Saba Still

Saba and Smino have been tapped in for a while now. The two have numerous tracks together, be it features, appearances on each other’s projects, or appearing as guests on compilation albums. They even had a brief stint as a group called Ghetto Sage, comprised of Saba, Smino, and longtime friend and Chicago native Noname. This time, Saba threw singer/songwriter (and one of the best hook layers in the game) 6LACK in the mix.

The sonics and thought put into conceptualizing music is strikingly similar between Saba and Smino, with their individuality and uniqueness being the most noted resemblance. Add in 6LACK, who’s soulful yet understated tonality meshes incredibly well with both artists, and the result is an almost hypnotically poetic journal entry about their current lives. Wordy and witty, Saba twists lyrics in knots that hold themes together without entangling the topic. Smino bends language at will, utilizing his accent and vocal range to adhere to the tone of the track and provide his own flair.

“Still” touches on the progress that comes with taking your time. As the title alludes to, stillness can be a means of analysis, opening your eyes to things you may not see in constant and perpetual motion. In contrast, the artists speak on things that continue to stay in place as they move. They make it known that they aren’t always passing things by just because they’re continuously moving, and these things matter in the grand scheme while they learn and experience what the world has to offer.

Lyrics

[Chorus: 6LACK]
Still missin’ my lady, still smokin’ like crazy
Still can’t believe this is all real
Still spinnin’ for DMs
Still lovin’ these hoes, I still don’t really need them
I’m still, our life is like a film, set in a different realm
I’m still tryna decide how I feel
I’m still rough as a rider, I’m still right here beside you
I’m still tryna find a beat to-
[Verse 1: Saba]
She say “I gotta be still, yeah, I gotta be still”
Bare a cross right ’cause when life goin’ right then they might wanna re-deal
I say “I wanna be here”, but I got moves to make
There’s so many people workin’ for me nowadays
That I don’t even know who I pay, okay
I’m still right here beside you, gettin’ sick of the costume
What’s the real world?
When you with me, you take off your cool
Admittedly, yeah, I do too
I know I’m more illusive, but her grip never get looser
And that’s why I don’t wan’ lose her
Ridin’ ’round two-ninety, windows down
I get reminded to slow down
I get a message, we up now
She without [?]
I try to be profound, but you would get lost for me
I had to leave and put it on hold until you across for me again

[Chorus: 6LACK]
Still missin’ my lady, still smokin’ like crazy
Still can’t believe this is all real
Still spinnin’ for DMs
Still lovin’ these hoes, I still don’t really need them
I’m still, our life is like a film, set in a different realm
I’m still tryna decide how I feel
I’m still rough as a rider, I’m still right here beside you
I’m still tryna find a beat to kill
[Bridge: Smino]
High (High-high-high), high (High)
High (Just as still)
High (High-high-high), high (High)
High (Just as still)
High (High-high-high), high (High)
Uh-uh-uh, mm-mm
[Verse 2: Smino]
I hope you still got, hope you still got
And you still got my hoodie
Still have my car, still have my wallet
Still in that pocket, hope you don’t call it
Pullin’ my card, still where your momma live
Right off Parker road it’s-
Still be callin’ to me, she love me still
Got a bond still, so what’s fuckin’ real?
Discussion still, if there’s somethin’ still
Love a women still, got my gun inside of the function
Still-iam Shakespeare, no eraser, I wrote this verse in stone
Sculped the horoscope, I’m morse code, still tapped in with your hoe (With your hoe)
Smino touch the soul (Soul)
I change actually when I’m in the booth
I eat it like baba ghanoush
Right by the lanes and right by the goose
I’m really just still into you

[Chorus: 6LACK]
Still missin’ my lady, still smokin’ like crazy
Still can’t believe this is all real
Still spinnin’ for DMs
Still lovin’ these hoes, I still don’t really need them
I’m still, our life is like a film, set in a different realm
I’m still tryna decide how I feel
I’m still rough as a rider, I’m still right here beside you
I’m still tryna find a beat to kill
[Outro]
My mother’s house, the glue that kept the family together
There’s nothin’ like y’all
People moved out of the city and the compact got vacated
We were always loved more than …
Half an hour from the house [?]
