Ace Hood has remained consistent for years now, never failing to maintain his reputation as a fan-favourite — especially on this very website. Today, the Florida rapper has decided to gift said fans with a three-song tape, written and recorded during the ongoing pandemic should the topical lyrics be any indication. And while all three songs have merit, there’s something noteworthy about the introductory track Tap’n,” which finds Hood reflecting on the sociopolitical dangers that seem to be lingering throughout U.S. society.
“They want the people to panic, they want our people advantage,” he raps, as the Ism-produced instrumental intensifies around him. “Come in this bitch like I’m ready to die but I’m ready to live, I done loaded the cannon / I can’t imagine if this n***a Trump get elected again, he gon’ do damage.” While politicized hip-hop can be off-putting to some, the passion within Hood’s reflections add a certain bite to his bars — one that should prove palatable to even those wary of such territory.
Ace Hood – Tap’n (prod. ISM)
Lyrics
[Intro]
I-I-ISM
[Chorus]
Transitionin’ to your inner sense
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tappin’ in)
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tap)
Holy shit, it’s him again (Rah!)
Hate to see a nigga win (Yah!)
Pull up, bigger body Benz (Woo!)
Super sexy ambiance (Ah!)
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tappin’ in)
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tap)
Eastern side, come alive (Tap, wooph!)
Pandemic shiftin’ minds
[Verse 1]
Please pray for me and mine (Please)
Seen the lord and you and yours (Love)
Universe is doin’ chores (Bless)
Be yourself, do it more
Middle finger, no remorse (Umph!)
I was young and off the porch (Rah!)
Life can take you off the course (Woo!)
Just to bring you back aboard (Woo!)
Stronger than you ever know it (Rah!)
In the G in San [?] (Woo!)
Purpose driven, can’t ignore it (Woo!)
G.O.A.T status, now you know it (Woo!)
Mind racing, ain’t no time wasting on the foundation, too precious (Precious!)
Anyone can get annihilated if they infiltratin on the vessel(Yah!)
Wanna be the uppin’ crime rate, I’m on a whole ‘nother kinda level (Yeah!)
Used to have so much anger, hide up in the face to face it with the devil, I’m Gotti!
How was the product?
How was that diamond you left at the bottom?
How ’bout the side of the people should follow
Want it today, we ain’t promised tomorrow
I’m just a nigga that managed to power
I gotta speak ’cause the government cowards
We gotta call up the light in this hour
You won’t believe we got it, I’m loaded, too cocky, bang!
[Chorus]
Tell your inner sense
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tappin’ in)
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tap)
Holy shit, it’s him again (Sheesh)
Hate to see a nigga win (Ayy)
Transitionin’ to your inner sense
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tappin’ in)
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tap)
Holy shit, it’s him again (Rah!)
Hate to see a nigga win (Yah!)
Pull up, bigger body Benz (Woo!)
Super sexy ambiance (Ah!)
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tappin’ in)
Tappin’ in, tappin’ in (Tap)
Eastern side, come alive (Tap, wooph!)
Pandemic shiftin’ minds
[Verse 2]
They want the people to panic
They want our people to vanish
Come in this bitch like I’m ready to die but I’m ready to live, I done loaded the cannon
I can’t imagine if this nigga Trump get elected again, he gon’ really do damage
We in the sensitive place in the planet
I know my rich niggas up for commandments
Really don’t gotta, we all been effected
Our family too precious, sustanding the message
[Interlude]
Man, bruh came in with that stimulus check though!
What y’all want be to do?
[Verse 3]
We gotta pay attention to the lesson
Most of people stressin’, most of them regret it
I ain’t apologetic when we voted for ’em, wasn’t thinking you would be indebted
Now we’re paying, damn it
People starting to vanish
Way too much confusion, can not understand it
I’ve been at the crib feeling kinda manic
Meditating deep and trying to take advantage
Just the-just the moment who can I become?
Think it’s superhuman when you feeling like the one
Gotta bond together, play the same drums
Self-presevation, we can see the sun
Gotta stay sane, gotta stay sane
Gotta stay sane!
Speaking life, tell me, uh
