When in doubt, sometimes revisiting a single is the wisest course of action. Such was indeed the case for Toronto’s own TOBi, who delivered the uplifting single “Made Me Everything” in September. A triumphant anthem that found TOBi attempting to rewrite the negative narrative surrounding 2020, the track was a breath of fresh air for those who take comfort in optimism. Now, TOBi has come through to deliver a proper sequel, enlisting Maxo Kream for assistance. And with a lyricist as solid as Maxo on board, you knew TOBi wasn’t about to recycle bars from the first go-around.
“When you share laughs with somebody, you acquaintances,” he raps, closing out his opening verse. “But when you share tears, you family and that’s the way it is.” Once the chorus wraps, Maxo slides into the fold, sounding at ease over Alex Goose’s production. While he doesn’t stay for too long, his presence does provide “Pt 2” with additional gravitas, though it does feel like Maxo’s verse concludes as it was beginning to gain momentum. Either way, TOBi is more than capable of carrying the bulk of the weight, and while this sequel isn’t exactly a reinvention of its predecessor, it’s a solid expansion nonetheless.
TOBi – Made Me Everything Pt. 2 (ft. Maxo Kream)
[Intro]
Ayy
What you gave to me, oh, Lord
Your sweet love (Your sweet love)
Oh, baby
Then again I go down
I go down on my knees and I pray
Yes, Lord, thank you, Lord
I give thanks for life
I learned how to handle my business
Learned to shoo off the critics
Nigga, I need a larger percentage of all of these winnings
You talkin’ digits, now you got my attention
Watch my antennas lift
I be runnin’ clubs and buildings
We have no memberships
Cal is handsome, lifting weight off the shoulders of niggas
Boulders and stones, I was raised ’round copious gorillas
Yeah, holdin’ my own
They don’t own me ’cause I’m purest intentions
Did I mention that I’m in this bitch start to the finish?
Interesting exit, you the strong friend, I feel you, girl
That’s for real, don’t kill yourself tryna heal the world
‘Cause when you share lives with somebody, you acquaintances
But when you share tears, you family, and that’s the way it is
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shootin’ it lights out
Came out the mud, a diamond in rough
Just gimme a wipe down, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shinin’ bright until the lights turn out
Salute me when you see me, man
Salute me when you see me, goddamn
[Chorus]
The pain made me everything I am (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Took everything I got right up to the top
The pain made me everything I am (Ha, ha)
Took everything I got right up to the top
Ayy, you ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this, nah
You ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this, nah
Missed the water with that dirt, I had to get it out the mad
Raw finessing judge, shit, it is what it was, huh
The pain made me who I am, yeah
Serving that [?] like ham, yeah
And I made it all off grams, yeah
I ain’t ever have to do a scam
See all these straight pocket profits
Niggas pocket watchin’
Pussy poppin’, poppin’ pocket rockets
Bodies get to droppin’
Slang across the park like photoshop it
And I’m in love with my nina
Our relationship too toxic
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shootin’ it lights out
Came out the mud, a diamond in rough
Just gimme a wipe down, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shinin’ bright until the lights turn out
Salute me when you see me, man
Salute me when you see me, goddamn
[Chorus]
The pain made me everything I am (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Took everything I got right up to the top
The pain made me everything I am (Ha, ha)
Took everything I got right up to the top
Ayy, you ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this, nah
You ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this
You ain’t got the bandwidth to handle this, nah
[Verse 3]
Ooh, well spoken for a black man
That’s how you serve a compliment with your back hand
A routine stop, ain’t no talking back (Ha, ha)
Save your breath, keep your two cents and invest in a dash cam
Life been such a bitch
‘Cause the more you know, the less you know
We were playin’ chess, but you suck the score and checker store
No more X and O’s
Now we X-ing those who get too close
When they came to beef, they like vegetable from neck below
Picture money talkin’ where my decimals meet decibals
Right before I treat ’em like Mufasa’s death
That mean if I catch you niggas lyin’
I’ma let you go
That mean if I catch you niggas lyin’
I’ma let you go
It’s best you know
