Detroit's Nolan The Ninja debuted his latest single 2 Cents w/ VIBE Magazine today. Producer 5YNOT hits the lo-fi laid back throwback vibes heavy giving Nolan and Chuck Inglish (The Cool Kids) room to blaze those eager to offer their unsolicited 2 cents.
"Chuck & I met some months ago through my homie, JUS. We chopped it up & a few days later, we were in the studio. I was just going through joints I had & he told me to keep “2 Cents” rolling. He wrote to it & we knocked it out. I remember him calling it some ‘futuristic Wu shit’," said Nolan.
lyrics
IF I LET YOU HOLD MY WHIP & YOU CRASH MY SHIT
I’MMA BEAT YO ASS, NO MATTER HOW RICH I’M IS
OFF THE STRENGTH, IT’S THE PRINCIPLE, I’LL PENCIL YOU IN
NOTHING TO IT BUT TO DO IT & I’LL DO IT AGAIN
IT’S ALL WRITTEN, SCRIPTED LIKE IT’S SHOT ON FILM
REAL SHIT, OUT HERE, YOU COULD GET SHOT FOR RIMS
DETROIT CITY BABY, ON THE EASTSIDE MAYBE
HAD BUFFS ON AT THE KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION
LITTLE BIT OF PATIENCE, I AIN’T WITH THE WAITING
IT’S NOT THAT IMPORTANT IF IT’S NOT ABOUT THE PAPER
AND THAT’S NOT HOW I FEEL, BUT YOU KNOW IT’S REAL
CUZ IF IT’S BOUT THE LOVE, NIGGA, ALL OF US’D BE UP
WHILE YOU AT IT, YOU SHOULD ROLL THAT BLUNT
AND DON’T BE GETTING SPIT ON IT LIKE I AIN’T TRYNA SMOKE
REAL LIVE RAP WITH THE CAKE MIX BATTER
WHIP TIL IT’S SOFT LIKE HER ASS GOT FATTER
THE ENGINE 2 EXHAUST, AT THE LIGHT, PEELING OFF
TAKING FLIGHT WHEN I COUGH, MAN, YOU NIGGAS KNOW BETTER
YOU CAN KEEP THEM LITTLE 2 CENTS WITH YOU
KEEP THEM TWO CENTS
YOU CAN KEEP THEM LITTLE 2 CENTS WITH YOU
AY, WHEN I SET IT OFF, NIGGAS MORE QUIET THAN URSELA
NERVE OF THESE HERBS, GOING RAMPANT WHEN I PAINT THE CANVAS
VERBAL CONNECTION, PEEP THE STANZAS
POSTURE IS STEADY, RESIDUE IN THE NOSTRILS FROM BLOWING HEAVY BUT SHIT
CHECK THE MEDLEY, PROPHETIC PROCEDURES, I DO THIS CUZ NIGGAS IS CLUELESS TO THIS NEW SHIT
CRITICS, YOU COULD KEEP YOUR TWO CENTS
SUPPORT THE TRASH, I CHUNK THE DUECES LIKE THAT CHRIS BROWN NIGGA
YOUNG PRODIGY KEEP IT THORO, I’M ILL
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW THAT, MY SKILLING’S MISTER MIYAGI, TRY ME
RECOMMEND THAT YOU PROBABLY, SHOULDN’T DO THAT
GOT BITCHES ASKING WHO THAT
I’M ONE OF A KIND, THE TYPE YOU’LL NEVER FIND
RARITY BREED, SWALLOW MY SEED
REVIEW THE STATEMENT OF LP’S, COLLECTING MY CHEESE
PLAY PUNCTUAL WITH MY PAPER, IF I’M ON THEM PAPERS
I NEED IT NOW, I DON’T FUCK WITH LATER
I’M NOT A WAITER, MY PATIENCE IS MAD THIN, WE NEED THIS SHIT
YOU CAN KEEP THEM LITTLE 2 CENTS WITH YOU
KEEP THEM TWO CENTS
YOU CAN KEEP THEM LITTLE 2 CENTS WITH YOU
