah!
Monsta Beatz behind the boards
Spitta in the booth
How long it took for us to do this, man?
I say about... a month and a half... y'knowwhatimsayin'
We did it all, courtesy of good weed, bad bitches and cold champagne
I had a good time
Dee-Low, did you have a good time?
Jean, did you have a good time?
Ridge, you had a good time, man?
Well, that's good 'cause we all had a good time
So we pretty sure y'all gonna have a good time
I know y'all digging this beat, y'all wondering what I'ma do wit it
If I'ma talk or just let it fade out
Or If I'ma get at it
(Jets, nigga, now where haven't we...)
[Verse]
Yeah, went solo on that ass but it's still the same
Niggas tryna jump ship to catch a ride on the plane
Niggas don't got shit to do they're throwing dirt on my name
I ain't got nothing to do but tie my big shoe strings
Louis pouch for loose change, couple joints of Mary Jane
A few Starbursts, you know who bought those cars first
You know who fuck them broads thirst
Them niggas flows be bad, you know who toss those bars worst
Spitta that nigga man star classman of the verse
Drug hip hop for my verse
Told her baby wake up, now may I play you a few cuts
Jets baby, you tryna see us then look up
By most I pulled two cuts, my Tesla roadster do donuts
I don't ride that bitch too much, I'm tryna keep the mileage low
I'm the difference between a yacht and a shrimp boat
You're the difference between a thrift store and trench coat
The difference between a Gulfstream and economy coach
This ain't a mixtape but dream this is really so
Snuck in the game, you lames left a crack in the door
We being stingy, we ain't givin' away swagga no more
So when we shop, we make the owners close down the store

[Outro]
Yeah, and they look up to the jets, nigga now where haven't we
And they look up to the jets, nigga now where haven't we... uh
Fuck boys wondering if they, yeah
Roll something up
Roll something up
Roll something up
Roll something up
Bitch, nigga

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 [?]
