Wish Me Well (Video)

[Phonte]

Wish me well or call me Ishmael

Croquettes and grits nigga this is that fishscale

This is that dispelled rumor that we not active

My man said Tay come and get your plaque and when I came and got it saw our names was misspelled

Pulled out the parking lot and almost fishtailed

[Pooh]

And almost fishtailed

Pulled out receipts to show my heart don't tell tales

Legends of the fall

I should be appalled but that's par for the course

LB we foot soldiers who don't march to the beat

Everybody's favorite let's keep it discreet

Two sets of footprints laid out at the beach

Avoiding waves

Here my dear let's listen to Marvin Gaye

[Phonte]

Let’s listen to MARVIN Gaye

On a gramophone playing Anna’s Song just to say

You’re coming on to me

And I want you horizontally pronto

So roll that fronto leaf like tonto tonto yeah that’s tonto meat

You have the right to act irresponsibly

Shouts to the ruler

I’m always indebted

Made my first record on an okay computer

Cause I saw where the radio was headed

And still said fuck ‘em like a nigga had a fetish

[Pooh]

Fuck'em like a nigga had a fetish

They should have been vetted

Everyone of y'all get some credit

Filled two sets of books and we never saw a check

What you need in life?

Is it money or respect?

When you got the power then you know you're getting both

The road less traveled then you know you're getting close

[Phonte]

And if they bought your ass a chain

That’s your budget getting choked

That’s a nope for me dawg not willing to do something strange

Be at the mercy of others pullin the puppet strings

I say it gladly I’m not Milton Bradley

So stop playin on my fuckin name

A long way from when I weighed a buck and change

Heavyweight shit

We just make shit to shake all the competition up like Clubber Lang

What a fuckin shame

[Pooh]

And another thang

Wish me well or call me Simon

To no one's surprise

It's looking like we morphing into Lord of the Flies

I just want a slice while maintaining my peace I don't need the whole pie

[Phonte]

Wish me well or call me Ishmael

I’m leaving here with something you can call me Denzel

Everybody know it’s LB nigga
