about
From the streets to success, California-based producer byJ. teams up with Philadelphia rapper lojii on their new single ‘$till’ - a raw and authentic narrative of resilience and hustle. With lush chords and a hypnotic bassline over dusty, laid-back drums - the nuanced production by byJ., reminiscent of classic Dilla beats, acts as the perfect backdrop for lojii to get reflective and tell his story of grit and determination, while keeping his integrity.
lyrics
pulled up from the bottom of the road
still got it for low
i paid the price, still picked up the dice
& i’m bout to let ‘em roll,
trust, i was already on my hustle
while the sun rose
is you riding or no?
ain’t nothing stopping the show
i’m on go
it’s hard to stop once i got the tempo
sometimes it feel like God throwing rocks
i been stoned
hotboxin’, someone pop the window
drop the top, i want the wind in my fro
turn it up a notch,
i want to feel it in my soul
riding dirty, speakers knocking En Vogue
my jawn singin’ “hold on” & “don’t let go”
on the hustle while the sun rose
kept it low,
pulled up from the bottom of the road
still got it for low
i paid the price, still picked up the dice
&i’m bout to let ‘em roll,
trust, i was already on my hustle
while the sun rose
is you riding or no?
ain’t nothing stopping the show
i’m on go
it’s hard to stop once i got the tempo
how i’m goin' fall off?
i put myself on
whole lot of quiet numbers in my cellphone,
i’m still alive,
guess you ain’t got the memo
i been wrong before
i took an L, so?
you goin' learn sometimes
that’s just how it goes
my life is real, what should i pretend for?
you acting like an opp,
tell me what are friends for?
i split the pie,
break bread with the homies
we got every slice looking like its Kimbo
pockets real brolic, getting swole on 'em
stomping blocks in my beef n brocc Timbos
law yelling in they walkie talkie “10-4!
they fit the description!
get 'em, there they go!”
we dip up the alley
hit a drift on em,
in a hoop with the 5% tints on it
pulled up from the bottom of the road
still got it for low
i paid the price, still picked up the dice
&i’m bout to let ‘em roll,
trust, i was already on my hustle
while the sun rose
is you riding or no?
ain’t nothing stopping the show
i’m on go
