Cj Fly My Kid

CJ Fly, of Pro Era affiliation, is best known as a founding member of the New York collective. After a series of mixtapes released following the group’s formation in 2011, he released his debut album FLYTRAP in 2016 followed by his sophomore project RUDEBWOY last year at the top of quarantine. His sophomore effort included appearances from the majority of the Pro Era collective, as well as Conway the Machine and others.

On Friday, the Brooklyn native returned with the personal cut “My Kid.” As the title suggests, the emotional record features Pro Era’s self-proclaimed Rudebwoy opening up about his earlier years. He also discusses being a father amid the current state of the world, promising to provide more than enough to ensure his little one can live comfortably.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Fly
Reportin’ to you live from planet Fly
You know the vibes
You are now listenin’ to silver linin’
Produced by CJ Fly, recorded by CJ Fly, written by CJ Fly
Fly

[Chorus]
You won’t ever have to rob folks like I did
You won’t ever need to steal stuff like I did
You won’t ever have to sell drugs like I did
You won’t ever need a thing ’cause you my kid
You won’t ever have to rob folks like I did
You won’t ever need to steal stuff like I did
You won’t ever have to sell drugs like I did
You won’t ever need a thing ’cause you my kid

[Verse]
Used to take it off the rack like I worked the floor
Generational wealth what I’m workin’ towards
I’m gon’ be a millionaire before my first is one
Any time I shoot my shot I got perfect form
A healthy child is what we was hopin’ for
Been holdin’ shit down for so long, I injured both my arm
Lost the first baby and it broke our heart
Always knew from the beginnin’ it was gon’ be hard
Olorun blessed me with the skill of rhymin’
After the storm came the sun, so this the silver linin’
This year been wild, our plan still alignin’
Stuck together, social distance made us feel divided
I’m already ill, ain’t tryna get the virus
One of best and I just guess I’m biased
I’m like a pyro, I stay spittin’ fires
I’m killin’ shit like I was Michael Myers
I can’t rock your clothin’ brand if it ain’t by us
Some y’all in it for the wrong reasons
You can’t lend a helping a hand then you all reachin’
Need to support Black business for all four seasons
There’s opportunities in life that we ain’t all seizin’
This lockdown gave us the clarity we all needed
Watchin’ the news and I could see the lies they all feed us
What we plant about the blossom, now my girl seeded
Almost nine months, I can’t believe my child’s a small fetus
I’m celebratin’ this, first-generation rich
All the times that we’ve taken risks, we thankin’ God we ain’t get pinched
Shoutout to my brodie Roca ’cause he made the link
I was only makin’ songs but now we made a kid
I gotta say that this my best collaboration yet
After I drop this unreleased, they’ll say, “CJ’s the best”
And eight more projects in the stash, is just what may come next
I keep applyin’ all this pressure, I’ll be breakin’ necks

[Chorus]
You won’t ever have to rob folks like I did
You won’t ever need to steal stuff like I did
You won’t ever have to sell drugs like I did
You won’t ever need a thing ’cause you my kid
You won’t ever have to rob folks like I did
You won’t ever need to steal stuff like I did
You won’t ever have to sell drugs like I did
You won’t ever need a thing ’cause you my kid
