Featuring Omar Linx

Phone blown like a tailpipe
Today's schedule airtight
I turn a short day into a long night
See you soon if you got the heart

Meet you outside Rennie park
●Omar is from Toronto, Rennie park is a lowkey spot to have a sesh in the west side of the city

Hurry up if it's gettin' dark
We don't say much and that says a lot
Hopped into that old Benz

Drive through where that road ends
Good times with some old friends
I got just the thing if you so tense
Burn one, let's go do some

She got me stoned as Medusa
●In this context, Omar compares being stoned, or high, to the feeling that this girl gives him whenever he sees her

Zoned out with a blank stare
I'm lookin' into the future

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, ain't nothing gonna hold us
Put the devil to the side
Got an angel on my shoulder
And I'm like hello
It's good to finally let go
I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I just like to keep it mellow

[Chorus]
Yeah I like to keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
[d up, ain't nothing gonna hold us
Put the devil to the side
Got an angel on my shoulder
And I'm like hello
It's good to finally let go
I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I just like to keep it mellow

[Chorus]
Yeah I like to keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello

[Verse 2]
It's like 4 am and I'm bored again
When that 40 end
When that dream team all played out and they hit the bench
I just step back, lemme soak it in
I've seen the ups and downs so I get it now, I was born to win
It's my time, 'bout time, my turn, I can't lie
Waiting for that one spark
My one hope to catch fire
I'm fine, I'm high
Light rain through that sunshine
Tryin' to man this old boat
I'm the captain now and it's crunch time
I don't care if I'm gettin' paid
Need the week but I get the day
Wide awake when I need sleep
I'm knee deep but I set the way
Focused on that one mistake, let it free don't let it break
Fuck it all, I'm turning in
My celly's off, the great escape

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, ain't nothing gonna hold us
Put the devil to the side
Got an angel on my shoulder
And I'm like hello
It's good to finally let go
I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I just like to keep it mellow

[Chorus]
Yeah I like to keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello

[Chorus]
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello

[Outro]
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Yeah I like to keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello

●This reference to the movie “The Great Escape” which is about escaping a P.O.W. camp gives another meaning to the phrase “my celly’s off”. Rather than a reference to his cellphone, it is wordplay using “celly” to refer to a cellmate. If taken as a continuation of the reference to a cellphone, however, it means that turning off his cellphone is a means of “escaping” the stresses of the world, and thus keeping it mello

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, ain't nothing gonna hold us
Put the devil to the side
Got an angel on my shoulder
And I'm like hello
It's good to finally let go
I ain't worried 'bout a thing
I just like to keep it mellow

[Chorus]
Yeah I like to keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello

[Chorus]
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
[Daily life can be a busy, stressful, bundle of chaos. Sometimes taking a moment to get away from it all with a soothing vice like smoking or drinking can help you come down from the anxieties brought on by the modern world – allowing you to keep your focus and maintain a positive outlook/attitude.]

[Outro]
I smoke and keep it mello
I drink and keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
Every day I keep it mello
