Silk...
masego Lyrics

I woke up like there's nothin' they could do with me
I feel unstoppable and can't be held back by anyone.

Went to sleep half drunk, still got the juice in me
I am still full of energy and charisma despite being slightly intoxicated.

Usually wouldn't televise but they glued to me
Normally, I wouldn't draw so much attention to myself, but people are captivated by my presence.

Truthfully, nothin' come new to me
I am experienced and have seen it all before.

Nothin' feel like news to me
Everything seems ordinary and unremarkable to me.

Someone said I'm underrated, that was news to me
I wasn't aware that some think I am underrated.

'Cause the fam' eat good and sleep beautifully
My family is well provided for and live a comfortable life.

If you friendin', boy, better then prove it to me
If you want to be my friend, you need to show me that you are trustworthy and loyal.

Bring nothin' to the table, you ain't choosin' a seat
If you have nothing to offer, you are not welcome to be a part of my life.

Take tequila with a mixer if ya needed it sweet
If you want your tequila to taste sweeter, mix it with something else.

Just dial 1-800 and say you know me
If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact me.

Humble flex, yeah, I know but they needed to see
I am proud of my accomplishments, but I try to remain humble and down-to-earth.

I ain't one of these other brother's that they tryin' to be
I am not like other people who try to imitate or copy others.

Imitation or flattery, baby, what sound better?
Is it better to be imitated or flattered?

Like gettin' a new Chanel with the off-brand leather
Receiving compliments that sound good but lack substance.

I might get the old Chanel with the cashmere sweater
I prefer quality over flashy new things.

Had to roll up the sleeves so the drip drop better
I had to put in work to improve and show off my style.

Even in gridlock, don't shit stop
Even when things are difficult, I keep pushing forward.

Any time I spin out, my lowest was just a pit stop
When I have setbacks, they are only temporary pauses in my journey towards success.

They can say they built for the journey until they flip-flop
Many people claim to be able to handle challenges, but they often give up when things get tough.

The long road ain't build for us all, it's a distance
Not everyone is capable of enduring the long and difficult journey to success.

A lot of man ain't built for the war, it's a mismatch
Many people are not equipped to handle the struggles and conflicts of life.

A war that they rage on us all, show resistance
Life is a constant battle, but we must resist the forces that seek to bring us down.

Maybe my intentions were pure
I may have had good intentions.

But the way the boy cook up, they ain't servin' this raw
The way I create things is unique and can't be duplicated by others.

Overlooked me, underrated, overtook me
Others didn't think much of me, but I achieved success despite their opinions.

All the patience, had enough
I had to be patient, but I eventually reached my goals.

Humble maybe, mama raised me
I try to stay humble as it was instilled in me by my mother.

Jah, protect me, lift me up
God, protect and guide me on my journey.

Angels blessed me, know they hear me, know they hear me
I believe that angels are looking out for me and listening to me.

Got enough
I have all that I need.

Know they feel me, know they need me, know they see me
I believe that others can feel my presence and recognize my worth.

Can't give up
I refuse to give up on my dreams.

Fuck the pressure, dealt with pressure, beat the pressure
I faced and conquered the pressure and challenges in my life.

In-out the rough
I've faced hardships and difficulties, but I kept going through them.

Got the love
I am surrounded by love and support.

I feel like silk
I feel smooth, confident, and attractive.

Smooth, sexy, handsome, classy
I embody these qualities.

Don't let them phase me when
I won't let others get to me.

I feel like me (silky, yeah)
I feel like my authentic self, confident and self-assured.

Can I talk my shit, baby? (speak to me)
Can I express myself fully and honestly?

I go by many names (oh)
I have different personas and identities depending on the situation.

But I would love nothin' more
I want nothing more than this.

Than to introduce someone equally as stupendous (yeah)
I want to showcase other talented and remarkable people.

Yeah, on my mama, on my hood
I swear it on my mother and my community.

I look fly, I look good
I am fashionable and attractive.

And I been sippin' on my tea, stoned
I have been drinking tea and relaxing.

Just touched down in London Heathrow (why?)
I arrived in London, but it's not clear why I am there.

Because of the women, 'cause of the thrift stores
Perhaps I am there to meet women or shop at thrift stores.

Mix that with the designer
I mix affordable clothing with high-end designer pieces.

And I'm her desire
I am the object of someone's romantic interest.

GQ's callin' me
GQ magazine has taken notice of me and wants to feature me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, like 2016
This is a reminiscent statement, likening it to 2016, a successful year for Masego.

They wasn't hittin' me up, they wasn't givin' the green
In the past, people didn't take notice or show interest in him or his work.

I am M-A-S-E-G (what else?)-O
This is his stage name, which he proudly owns and identifies with.

And what you feel like, baby?
How are you feeling right now?
