about

Thank you, Jimmy Edgar, for this gift of a track! We made this song on September 4, 2018, and now the whole world can hear it. Jimmy's got an imagination for beats that sound like nothing else you've heard before. I had the UGK song "Country Star" on my mind when we made this song.

lyrics

Been putting Polo on my waistline
Boy, this ain't the first time
And it sure ain't the last time
Like talk a little shit, it’s a pastime
It’s just jokes; calm down
You know, high blood pressure
Been running thru your motherfuckin bloodline,
Call mami, and I beat it like the drumline
We can meet at Umami for fries, like anytime
I feel alive; you would think I'm on E
Throw guns away, disrupt the NRA
I know you heard it’s Edgar on the beat
And the mix, I'm bout to call my bitch
And play the track, jot the feedback
I like her comments; she be honest
I play Prince like I’m an auntie
Ooh, she lovely, I’m Stevie Wonder
I identity with Mario because
the nigga is a working-class plumber
Heard of Whodini from my mama
Too busy to be in your drama
Bitch, I'm looking lush like a llama
Smooth booty like I'm out the sauna
My yellabone got skin tone like jaundice

I’m a star, and it shows
Been with it, been bold
Still with it, ten toes in it
Don’t give a fuck what y’all on
Never down with the fraud
Bitch, you ain’t family, ain’t squad
Still with it, ten toes in it
Don’t give a fuck what y’all on

Gift of gab, been talking shit for many moons
Independent, lost count of all the sentences
I penned since the very beginning
Do it like no other could ever do or did it
Now I’m in the city where they killed Biggie
But I’m from the H, bred on UGK
Old head, I go fed, there’s no debating
Never had to pay to get in The FADER
Yeah, I'm faded, room spinning, do feel it
Drinking 80 proof, 1800 drippin in me
Finna heat the city up for yet another summer
Bout to gallop ‘round the globe like the roadrunner
But ain’t no cartoon, hoe
Ooh, I leave it wetter than a pool or a typhoon
Can’t get my room number, ooh
Ain’t here to just do numbers
Need respect and a check
Fuck what you heard
Whole crew full of the goons and the nerds
Whole Foods on my block, its a shame
New neighbors don't even wanna know my name

I’m a star, and it shows
Been with it, been bold
Still with it, ten toes in it
Don’t give a fuck what y’all on
Never down with the fraud
Bitch, you ain’t family, ain’t squad
Still with it, ten toes in it
Don’t give a fuck what y’all on

about

Fat Tony Houston, Texas

No artist personifies the DIY culture of both underground hip-hop and Houston as perfectly as Fat Tony, who stormed through the indie-rap gates more than a decade ago. He’s found himself as an artist among fellow Houstonians who mix inward-looking pathos with storytelling and a swagger all their own—from Devin the Dude to Scarface—as well as like-minded iconoclasts such as Prince. ... more
