about
F.O.G. stands “Force of Gravity” which is the name of my label and live band and what I call my close group of friends. This song is dedicated to the support they’ve all shown me over the years through my musical and personal journeys. Specifically, in this song, I talked about how empowered I felt during a trip to Los Angeles with members of the band. The use of “gravity” as a metaphor represents how we “hold each other down” much like gravity holds us down to the earth, how gravity pulls objects towards each other.
lyrics
I was riding down the five in Jeep with the guys
Blue and peach colored skies, on a wave like Poseid
Blow the blunt like it’s a trumpet hoe kings have arrived
Feel like Simba, no marimba, it’s a vibe
Soy sauced up in this Asian silk, take a flick like a wrist
Bet I shoot my shot even if I risk a miss
Know my brodie’s got me off the rebound dish
Cause you know the best plays come from assists
In the trunk, this a bump like a cyst
Hold my city up like a fist
Me and Manny, Bre, and Brandon in the cut like a stitch
Know the present and our presence is a gift
And who I do it for
I do it cause its things my family can’t afford
On my momma, had to get my life into accord,
Like a Honda, I been tryna tap into the source
While I’m driving, treat the Scion like a super sport
Gary Vee had told me i ain’t gotta wait no more
That was ammo, grand piano, that shit hit a cord
I went toe to toe to get my foot into the door
And I wouldn’t be nowhere without the people next to me
They the ones that hold me down, that’s a force of gravity
F-O-G til I D-I-E
And our energy
Got the pull like a black hole actually
She attracted to me, I’m a force of gravity
F-O-G til I D-I-E
And I’m still with the squad even if it’s just me
This the hottest shit since before ventilation
Thank you all for welcoming me to your rotation
We should roll joint and have a smoke and celebration
Light it, puff it, then I pass it like it’s legislation
Me and my team going hard as the pavement
You and your team just look like replacements
Tell them niggas move around like gentrification
If we are in the building, then it got a renovation
And I wouldn’t be nowhere without the people next to me
They the ones that hold me down, that’s a force of gravity
F-O-G til I D-I-E
And our energy
Got the pull like a black hole actually
She attracted to me, I’m a force of gravity
F-O-G til I D-I-E
And I’m still with the squad even if it’s just me
Shout out to my pops that’s a FOG
Shout out Cuzzo Cel that’s a FOG
Shout out to my granny G that’s a FOG
Shout out to my moms that’s a FOG
Shout out Pa, that’s a FOG
Shout out Hennessey he a FOG
Shout out Javi he a FOG
Force of Gravity they some FOGs
Brodie KD that’s a FOG
Shout my shooter Bre she a FOG
Kotsu on the scene he a FOG
Everybody round me they some FOGs
