ARRIVAL Songtext
von Price

Uh, l-l-l, with the vibe
Here he comes with the vibes
Yeah, the originator
Often duplicated by those that can never truly demonstrate it
West, west y′all

I bet this tape here gone have all you rappers fallin' short
Through these illustrations I sent them back to the drawing board
Don′t lay next to your enemy please watch who you fallin' for
'Cause if you from the ghetto it′s certain pain that we′ve all endure

You playin' possum waitin′ around for a possibly
I wake up everyday and make moves, no choreography
See I got seeds I gotta feed
I got truths inside that the law could never get out of me
So fuck those who doubted me

And the ones that killed all my people for learning how to read
I'm a colored king you can′t let 'em change your perception
I was taught a loss you just gotta make it a lesson
I was taught mistakes is better than faking perfection, you dig?


If you don′t own nothin' don't make no suggestions
You probably ignore your GPS how you hate takin′ direction, you dig?
This for the West and all the greats in my section you dig
I still slide to Sugafree and E-40

Tryna find a love song to dedicate to my shorty
My lil brother Zay helped me count up my first $40
Now it′s my early 20's, instead I stacked plenty
First deal, made Interscope millions and only touched pennies

But that just made me up my level in business now I can′t settle
Low top Vans inside this Benz plus she with me to beat the devil
Tell my fans when they come to my shows bring rose pedals
That's how I know y′all really ready for my...

Arrival
Arrival
Survival
Revival
Suicidal
False idols (there's too much hate, start loving)
Yeah, we viral
It′s the arrival, yeah


1990 I arrived on the scene
My momma first child and she had me at 16
Now I'm touring overseas in and out of these shows
Getting 3-way calls from Pops he in and out of the hole

I'm tryna find a balance
Ain′t talkin′ Tik Tok dances when I say it's all a challenge
My cup runneth over at this point we talking gallons
I gotta make it to Fallon, gotta put on for Madeline??
It′s time to take off the gloves, yeah

Niggas wanna wait 'til they sending off your doves
And you a ancestor above
To say you great and show you love
And tomorrow ain′t promised
So if you know I'm the god of this rap then
Just be honest and tell me soon as you see me on

Arrival
Arrival
Survival
Revival
Suicidal
False idols (I done went through so much shit, man)
(Looking for God)
Yeah, we viral
It′s the arrival, yeah
(Until I found it in me)

Professor
I, I didn't wanna ask this infront of the, in front of the class, but
Why do, colored people kill each other?
