The second verse hit different though. I had no idea X and joey were that close. The fact that he mentioned Steelo really meant that X was also big in his life. Long live joey!
x spoke to alot of people n neva said nun bout it like erykah badu, t pain, jermaine dupri n usher, diddy, j cole, the weeknd, and prolly more. i still think about that kendrick cosign wen he dropped 17 n wonder if they ever spoke
@@biggroceriers7285 It was easily noticeable that X purpose was to touch people. He literally texted every person that was into his music even the same UA-camrs who reacted to his music, from smallest to biggest, shared even conversations, played games with some and such as if they were regular people and not famous at all. He truly just wanted to have a mark to other people so no wonder that he just tried to connect as much people as possible and give them something unique that you will rarely get from people nowadays. And talking about Kendrick - X once did a livestream on IG and thanked publicly Kendrick and gave an impression that they talked privately also since he wished his family, kids wealth, etc. Which is wholesome.
I had the biggest smile on my face listening to this. It feels good to hear Joey spitting like this again. RIP X and Steelo. Gone but never ever forgotten
Fcuking hell yes'sir! NY always been the soul of real hip hop. Nas, Pun, Gangstarr, Joey, ATCQ, wu-tang, Mobb Deep, Rakim... etc etc and that's just a few names. Hell, The whole New Jack Swing era... Bro I feel you. 💯
Statik always making fire soulful vibes with his beats!!! super underrated! Much respect and love to Joey for making some real Hip-Hop!!!! salute ✌🏼🎤🙏🏻💎

This feels like authentic Joey and where he expresses himself the best. When I first heard this I thought it was an old track that I had never discovered.
This shit got me feeling back in 2011 ima year older than my nigga Joey but I remember being big on pro era back then my nigga u got LOVE ON THE WEST SIDE. This coming from an og in these la streets Peace and love rip steezy
Finally new music. Let’s spread this far and wide so people know he’s back and see’s the support he deserves. Also, RIP X! So nice to see him write a verse dedicated to that young legend who influenced so many. #LLJ
Even tho this is a non commercial attempt this song might still be a hit shit sounds better than the snippet I’m tired of Joey being underrated it would be great for New York and hiphop the city could use someone like him ITS TIME
this joint is super fire and real, its one thing being a fan its another listening to another brother with your same skin color and talking about real life that you have been through SALUTE KING!!!!!!
The new album already a classic gtfoh🔥🔥🔥💯 I can feel it joey never disappoints Your music always comforted me when I had no feeling of hope that 2moro will be a brighter day
THANK GOD. No annoying trap snare drilling my ears till they are bleeding. Nice, smooth kick and snare, almost jazzy. The whole track reminds me of something from Black Thought. Great stuff.
Joey is no cap chill asf. I met him while he was shooting an episode of Mr. Robot. I was a child back then and I didn’t appreciate music like I do now. Keep goin my man

[Intro]
Yeah (Statik Selektah)
[Verse 1]
Time waits for no man, life is but a two-step slow jam
Dancin' with the devil, tryin' not to lose my balance
Look, God blessed the kid many talents, he was chosen
It's why you see him livin' in the moment
Every second, gotta own it
'Cause you never know when could be your last
Time breathin', now you bleedin' from the gun blast
And you thinkin' 'bout the past, see your whole life in a flash
Best friends lowerin' your casket, now your son a bastard
Pressure on his shoulders make 'em gotta grow faster
Wherе I'm from, the stories nevеr end with no happy ever afters (Uh)
Just broken families forced to start new chapters
A natural disaster, the cycle, in a loop
Are we caught up in a rapture?
Not to mention all the other factors
Government agendas against rappers
They wanna see us either dead or captured
[Chorus]
So I hold my head high 'til they put me below
Best know 'til the day I die I'ma keep my heat close
This is for my niggas who took a day to relax
Huggin' their block but the block ain't hug 'em back
So we hold our head high 'til they put us below
Best know 'til the day we die we gon' keep my heat close
This is for my niggas who took a day to relax
Huggin' the block but the block ain't hug us back
[Verse 2]
Took a trip to Miami that March (Uh)
Couple weeks right before my daughter got born (Uh)
To meet up with a kid by the name of X
Had to go to him 'cause he was on house arrest, nonetheless
Our first time meetin' we was always on the FaceTime
He offered me his place to stay, "Thank you, but I decline"
First impression in my mind, "Now that's a stand-up nigga
Someone I could call a friend of mine and that's tough, nigga"
Shit, I could talk about any type of stuff with him
Never gave a fuck about who didn't fuck with him
See, that's my nigga, I had to keep it a buck with him
When he played me his album, I told him what he was missin'
A lot of niggas woulda took that shit different, woulda thought that I was dissin'
Still, we found this beat and started riffin'
Shit had me reminiscin', had me thinkin' 'bout Steelo
Now that I can see his vision
[Chorus]
So I hold my head high 'til they put me below
Best know 'til the day I die I'ma keep my heat close
This is for my niggas who took a day to relax
Huggin' their block but the block ain't hug 'em back
So we hold our head high 'til they put us below
Best know 'til the day we die we gon' keep my heat close
This is for my niggas who took a day to relax
Huggin' the block but the block ain't hug us back
thanks bro ✌

Heavy with the On & On vibes. This seems like a spiritual successor to that track
Bout time he drops this!! Repeated that freestyle for the longest 🔥🔥

I Remember This Snippet
I've Been Waiting For The Song Since And It Didn't Disappoint!!!. 🔥🔥🔥
R.I.P. X and STEELO, what a song
Joey Bada$$ is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.
And I'll do a song with him one day, gotta pay respects to the legend
THANK GOD.
