Erick The Architect - Cashmere Tears Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know I hold it down, but I think, I'm like, "Who's backin' me?"
Oldheads told me, "Go 'head, go get that plaque for me"
I brought it home 'cause only gold my niggas see? Luxury
It's that real, someone that real, you gotta feel is G
True indeed, we all been so sleep, the hunger's famine
Diagnosed and pre-determined, but body's still unexamined
Won't bribe me, dog, I been damaged
Been bright through misunderstanded (Let's go)
Put these words on my life, on this planet, raisin' standards
Know my momma watchin' too
Know my uncle watchin' too
How I ever fail myself when I ain't give no option to?
Watch mе future-proof, plant you you like I'm Juventud
So whеn I'm in the stu' I treat these moments like these groupies do
Money clips from Louis too, expensive shit has been my mood
Want them Prada loafers still despite what we been goin' through
Sober too, but Veuve is in the bucket like a '62
It's que sera sera, huh
This ain't life you get to choose, don't get to choose

[Chorus]
We more than dangerous
This is not the chip, but we ball the same
Fathered game
Girl, just take a sip, she drinkin' Kool-Aid
Icy chains
Velvet ropes I skip, witness all the fame
These my cashmere tears (Uh)
To a ball of flame
These my cashmere tears
Love don't cost a thang
These my cashmere tears
Runnin' through this rain
These my cashmere tears
There's more life to gain
These my cashmere tears
To a ball of flame
[Verse 2]
This a dissertation, homie, freedom for your ears
Shed my heart so much, I make mine feel like it was theirs
As it may, Jesus laid, I prayed for peace, what that could be?
Rappin' like I'm from New York, dressin' like I'm Japanese (Let's go)
They don't want this masterpiece, they don't want no casualties
Value store to D&G, Hyperactive, then Supreme
Adolescence I'm still buildin', tryna see them Florida keys
Tryna see what "lavish" means, I had logos on my jeans
Was in Brooklyn way before the Nets had came to build regime
And I'm so New York, you know the Knicks have always been my team
I was here before the Starbucks lines, they got us when they gentrified
They been disguised, another lost family 'cause the rent was high
Coney Isle, Staten Isle, Manhattan, backin' down
Kings County, Queens got it
Crown Heights to 'Bush bound
Tribeca my sector, Bed-Stuy to Prospect
Fort Greene, there's more cream from Bushwick to Throg's Neck

[Interlude]
I'm just tryna figure out how New York niggas don't have fear in they heart
I was standin' at the light, waitin' for the light to turn so I can, you know, walk, the crosswalk
And them New York niggas never waited for the light, they just walked straight into, like, not like they walked straight into traffic
But it was definitely a green light
And there was definitely cars comin' from a distance, but they all knew as collective to just walk
[Verse 3]
135th, 125th
Harlem shit, Dyckman lit
Don't play with the cash, there's plenty more to get
Cops don't come 'round here
That's why my niggas out in Brownsville cryin' cashmere tears
Let's get flee, cop some Hennessy
It's very scary, demon time
Hell's Kitchen, SoHo in itinerary, redefined
It's fair, we prepared when they scared, they ain't ready
We don't pay the fare, but shoot the fair on the ferry
Got some plans for the fetti, grab some papers from the deli
A nigga New York City like Paid In Full and Belly
Downtown, chop it up, bagel breath match the coffee
Lower East, if there's beef, rest assured we kill 'em softly
Get 'em off me
Sayin' somethin' in the water make us great
Best thing is you don't have to be from NY to relate
Home of Biggie Smalls, home of Larry David
Home of Basquiat's creations
Yellow cabs, Wall Street, don't forget my chopped cheese, hey

[Chorus]
We more than dangerous
This is not the chip, but we ball the same
Fathered game
Girl, just take a sip, she drinkin' Kool-Aid
Icy chains
Velvet ropes I skip, witness all the fame
These my cashmere tears (Uh)
To a ball of flame
These my cashmere tears
Love don't cost a thang
These my cashmere tears
Runnin' through this rain
These my cashmere tears
There's more life to gain
These my cashmere tears
To a ball of flame
