Melvoni – Penny Up (Audio, Lyrics, Video)

Melvoni finally releases “Penny Up”. Watch the video, listen, stream, buy, mp3 download and read the lyrics to the song produced by Paulius Stonkus & LC.

Melvoni Penny Up

Melvoni has only been getting started. The release of his March EP, WHO TF IS MELVONI? partially answered the question he posed on the title, though he continues to prove there are deeper layers to his music and character. The rapper returned this weekend with another track that provides a better understanding of what he’s about on his new single, “Penny Up.” Muddy keys and sax loops tie together with the looming 808 drums as Melvoni bounces between laidback flows and smooth, soulful melodies.

The release of Melvoni’s new single arrives just a few weeks after he dropped off his last single, “ONE MAN ARMY.” Perhaps with the release of these two songs, we can expect a full length from the Brooklyn rapper in the near future.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, that’s on the phone, how much you need? (Ooh)
A zip? Damn nigga you got problem, problems
Fuck you smokin’ all that shit for (Huh)
That’ll do it to you bro
Yeah, uh, (LC), yeah, uh, eh, eh, oh yeah

[Verse 1]
If you my nigga, put your lighters up, in there (Put your lighters up)
Pour up a drink, for all them days, they didn’t have time for us (Time for us)
Now we pop out, nigga just mindin’ us, drippin’
Like a fire hydrant, and we pulled up in a fire truck
Just give me the time of day, labels think ’bout signing me
It took around a day, for them to say I’m an anomaly (Anomaly)
Honestly, I’m so proud we all made it out of poverty (Poverty)
They said it was impossible, but ain’t nobody stoppin’ me (Look)

[Chorus]
I lost the keys to my future, a long time ago-o-o (A long time ago)
They tried to leave me behind, but they gon’ see me shine
So I kick down the do-o-or (So I kick down the door)
Gun slangin’, gang-banging, but I’m rich as fuck (Rich as fuck)
Chain hanging, pain singing, now they envy us (Envy us)
Lot of commas, lot of problems, I got plenty up
From the bottom, lot of drama, from the penny up (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
We been puttin’ lots of pain in, I can testify
We lookin’ for, ’cause we needed tons of fire (Grrt, pow)
Hunnid shots and no remotes for the other side
You say you there, you better stay out, Ion’ got time for liars
And this glizzy, that I’m totin’ for the cameras (Pow)
Hunnid-rounds, used to hate this sound, wouldn’t stand this (Boom, pow)
Big o’40 Glock, it do a lot of damage
Way to much blood for a mother-fuckin’ bandage (Grrt, pow)
Mask up, when the time comes I’m a bandit
Look up to other niggas and to me, I gotta have it
I pulled up in a jeep, two-eight deep, raising havoc
I call up my shooter, Luka, he know nun’ about no Mavericks (Grrt, pow)
I’m average, to my right side, is a bad bitch (Grrt, pow)
Lavish, livin’ lifestyle of my status, but I can’t trust no hoe
I don’t know nun’ about no marriage
She don’t love me for me (Uh, uh)
She get the guys and they seek manage (No)

[Chorus]
I lost the keys to my future, a long time ago-o-o
They tried to leave me behind, but they gon’ see me shine
So I kick down the do-o-or
Gun slangin’, gang-banging, but I’m rich as fuck
Chain hanging, pain singing, now they envy us
Lot of commas, lot of problems, I got plenty up
From the bottom, lot of drama, from the penny up

[Outro]
Leave me alone (Yeah), can’t let myself go (No)
Leave me home (Yeah), I’m all alone, no, no, no (No, oh)
Leave me alone (Uh, uh)
