Nine - Any Emcee (Remix)

Who got the props RMX (Black Moon & Evil Dee tribute)

Yeah
Catfish on the keys
Bayou boy in the deep end
We ain’t scared of the tide, nah
Let’s swim

I been grindin’ on the wave, tryna keep my head above it
Everybody smellin’ blood, tryna take a lil’ somethin’
Labels circle like they friendly, but they teeth say different
Gotta move like water, cool, clean, and efficient

I been tip-toein’ through the currents, learnin’ all the codes
Smile pretty for the cameras while I’m carryin’ loads
But I’m slick with it—Bayou boy, current in my chest
I ain’t runnin’ from the ocean, I just swim with the best

Lights flash, bass hit, sharks all smell fame (smell fame)
Tryna bite a lil’ piece, tryna carve out my name (our name)
But I glide through the deep, stay steady in the dark (ready in the dark, ready in the dark)
If you scared of the water, you ain’t built for the sharks (built for the sharks, built for the sharks)

(Yeah…) I’m swimmin’ with sharks, they all around me
Tryna take a lil’ taste but they can’t drown me
Pressure on my neck but the flow too strong
If you movin’ in the deep, better learn to hold on

(Yeah…) I’m swimmin’ with sharks, they circle tight
But I slide through the dark like I own the night
They wanna pull me down but I play my part
In the deep, in the deep, still swimmin’ with sharks

They be watchin’ how I move, tryna study my form
Tryna take my lil’ rhythm, turn it into their song
But I’m seasoned—Bayou raised, carnival-born
Got a melody for every rainy night and early morn

Industry cold, gotta keep my soul warm
Keep my heartbeat loud underneath the storm
I ain’t followin' the tides, man, I build my own chart
If you wanna ride the wave, better swim with heart

Sharks in the water but I move like a barracuda
Cut clean through the rumors, I’m cooler than a brass tuba
Whole squad wadin’ through the deep, that’s a heavy crew
If you ain’t built for the waves, they gon’ bury you

Industry cold but I’m warm when the beat drop
Keep a little heat in the bars, let the street knock
Contracts lookin’ like teeth—gotta read proper
’Cause a handshake smile still hide a jaw locker

I been swimmin’ in the dark with a glow on me
Ain’t nobody takin’ nothin’ that I sow, homie
Bayou-born, so the current always roll on me
Sharks try to bite but they choke when they go for me

Deep breath… don’t sink…
Hold tight… don’t blink…
Everybody want a bite when the lights go dark…
But I keep floatin’, keep coastin’,
Still swimmin’ with sharks…
Still swimmin’ with sharks…
Still swimmin’ with sharks…
Still swimmin’ with sharks…
