20 of the Best Lyrics From GoldLink’s ‘At What Cost’ Project

"Told my momma I'ma be somebody, but she told me to go to church everyday/I'm makin' things work everyday/I'm gettin' closer to food that's booster flow/I'm wakin' everybody up that's rooster flow/And you ain't I you just booty, moe/You ain't fly, you just Rufio" - Ciscero

"I was out Landover, me and all, then all and them/Lil; model tryna know way way back when/She ain't never give me play, so I played her friend/Then she wanna try to holla then I played to win/Then the home girl brother tried to fight me/I had to have the nigga kiss the bottom of my Nikes"

"I got a light-skinned bitch who look like Beige Loaf/And she fight and fuck me in the same clothes/But when I put that daddy, baby daddy, papa stroke/She curl her toes and close her eyes/I finish up, she adios" - GoldLink

"You smell like the summatime, finer than a glass of wine/You know that I speak in code, they don't have to ever know/Keep it on the hush, hush keep it on the DM/You slide down a poll, then I'm slidin' down you TM/They don't know no details, do you fine like detail/I'ma blow your back out and your boyfriend get no details" - GoldLink

"I be in that Rover with cannabis, California/And I be the prince of my city, bitch, where my Apollonia?/Been a poet that's been performin' for deaf ears/Raf Simmons my sweat suit, hear me loud clear/Back to back in a matte black, when I fuck and I call her back/When I'm stuck 'cause I think she left one of her glass slippers" - Wale

"I haven't seen you seen you since the summatime/But you, I used to think about you all the time/Back when I was still tryna make you mine/These days you don't even know me/These days you don't even phone me/It's a love crime, it's a love crime" - Radiant Children

"Coming from where we're from, ain't nothing easy/So no matter where I go, around the world/It's back to D.C/Whenever I can't, they don't understand/If you ain't for these streets/Said if you ain't for these streets, well/You probably wouldn't agree" - Mya

"You called m on my phone last night/And you told m send the homies home that night/And you said nobody was invited/And you rally didn't make yourself exciting/Then you said you're Lucy Lucy with a kissing face/Then I said, well I don't know no fucking Lucy, baby" - GoldLink

"She see money all around me, I look like I'm the man, yeah/But I was down and out like last week,tell me where have you been?/You came out of hiding, girl, don't act like I'm your man/You just a fan, you don't hold rank" - Brent Faiyaz

"Bet against a real ass nigga with a sick ass mouth and a slick ass flow/Catch-a-bullet-'round-me-nigga and a player/When I'm comin' for the kitty, I'm a fool, goddamn/Do it for my niggas in the ghost right there/Do it for my niggas in the ghost right now/Niggas got killed for the boy livin' dreams in the hills/And it wasn't for the boy right now" - GoldLink

"Bet you wanna fuck me now, uh/Bet you wanna love me down, uh/Girl, you can't tie me down like Ray J said/But know I'm down, uh/Freaky Deaky show me somethin', uh/Shake it like you owe me somethin', uh/Pushin' on the pussy like a button/Came four times, fifth time you gushin'" - GoldLink

"Hey, nice to meet, I’m Young Jefe, who you be?/Got my piece in Southeast, got her clappin' to this beat/She invite me to her crib, I walk in, she see my heat/She said, "But I live in the hills," bitch, that’s just the way I sleep/Stop that madness, I'm a savage, in traffic with MAC 11’s/Baddest bitch and she Spanish, I fly her to Calabasas" - Shy Glizzy

"I'm geekin', uh huh I'm on it, don't look at me like you want it, no/Tell 'em that we ain't stuntin', in fourth down we ain't puntin' it/King of District of Columbia, can't come here without a permit/This shit really a jungle, gorillas and anacondas" - Shy Glizzy

"Them choppers, they come supersizin', took a couple lives/I got a tear drop on my face but I will never cry/And she can't come around if she not down for the ride/Sippin' too much lean, my stomach up another size/Ain't into all the hype 'cause niggas steal too many lives/And I know he don't want beef 'cause he wanna stay alive" - Lil Dude

"Goddamn, young lean straight from the slums runnin' shit here/You don't know what I been through for us to start gunnin' round here/Main bitch always stressin', talkin' 'bout, "Why you never 'round here?"/If a nigga owe me money, put it in a bullet, aim it right there" - GoldLink

"Leggin' with the clip, we dump it off like V. Radmanović/Sorry homie, you know we not friends, it's all for politics/Politics, never get to see who really runnin' shit/Now you know who runnin' shit, you rappers on punishment/Poppa doc niggas they be lyin' on they brother dick/Everybody scared of Lil' Linky, man it's evident"

"He ain't rap this hard in a long time/U-Street, poppin' off, Vita do's and nines/Muslim homies always sayin' wallahi to the guys/All my life been addicted to the power, ain't gon' lie, yo/Ain't no fear, I'm never well and put a shell up in yo/Ain't no tellin' when we do it, we just shoot and get ya"

"Get it girl, hit her with the phrase, still stuck in my ways/Hit her both ways as her main nigga and a sidekick/Lil' rider, fuck me like a side chick/She down like a Northface with some visors/Bank credit card scammin' for deposits/And when I do, I do my thing, she never stop me" - GoldLink

"I'ma die but you remember the guy/From sellin' grams the size of Gamecube memory card/Yeah yeah, I got a problem with your ex and he know/That if he hit your phone again, I gotta shoot with the 4/'Fore I hit a nigga crazy, leavin' brains on the floor/That's the, 'Yeah, keep it movin'' like I'm hittin' a hoe" - GoldLink

"Hold my black nina in the sky shoot it high/Maybe hit an angel watch it fall down, fam/Free the whole posse, free the guys/All my life been addicted to the pussy that's my vice, yeah/Drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' all my problems/I don't need nobody, I just need my bottle that's for certain"
