Blissful Ignorance
02:54
|
|||
Never really thought that it would be like this
Was never too worried bout scoring but I love making assists
But I got a change of heart, so I hope you get the gist
I gotta start crossin' shit off my list
They say ignorance is bliss, but when people ignore me I be gettin' pissed
Bet they won't ignore me when I got sumn shinin' on my wrist
But shit
Why do it gotta be all that
I thought you s'posed to get recognition from the way you rap
But the only time I'm recognized is if I smell like a pack
And they tried to tell me smoking weed is whack
Now it's legal, and I'm not finna be one of those people
So please don't try to tell me about no reefer
They say ignorance is bliss, so I blissfully don't give a shit
Ignore the hate and continue makin' hits
Grinding up an eighth, pack the bong, let it rip
No need to debate bout the fake from yo lips
Ignorance is bliss, so I blissfully don't give a shit
Ignore the hate and continue makin' hits
Grinding up an eighth, pack the bong, let it rip
No need to debate bout the fake from yo lips
Ain't worried bout the fake from yo lip
Got a Jodye Joint in mine, take my face for a lift
Sippin' out the bottle I don't like to chase the liq
I got slides on, I cannot chase a chick
But we can chill, I'm independent, I can't sign a deal
So don't try too hard to feel, just know the mutual vibrations are real
That's why you wet like a seal, and I'm no Navy Seal
But I'm goin' deep divin'
I'm not tryna know too much, that's why I be vibin
But ask me anything, and the truth I will recite it
I know you like me, kinda like you too
Let's see what it do
But let's not be ignorant to the face I'm married to the stu
They say ignorance is bliss, so I blissfully don't give a shit
Ignore the hate and continue makin' hits
Grinding up an eighth, pack the bong, let it rip
No need to debate bout the fake from yo lips
Ignorance is bliss, so I blissfully don't give a shit
Ignore the hate and continue makin' hits
Grinding up an eighth, pack the bong, let it rip
No need to debate bout the fake from yo lips
Welcome to Jaguar Jodye

Ash Ketcham

I'on never wear my hat to the back, I feel like Ash Ketcham
I'm the type to roll up two three fives if it's my last seven
Do the math, who is that
Don't worry bout it
Cuz you gon' find out in a minute
But he could be gone in a second
So you might as well just forget it
SIKE
I'm runnin' the mic, best believe Imma spit shit that you like
I ain't seen my dawg in a while but best believe this is like riding a bike
Ain't nun to it, what you thought that we stopped movin
We just had to make improvements
Cuz when you got it you can never lose it
That's why I'm always rollin doobies
I'on really need to go to the movies
I walk out the house and I run into actors, cappers
But where they at when you need em
Casper
Do all the work then they show up right after
Backwards
That's why I don't ask first, I do now
Please don't ask why the gas too loud
Cuz I put in the work and I'm too proud
Tryna catch all of this paper
I be smokin' different flavors
I ain't worried bout a hater
You can't Ketcham see me later
Tryna catch all of this paper
I be smokin' different flavors
I ain't worried bout a hater
You can't Ketcham see me later
Walked up in the spot like a smooth operator
My main mission is make ways to get paper
It can be now, or the funds can come later
Either way it go, I gotta go get the cake up
Every damn day, I gotta just wake and bake up
No matter what you say, I gotta go make a way
Games I don't play, I live life like GTA
On passive mode
Cuz I'm just tryna grind for a massive load
Of things that I've never seen
Only achieved in my dreams
But I'm tryna make 'em reality
Could give a damn if you mad at me
Cuz I'm focused on my path you see
You can call me a DIY athlete
Tryna catch all of this paper
I be smokin' different flavors
I ain't worried bout a hater
You can't Ketcham see me later
Tryna catch all of this paper
I be smokin' different flavors
I ain't worried bout a hater
You can't Ketcham see me later

This feeling is so great, it's something I could never fake
I'm just glad that on my journey here, I didn't break
Could've gave my spot away
Fold up and just rot away
But I look my demons in they faces and tell 'em all not today
I got nun to prove, but I got shit to do, so I got sumn to lose
Timing
But it's perfect for me, so Imma keep vibin'
These beats I keep slidin'
No tint, so you see me ridin'
I may be a lot of things but one of 'em ain't hidin
But I am lowkey
Key in doors, they open for me
I just knew I had to keep recording
I am so sure of these
Lyrics
It's gon' take a minute for y'all to hear it
Cuz y'all too focused on them gimmicks
But it's okay cuz Imma keep spittin'
Gotta keep livin'
Dyin' ain't a choice, but it is evident
So until then I gotta use these gifts that were heaven sent
And if you thinking about giving up lemme give you this
Look yo demons in the eye, throw up a fist
And say
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
They gon' try to bring you down, tell 'em not today
We might have a shitty system, but them games do no play
It don't matter how you move, just don't get in my way
It cost to be the boss, but that price you gotta pay
It cost to be the boss, but that price you gotta pay
It cost to be the boss, but that price you gotta pay
Staying my lane
Can't be looking over shoulders
Holding grudges make you colder
Lessons learned now I'm Sosa
Dropping dope by the boat load flowing
Niggas mad cuz I'm still going
Shown and prove but still showing
Hoes still in the game in both ways
Tryna be a worker in the game and I'm boss made
Been a boss for some years, now I'm another level
Realizing that it's special how I put this shit together
Rhymes clever
Niggas sleep, I bury them with a shovel
Stunt on a bitch ass niggas just to have 'em disheveled
Whoa
Crazy how I failed and I got so close
Came so far but sometimes it's like time froze
They wanna see it over but they already know
Not today
Not foreal
I'm on my way
So much on my plate
On a marathon fuck a race
Pay to play like any day
When we gon' shine it'll be on rainy stages
Put so much work in they gon' show up in the papers
Hella pressure, when the pressure, make you hazy
Mentally stoned I won't stop not today G
I won't stop not today
Life's crazy and complex
You might can make it for the set
Regardless if you gave yo best they still gon' ask you what's next
More respect, more checks
James Harden still working on my left
And when I'm on my last breath, and I ain't got nothin' left
I won't stop
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
Not today
They gon' try to bring you down, tell 'em not today
We might have a shitty system, but them games do no play
It don't matter how you move, just don't get in my way
It cost to be the boss, but that price you gotta pay
It cost to be the boss, but that price you gotta pay
It cost to be the boss, but that price you gotta pay

I may have different personas but I'm still only one man
I love to help people out, so I do all I can
On the other hand, can't forget to check under the hood
Cuz if yo engine ain't workin' right then shit ain't all good
That's why I smoke the papers, no woods
If you haven't switched yet, you should
You believe you can't, I know you could
If you tried
I got faith in all my people, I ain't never lied
Sometimes I lose faith in me, but I never act surprised
Cuz stayin' in my head will be my only demise
If I let it
Things happen for a reason, so the stress, just forget it
Can't have my feelings break thru this emotional levy
I just gotta keep it steady
Cuz now I'm grindin' for that Chevy
SS Monte Carlo
But first I gotta make sure this Jag take me far yo
Only had it for a week then it started giving me problems
But I just stayed cool, figured out a way to solve it
I'm always busy cuz it is a lot that I'm involved in
So if I come back flexin', don't mind me I'm just ballin'
Went from taking orders, to shot callin'
A young boss man
When it comes to what I want, could give a fuck bout what it cost man
Are you lost, damn
Thought I made the path clear enough
Told y'all this is all I wanted, I guess that your hearing sucks
Had to pick myself up on them days that I was tearing up
But that's okay cuz now a foreign whip is what I'm steering bruh
And I still got the black panther, don't get this shit twisted
Yeah I'm going to the top, I just handle my shit different
To elevate my wavelength is always the mission
This is my lyrical admittance

Keep It Cool
02:31
|
|||
The beat go boom, boom
Hop in the Jag and then go vroom, vroom
But this is not me mum's car
No video chat but I zoom, zoom
I'm the highest in the room
You can tell from the fumes
You about to meet your doom
BIG Jodye comin' thru, but Imma just keep it cool
Yeen know that's what I do
Taste a smoothie that I make, you'll say yessir
Just like the doobies I bake, it be pressure
Grab my essentials from off top my dresser
Walk out the door, I hope that it's good weather
Cuz Imma let my top down
Turn my sound up
And ride around
Smokin' sumn green, not brown
But this RAW paper match the interior
Ridin' superior
And I never feel inferior
I went thru that in my past life
I'm just tryna get some act right
Yeah the Kia cool, but the Jag tight
Foreign whip so I gotta keep the math right
I'm just tryna make my path look nice
Never have to act like
I'm cool like ice
Refreshing
Like a Peach, Please! on a hot summer's day
Call up lil shawty, do you wanna play
Just keep your composure
No need for exposure
Ain't no tint on this whip
Shit, push a button, won't be a roof either
But I'm still smokin' reefer
Not tryna be cool, this is just me bruh
Fasholy
It's Jodye
Beat fye so I keep it rolling
Try not to get mad at shit you ain't controlling
Cuz that's exactly how they get you to fold
Can't nothin' stop me from not one of my goals
Stayin lowkey until I can get on
But even then Imma stay cool, calm, and collected
Collecting bucks
Not giving a fuck
Sippin' on a Cucumber Bussdown with the pinky up
Huh, yuh
And then
The beat go boom, boom
Hop in the Jag and then go vroom, vroom
But this is not me mum's car
No video chat but I zoom, zoom
I'm the highest in the room
You can tell from the fumes
You about to meet your doom
BIG Jodye comin' thru, but Imma just keep it cool
Yeen know that's what I do

Damnit man, I had just got my shit back
Now the sheriff on the scene got FHP on dispatch
Are you okay sir, do we need to call an ambulance
What I just experienced me and the devil just had a dance
Fish tailed the whip, 360s, and then I hit the wall
Please don't take my life away, all I wanna do is ball
Recording Jaguar Jodye, then my mother gave me a call
Had to go give her a ride because her car was in a stall
Pack some smoothies up, then I hop in the Jag
It was a nice day, but I didn't let down the rag
Picked her up, dropped her off, now I'm on my way home
Playin' some beats, freestylin' off the dome
Then the van in front of me dips off to the right
Lo and behold a big ass bag in my sights
So I follow suit and swerve the same
Spinning into other lanes
Maneuvering to save my life because I'm tryna make some gains
Glad I hit nobody else, happy I wore my seatbelt
But the sadness that I feel inside my heart is one I've never felt
Every time I close my eyes, I can see that barrier
Grateful I ain't hit it dead on, that would've been scarier
But I got messages to deliver, call me the carrier
Sippin' on some water but I don't do the Perrier
My life is a movie, I don't need to catch a matinee
But the way this shit unfolds you would think it's one of Shakespeare's plays
But it's way too early to close the curtains
Day after the crash, my spirit is the only thing that's hurtin' me
I guess that coupe Jag wasn't reserved for me
But it's okay cuz I'm still flourishing

Total Loss
02:50
|

Just gonna smoke this shit off man, fuck
Seems like that's all I can do nowadays, shit
It's all good though
We gon' keep it movin
They say it cost to be the boss
Well then I'm bossin'
Spent a grip just to save my whip, in the end I still lost it
Fuck
Why it seem like I can't have shit
I'm just tryna make hits, but I get hit with bullshit
Damn
Nevermind them scams
Imma just lock myself in the booth and remind y'all who I am
In case y'all forgot
I'm a giant, so I stay hot
Too solid, I'll never rot
I'll always shoot my shot
Could you not
Stand so close to me
If you got bad vibes, please don't approach a G
Imma have to charge you some encroachment fees
Sippin' on a potion I made
With a portion of the duckets I saved
I'm just tryna be forever paid
These bars will be forever laid
That's the cards I put together and played
Full House
Tryna take a trip to San Francisco from the south
Maybe run into Larry, get him to cop a smoothie
Business brunches over champagne sips, and double doobies
Elevation is the goal, what's a loss if you can't flip it to a victory
I know whoever prayin' on my downfall is sick of me
I'm like them allergies in the summertime, it's hard to get rid of me
Don't matter what you do or say, I will not let it get to me
Feeling like DG Yola up in this bitch
I ain't gon' let up, shut up, or give up for shit
Belligerently resilient
Brilliantly resistant
Tryna break records so that I can breach the riches
I don't think that you get it
Cuz you might think I'm trippin'
So I just keep my thoughts to myself and go about my business
And that's a total loss for you

We ain't worried bout nothin' man, forreal
They say that it gets greater later
Well when the hell is that
Cuz a couple weeks after I crashed the Jag my dawg crashed his scat
But we can't move forward if wee keep lookin' back
So we gotta keep grindin' to make it stack
And get somethin' better
You can try and predict the weather
But Mother Nature may have different plans
So my main goal is to make my main thang these bands
Its a bittersweet feelin' but if you go thru it you'd understand
Love when they say I can't, cuz I know I can
I need to take a trip to Harlem and fuck with Dapper Dan
Because my style is so untouchable
Look with your eyes only
Twenty-six still eat lunchables
The nacho kind homie
The kid in me will never die
The current me could never lie
Might bend the truth a little but even that, I really despise
Look at me now, I used to flip burgers and fries
Ain't nothin' wrong with it
I just had a different mindset
You want all the accolades but did you grind yet
If I get set back, I always come back
When it come to my goals, I'm always ready for combat
A smile on yo face, them haters don't want that
So I make sure to show my dimple when I grin ear to ear
At first the trail was covered up, but now the path is crystal clear
Feels like I been thru everything, it ain't nothin' I fear
If you ain't bout elevation then what the fuck you doin' here
There might be trouble on the way but a solution's always near
Feels like I been thru everything, it ain't nothin' I fear
If you ain't bout elevation then what the fuck you doin' here
There might be trouble on the way but a solution's always near
Setback after setback, but I keep a forward movement
A lot of people talk, but few rarely do shit
That's my two cents
I may act goofy but don't treat me like a nuisance
That would be foolish
I'm tryna be lucrative in my efforts of lavish living
I'm luminous, if the darkness starts to creep, I have to kill it
Working on my physique
Hope I run into a freak
No contortionist
But if she's flexible, then that's fortunate
Whatever you do just make sure you can afford the shit
Cuz all talk with no action is not proportionate
I couldn't wait to take the XK8 tourin' bih
Now I gotta grind to get me another foreign whip
If I get set back, I always come back
When it come to my goals, I'm always ready for combat
A smile on yo face, them haters don't want that
So I make sure to show my dimple when I grin ear to ear
At first the trail was covered up, but now the path is crystal clear
Feels like I been thru everything, it ain't nothin' I fear
If you ain't bout elevation then what the fuck you doin' here
There might be trouble on the way but a solution's always near
Feels like I been thru everything, it ain't nothin' I fear
If you ain't bout elevation then what the fuck you doin' here
There might be trouble on the way but a solution's always near
All good man
Everything happens for a reason
We just gon keep grinding
Keep the motion
Keep going
That's all we know bih
