Fly
I started writing this song on a drive after getting my car out of the shop. I had just gotten a new transmission and all sort of other work done to it and it was driving like new.
I was listening to the beat and noticing how smooth it was riding which is how I wrote the opening line "slip through the gears like a slip and slide"
I worked on it more after the video shoot for “Not a Fan”, and wrote the first verse driving home from the shoot.
The second verse I wrote on a drive home from brunch in Dallas
It was only right the I wound up writing most of this song about cruising on one drive or another.
After a song like Not a Fan, I wanted to put out something that was more braggadocious
I also took some inspiration from a lowrider video I saw that featured a local artist's song , and thought it would be cool to make my own.
That song was called “13 Inches” by Immortal Soldierz ft. Yung Doobie. You can check out the video here - I was able to make it to that video shoot and it was epic! Immortal Soldierz are local legends here in Fort Worth.
We were able to get a lowrider for this video. I was actually already in touch with the owner of the car for the “Texican” video but he broke down the night before the shoot.
The concept for this video was originally intended for Texican along with the mural shots, but we pivoted last minute and shot just the murals
I was glad I finally got a chance to work with him. I wasn't expecting him to let me drive the car, he brought it up at the last minute and I couldn't say no!
I feel like I'm starting to get more comfortable creating an image for Sin, but my confidence on camera is still something I'm working on
The beat for this song is by Gettcy
Artwork is by Ekki
I went out to Music in Focus studio to have it recorded, mixed and mastered.
Dennis shot the video.
The featured car is Anthony Figeuroa's 63' Impala
Hope you enjoy the track!
Talk soon,
- Sin
Lyrics
Verse 1
Slip through the gears
like a slip and slide
So damn smooth
you’d think this bitch could fly
Weavin’ through traffic
like we intertwined
Finest thing breathin’
sittin’ by my side
I like em’ thick, pretty
sweet, with a mouthpiece
A little book smart
a little rowdy
Bass bumpin’
shakin’ all around me
You knew I was a dog
so don’t hound me
They see me on the stage
have a crush
See me in their face
catch a rush
Scream my rapper name
harmonizin’ when they cum
Call their girlfriends up
guess who I just fucked?
Pre-chorus
In the 8-1-G
bump my screw CD
Old school
Double As
in my MP3
Can’t stop bein’ petty
I ain’t out of spite
Up and down 35
like a cattle drive
Hook
Takeoff to the money
no GPS
My flight attendant fly
shootin’ BTS
Y’all should work more
maybe keke less
I’m too paid
for you to see me stress
I’m too paid
for you to see me stress
Verse 2
Mackin’ your girl in Spanish
over some Sade
Headed to brunch in Dallas
over at Soiree
Dolce and Gabbana
soak the Polo on my body
I got a lot to say
and none of it include I’m sorry
I’m startin’ from the top
so bitch know please don’t get me started
Million dollar smile
it cost a presidential pardon
Call the fire marshal
its too crowded in my pockets
Floatin’ through the city
like the topic of some gossip
Pre-chorus
In the 8-1-G
bump my screw CD
Old school
Double As
in my MP3
Can’t stop bein’ petty
I ain’t out of spite
Up and down 35
like a cattle drive
Hook
Takeoff to the money
no GPS
My flight attendant fly
shootin’ BTS
Y’all should work more
maybe keke less
I’m too paid
for you to see me stress
I’m too paid
for you to see me stress
