Nice Em Up (feat. Dominik Omega)

from From the Woods by Jackson Whalan

lyrics

Even when the price is up
I nice em up cuz life is rough
I give the nicest nugs
To those who like to puff I brighten up the
Day cuz life is trife enough I give the tightest hugs
Righteous love shake the cipher up
And put your lighters up
Give you the jacket off of my back
Give you directions follow the map
You can just have it give you the bag
Up on the stage throwing the cash
Into the crowd like Rocafella
Make you a star interstellar
When it’s raining I give you an umbrella
Give a beat maker an a cappella
Put some change up in your jar
Nicing you up I’ll buy you a car
Doesn’t matter whoever you are
Buy you a drink when I’m up in the bar
Sticking together we all going far
Making sure that you’re up to par
Keeping it humble
Running through the jungle like a jaguar
413 that’s where I’m at
Keeping it generous never the whack
Nicing you up with a microphone if you’re here to rap
I nice it up with the illest lyricism
Keep it on beat
Ain’t going nowhere unless we all eat

Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
When your people gotta eat
And you got nothing to pay
Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
When your whole team grinding
Working hard every day
Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
When the people on the street
Ain’t got nowhere to stay
Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
Cuz if we stick together then we’ll never fade away

Damn these kids nice
From the vocals to the mix
See these locals kind of sick
From the bricks to the sticks
You's a hopeful won't you sit
Thought I told you we's legit
Catch us in the viper pit
0 1 2 3 fucking 6
We nice with generosity
Pipes we got velocity
Build and break bread
With you youths and spit philosophy
Iliad and The Odyssey
Honestly flip this homilies
Hubris that's mixed with modesty
Camaraderie and quantity
All love a prophecy
Hatred never stopping
We just keep slaying
Staying in pocket just like a wallaby
Fuck it youngin follow me
I'll open my neurology
To gift you with pathologies
Like spiritual geometry
Motown mixed mahogany
Titanium tip technology
Mash on mobs monstrously
With rhythm ripped responsibly
See the new democracy
Do this shit impossibly
Nice these fuckers up
It's standard operating policy

Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
When your people gotta eat
And you got nothing to pay
Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
When your whole team grinding
Working hard every day
Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
When the people on the street
Ain’t got nowhere to stay
Nice em up
Nice em up along the way
Cuz if we stick together then we’ll never fade away
