11 Songs On Repeat ATM 3/22/17
As an aspiring musician, I’m the biggest fan there is. I’m always on the move trying to find the next song I’m going to fall in love with. It’s been a while since I’ve posted songs I’ve been listening to on repeat. There’s been 3 projects in rotation for the past two months, and one of them came out last weekend. They are American Teen by Khalid, HNDRXX by Future, and More Life by Drake.
Khalid is an amazing talent, his music reminds me of times I yearn for. The crazy part is he’s only 19. American Teen is a very nostalgic listen. Future said HNDRXX was the album he’s always wanted to make and luckily for me, that’s the album I’ve always wanted to hear. In an interview, he said he had a bunch of songs that sounded like I Be U off of his 2014 album, Honest. I could be making that tidbit of information up, but I’m confident I heard it somewhere, I just don’t know where. Initial impression of More Life is it is a bit scattered, but there are of course some really good cuts. Jahkoy, Mike We$t, and Mac Mase make it on this weeks songs I have on repeat ATM. Oh, and also, shoutout Tatiana Manaois, if you ever read this, just know I'm in love with your voice. Like in love, in love.
Anyways, check out the 11 songs I have on repeat ATM and leave a comment to let me know what you think!
“You can get addicted to a certain sadness
... behind the madness
I remember nights
Sleeping on the mattress
Now I got biz all across the atlas
Honeys on my line tryna holla back but
What was you doing when I holla’d at ya...”
“I’m tryna ball this year
I want it all this year
Me and my dogs this year
They didn’t think I could do it but I came up
I just put in all that work and I aint change up...”
“Long nights of the wake up
New check, fuck my life up
Anytime I’m in a new city
I prefer to do light drugs
Police try to hit the tour bus
Try and fuck a nigga life up
You can fuck a nigga life up
By trying to fuck a nigga wife once...”
“I’m mad, I’m mad, you know that I’m mad
Tipped up the scale, now pullin’ off to Dubai
I’m mad, I’m mad, you know that I’m mad
Where is the love tonight? Where is the drugs tonight?
I need that shit right away
I just need fresh air right away
I just need fresh air right away
I’ma need fresh air
I’ma need fresh air
I need to get out of my home
It’s been too long...”
“Is that you, Ms. Sagittarius? Tell me what a Sagittarius do
You only eat vegetarian food, in the backseat of the Maybach
You don’t speak English: immigration, promise I won’t leave you waiting
Catch a Uber to the dealership, girl you gon’ pick up your new registration...”
“But I’ll keep your number saved
’Cause I hope one day you’ll get the sense to call me
I’m hoping that you’ll say
You’re missing me the way I’m missing you
So I’ll keep your number saved
’Cause I hope one day I’ll get the pride to call you
To tell you that no one else
Is gonna hold you down the way that I do...”
“Can you feel this energy?
This is the start of something great
We might... be a little late... hey
Hey, but at least we’re on our way
You got too much time to waste
Focusing on what people say
They might not like that we’ve arrived
But we’re here to stay...”
“My top down for the moonlight
I’m just tryna get the mood right
Champagne for desert,
Yea my lifestyle too nice...”
“Tryna stay light on my toes
Just ran a light in a Rolls
Told me I’m lookin’ exhausted
You hit it right on the nose
I’m tired of all of these niggas
I’m tired of all of these hoes
Worried ‘bout takin’ my lane
They ain’t even got on the road
They turn they back and they leave you
They gon’ be back when they need you
I practice good over evil...”
“I cannot tell who is my friend
I need distance between me and them
Gonna have to teach me how to love you again
God knows I’m trying
God knows I’m trying for you
God knows I’m trying...”
“Time to shake the dice, time to change the li-i-ight
No more 9 to 5, autopilot dri-i-ive
Used to work the fries, now we supersi-i-ize
We go suit and tie, we gon’ touch the sky-y-y
We so certified, we so certifi-i-ied
Fuck you haters still, that’s an F-Y-I-I-I
They gon’ bang this here all summerti-i-ime
Watch out for me, I’m about to glow...”
