about

I remember a festival that I played where met a woman who told me that I give her "Suge Knight vibes". I wasn't offended in the slightest but I pretended like I was in a friendly effort to get her to explain herself. I thought that her assessment was interesting at the time.

Another time when I was driving to Vermont for a solo performance, I thought heavily about that experience and decided to write this song to capture it.

The chords are very drone-like with a strange rhythm that feels like it shouldn't be that way.
The drum groove sets everything into its right place while the lyrics have a dark undertone to them, creating a vibe worthy of being called "Sixes"

lyrics

Brand new sixes
Finna rock the show stay out til daylight
Conversation & anebriation til the daylight
Ocean water shark they comin thru to slaughter all night
Wit the band no rubber hit the club we dancin' all night
Spit the name spit the flame make them feel alright
It's a shame for all them lame cuh yes this shit is air tight
Finna git the air right slidin' on a jet
Need to get that fuckin' fare right
The jumper soakin' wet
Make you never forget
Bust into a cold sweat
Homie that's a big bet
And yes I do take a check
And yes I do break a sweat
leave the crowd soakin' wet
They put they chip on the bet
And I will never forget
Yeah

Tennishu Im knee deep in ya stereo
You might not catch the vibe but you gon feel me tho
Deep inside ya mind listen to me slo
Hold on cuz here we go

Brand new pair of six
Yes I got my fix
To the next
Fly in' out of town
Sell it out
Now we stackin' checks
When in doubt
Call the homie phone
And if they not home then talk yo shit
Have the homie weak when they turn it on
Gas Im on
Clutch then gas I'm gone
Like it is the 1st
From best to worst
Gotta got it now
Fore I hit the herse
We poppin' off
Opposite of golf
Where they clappin' soft
Say it loud
Like Im James Brown
Black and mad proud
This shit in and yo shit out
Bully come and air it out
Got the tools on the couch
Still ain't say what that's about
Got a temper calm it down
Still got thoughts that go around
Still gone come right back around
Text my phone it's going down

Tennishu Im knee deep in ya stereo
You might not catch the vibe but you gon feel me tho
Deep inside ya mind listen to me slo
Hold on cuz here we go

Tennishu Im knee deep in ya stereo
You might not catch the vibe but you gon feel me tho
Deep inside ya mind listen to me slo
Hold on cuz here we go

I'm flying higher than I've ever flown before hahahahahah Yessir
Ugggghhhhhhhh
