Say what you will about Eli Sostre, but you have to admit he knows not to keep his fans waiting. The self-proclaimed “Vibe God” returned once more just days ago with the hauntingly cinematic track which he co-produced with Jacobi and Soriano, entitled, “Made It (Can’t Stay)”.
This release follows that of two other singles, all of which collectively preface his upcoming album, Emori, slated to hit shelves and streaming services on October 1st.
The impending release date would already be rather swift in the context of a single having just been shared, but it is made all the more significant by the fact that Sostre’s last full-length album was published less than one year ago.
This is a welcome, yet surprising aberration from higher-profile artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, etc., who *ahem* take all the time necessary to manifest their ideal next release.
Even if Sostre may seek to rocket to “Mixtape Weezy” levels of publication, he has certainly shown no sign of declining production or lyrical ability.
A snare readily outpaced by the accompanying hi-hats adds to the growing tension presented by grandiose operatic vocals. Throughout the beat, he sounds aptly absent emotionally.
Eli Sostre – Made It (Can’t Stay) (prod. Jacobi, SORIANO & Eli Sostre)
[Chorus]
Too hard to feel something, I can’t run away
Too hard to leave you lonely, baby I can’t stay
You fuck around, I put a real one in your place
Got a bigger house, yeah, it’s still two-hundred up in that safe, uh
Got a hundred rounds, I will never fuck around with my babies
I stayed up late nights, I had nothin’, baby, I was prayin’
Took two flights with my baby girl on a vacation
I ain’t even make it far and they still mad that I made it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain’t even make it far and they still mad that I made it, yeah
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
[Verse]
Baby, I won’t trust a soul (Yeah)
Fuck around, I’ma let you go (Go)
Know I’ve been fucking ’round, I’m bipolar, yeah I know (Yeah I know)
Please baby cuff it round, I’ve been rollin’ ace and O’s
Say she wanna fuck me now, come around, that’s a no (That’s a no)
And all these pictures of us, got it through my fuckin’ phone
Been away too long, baby, I’ve been missin’ home (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
And you was there when I ain’t never have a place to go
You hate my past, you said you’d rather leave my ass alone
I had a talk with my momma, she said, “Baby why your heart so cold?
Why your heart so froze?” That’s some shit I seen, can’t let it go
Hate to see you cry, all this fuckin’ time I spend at home
Got a little model bitch from Rome
I ain’t even fuck, she give me dome (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Too hard to feel something, I can’t run away
Too hard to leave you lonely, baby I can’t stay
You fuck around, I put a real one in your place
Got a bigger house, yeah, it’s still two-hundred up in that safe, uh
Got a hundred rounds, I will never fuck around with my babies
I stayed up late nights, I had nothin’, baby, I was prayin’
Took two flights with my baby girl on a vacation
I ain’t even make it far and they still mad that I made it
