Idk 2 Cents

IDK has been on a murderous tear of late, and today finds the rapper continuing his streak with the release of his new banger “2 Cents.” Off the bat, it’s clear that he’s holding nothing back, queuing up a frantic orchestral sample evocative of Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favorite and going from there. The unique nature of the beat is the perfect backdrop for a rapper of IDK’s versatility, and he quickly rises to the task and catches an unexpected pocket.

“Cute face, nice ass, but she’s schemin’ on the low,” he raps. “I just cut to the chase, ask her do you want the pole?” In some ways, his flow and cadence are reminiscent of vintage Kanye West, a comparison doubly fueled by their shared fondness of bawdy lyricism. But that’s not to say IDK is devoid of individuality — quite the opposite, in fact. Some could even argue that he’s among the biggest boundary-pushers, consistently taking daring risks on a musical level. Even here, what might have been a cliche in lesser hands finds new life in IDK’s capable grasp.

Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Cute face, nice ass, but she’s schemin’ on the low
I just cut to the chase, ask her, “Do you want the pole?”
New friends? No way, they be schemin’ for the dough
Ring the bell, I open up, see they face and close the door

[Chorus]
I got my own two cents, if you know what I mean
I got my own two cents, if you know what I mean
I take the check over the trip, if you know what I mean
I pick the mortgage over rent, if you know what I mean (Yeah)

[Verse]
Me and all my niggas is winnin’ (Okay)
‘Member back when I could never say what I’m dealin’ (Alright)
Nowadays I text my lawyer, ask what the deal is (What the deal)
He text me back and say that shit is over a million, ayy
I might forget to reply (‘Ply)
Too many messages, most of ’em read (Read)
I’m a popular guy (Guy)
Why? IDK why (Why)
Always dividin’ the pie (The pie)
But slappin’ the hands of the ones
That show up to the party expecting to slice (Slice)
Please don’t be one of them guys (Guys)
Drinkin’ was never my vice (Nah)
But I done been celebratin’ so much
These days I’m seein’ twice (Twice)
Guess it’s one of them nights (Uh-huh)
I’m takin’ one of them flights (Uh-huh)
That let me recline to a bed (The bed)
Out when they cut off the lights (The lights)
Up when they cut on the mic, like (Like, like)
We bought the land and I hope you enjoy this shit (Ayy)
I walk in the party and everyone know my shit (Ayy)
You bought a line and you lookin’ all blown and shit (Right, right, right, right)
You ain’t on my list so you pointin’ is point-a-less

[Pre-Chorus]
Cute face, nice ass, but she’s schemin’ on the low
I just cut to the chase, ask her, “Do you want the pole?”
New friends? No way, they be schemin’ for the dough
Ring the bell, I open up, see they face and close the door

[Chorus]
I got my own two cents, if you know what I mean
I got my own two cents, if you know what I mean
I take the check over the trip, if you know what I mean
I pick the mortgage over rent, if you know what I mean
