Haviah Mighty Tesla

After securing the 2019 Polaris Music Prize with Thirteen, Haviah Mighty has been delivering banger after banger throughout 2021. The Toronto rapper came through this week with her latest release, “Tesla.” Tackling 808-driven trap production — produced by Haviah and Young Dreadz —  she showcases her lyrical aptitude with some A1 flexes about reaching new heights.

“One thing I’ve always worried about is being stagnant and only being recognized for the last thing that I’ve done, so maintaining this work ethic has to be a focal point for me,” she said in a statement. “While much of this song talks about the things that I feel I’m on my way to achieving, some of which being those nice-to-have material things – for me, these things are symbolic of something more abstract – a lifestyle that I couldn’t fathom prior.”

Lyrics

Life is as dark as the 808
Gotta be up on a Gatorade
I need the sun is the takeaway
I’m in a rut and I hate it ‘eh
I’m in the north, who I’m blaming
Wanna be by the port and I’m sailing
I grind to my core, no faking
I bet you I’ll more than make it
I need rays shit, I need bay shit, San Fran by the waves shit
High rise vacations, got bright lights in my basement
These bright lights I been chasing, and the night life is a statement
I’m on a hill, I’m in Silver Lake
Niggas asleep but I’m still awake
Y’all niggas sweet like vanilla shake
White people think I’m a killler ape
New but I’m ‘just in’ like Timberlake
Got a Mustang on the intеrstate
Life look so differеnt now
I’m booked and busy now
I’m approaching a bigger sound
Imma make the whole damn city proud

On flights every day and night, now I think I need a Nexus
Yeah my Civic did a lot for me, now I think I need a Lexus
Been awake for a lotta hours, might be time for me to rest up
But I gotta lot to do across town, Imma ride it in a Tesla

Polaris prize, now I gotta maintain
I feel ‘em rhymes, there’s a lot on my brain
Free the mind, then they call me insane
I feel alive, but I’m not on cocaine
In a Ford, yeah I zip in the range
Bigger boys couldn’t get in my lane
Ain’t no cards, but I’m running the game
I’m a boss, we not one and the same
I don’t even fuck with you, you know that
You a has-been, you a throwback
Why you still wondering what should I be?
By this time, you should find resources, talking ‘bout what do I need?
When I wake up, I got a routine, it starts with brushing my teeth
Cop a shower, then account for every hour, that’s why I fuck with my team
Look, I be plotting
I’m a conscious rapper, usually what they call me, I guess I’ll be common
I’m human with a couple problems, I’m tryna solve ‘em

On flights every day and night, now I think I need a Nexus
Yeah my Civic did a lot for me, now I think I need a Lexus
Been awake for a lotta hours, might be time for me to rest up
But I gotta lot to do across town, Imma ride it in a Tesla

Ay
Ay
Imma ride it in a Tesla
Ay
Let me switch it up
Imma ride it in a Tesla

Can I pick you up some time
Can I pick you up some time
I roll up in my Tesla baby
I want you with extra gravy
And I’m whipping ‘round thinking ‘bout you
With a smile on my face
No time to debate
Baby tell me where to drive to
Pick the time and the place, I am on my way
Tell me can I call you my boo
Call me the mechanic, said you wanting my tool
Imma pick you up, just tell me where to the drive through
Ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh ouh
Ouh ouh ouh ouh
