Lyrics :
Why I wanna stay when they all leave?
Should I smoke your alcohol or drink some weed?
Shit, I'm confused, what the fuck Imma sayin'?
On your pussy Imma go super sayan.. sayan!

Should I stay sober until the end?
Should I get wasted until my mind's erased?
Even though reality gon' slap me straight
It's hand might break got too many things in my head, my head!
Should I make a song, or should I make three more
Should I be the best, or should I be the one
Should I stand still, or should I, should I run
My left hand got the keys, but the other got a gun
Should I feel a doubt when I'm watching the news
Should I fuck with industry or should I refuse
Should I tell everybody I love, "I love you"
Should I wake my problems up or should I hit snooze

Why I wanna stay when they all leave?
Should I smoke your alcohol or drink some weed?
Shit, I'm confused, what the fuck Imma sayin'?
On your pussy Imma go super sayan.. sayan!

Do I really need to fuck her now?
My mind's tricking my body on Negrita
I know what I gotta do to make her cry
Should I stay tonight, or should I say goodbye,
Goodbye
Should I love this girl? no I won't even try
Should I feel ashamed? no, but should I feel proud
Would I be the same if I wasn't that high, nigga
Should I be earthbounded when my head's in the sky
Should I be generous if I wanna be liked
Should I be omnipresent to keep up this psych
Should I be the first, or should I be the last one
Should I fuck up the game, or should I win this fight..

Why I wanna stay when they all leave?
Should I smoke your alcohol or drink some weed?
Shit, I'm confused, what the fuck Imma sayin'?
On your pussy Imma go super sayan.. sayan!

Lyrics :
Rilès you're arrogant
You lift yourself up
You believed in your craft when nobody did
But we say arrogant
You dont know the game
You keep mentionning my name
"We dont like what you s-"

I don't give a fuck
Y'all can suck my dick
I'm making pesetas while they're talking talking shit
Nah I don't give a fuck
Don't waste my time for this
I'm making my dollars, dollars while they're tweeting tweets
Nah I don't give a

Please don't wake my dirty self up
Please don't make me sane, nah nah
Please don't let me go look for you
The Internet is not safe
Please don't make me say what's next
Don't let me say it in French
Jay-Z's label on the phone
They're coming at the house on Monday
me say
Wow, wow, Great, great
Don't say too much they're gonna see what's next
They're hating on me cuz they ain't done shit
I'll forgive you cuz y'all giving me strength
say
Wow, wow, Great, great
They type too much
But don't know shit 'bout shit
Do your research before comparing me
And you'll see this dude didn't make his hits so

fuck
Y'all can suck my dick
I'm making pesetas while they're talking talking shit
Nah I don't give a fuck
Don't waste my time for this
I'm making my dollars, dollars while they're tweeting tweets

Nah I don't give a fuck
Y'all can suck my dick
I'm making pesetas while they're talking talking shit
Nah I don't give a fuck
Don't waste my time for this
I'm making my dollars, dollars while they're tweeting tweets
Nah I don't give a

They all want me dead
I piss them off
That's what I like to
You're sending me death threats in my mailbox
Mama we gon' move
Talk to me 'fore your talk 'bout me
Yeah that's the number 1 rule
Many want my head
But where's the crown?
It's on my balls fool
Wow, wow, Great, great
Don't show them that you've been loving yourself
Say you're ugly
Say you're not the best
Don't pump yourself up, they don't like them speeches
Wow, wow, Great, great
I do not go downtown
I'm feeling like hate & love are fighting for my vehemence
Now I got girls who want my d
And crazy dudes who want my hea..

wait..

I still don't give a fuck
Y'all can suck my dick
I'm making pesetas while they're talking talking shit
Nah I don't give a fuck
Don't waste my time for this
I'm making my dollars, dollars while they're tweeting tweets

Nah I don't give a fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
Y'all can suck it up, up, up, up, up
Imma let you talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
While I'm making more, more, more, more, more

Nah I don't give a fuck
Y'all can suck my dick
I'm making pesetas while they're talking talking shit
Nah I don't give a fuck
Don't waste my time for this
I'm making my dollars, dollars while they're tweeting tweets
Nah I don't give a fuck

Lyrics:
Back before birthdays were somethin’ she’d dreads
Back before children had settled her friends
Back when the radio spoke to her heart
Oh girls they wanna have fun

Oneida I know that I’m younger than most
But I’m willin’ if you got the time
To buy us some wine

I lay here awake and I laugh at her jokes
She is referencin’ movies I’m too young to know
And I’m lettin’ her lead as we dance in the dark
Oh girl I’m fallin’ in love

Oneida I know that I’m younger than most
But I’m willin’ if you got the time
To buy us some wine
I’ll bring my guitar I’ve been workin on learnin’
That song you’ve been dyin’ to sing
About weddins and rings

Pleadin’ my case with the bro at the door
Buddy I know we’ve been through this before
Ya can’t let me go in, but if I wait outside
Will you give her a message for me

Tell her Oneida I know that I’m younger than most
But I’m willin’ if you got the time
To buy us some wine
I’ll bring my guitar I’ve been workin on learnin’
That song you’ve been dyin’ to sing
About weddins and rings
I’ll strum in the back and come in where I can
Harmonize on a line or two
But this song’s all you

TK Kirkland On Kevin Hart, Jay-Z, DMX, Elon Musk, Tupac, Biggie, Cam Newton, Performance by Awich
TK Kirkland On Kevin Hart, Jay-Z, DMX, Elon Musk, Tupac, Biggie, Cam Newton, Performance by Awich Hotney 138 Streams • 1 year ago

TK Kirkland On Kevin Hart, Jay-Z, DMX, Elon Musk, Tupac, Biggie, Cam Newton, Performance by Awich

In this episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe sits down with the incomparable TK Kirkland—a trailblazing stand-up comedian, cultural critic, and one of the most seasoned voices in entertainment.

With over 40 years in the game, TK has shared the stage with legends, rocked sold-out crowds around the world, and built a reputation as comedy’s best-kept secret. Known for his raw storytelling, street-smart wisdom, and undeniable presence, TK is a veteran who’s seen it all—and lived to tell the wildest stories you’ve never heard.

The episode kicks off with an electric performance from Japanese rap star Awich before Shannon dives into a dynamic conversation with TK Kirkland. TK opens up about getting his start opening for N.W.A. and New Edition, and what it was like working with hip-hop heavyweights like Jay-Z, Lloyd, Gwen Stefani, Birdman, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Missy Elliott, DMX, Nelly, Eve, and Timbaland.

TK reflects on the time MC Ren slept with a woman he brought on tour, his take on whether Jay-Z owes Dame Dash, and why he believes Elon Musk should be quiet. He shares advice from Andre 3000 on co-parenting, his love for DMX—who he calls the greatest solo rapper of all time—and the eerie experience of being with Tupac the day he was shot and Biggie on the day he died.

He opens up about his time behind bars, including sharing a cell with Rick James, the Menendez brothers, and Tupac. He recalls being booed while performing in jail, and talks about working with Mike Epps, Sandra Bullock, and Godfrey. He shares his firsthand experiences with Suge Knight, R. Kelly, and Diddy, and even admits to robbing Charlie Murphy’s Rolex and stealing from Diddy. He also shares memories of knowing Richard Pryor, Keenen Wayans, and Prince before they made it big.

TK weighs in on the report of Tory Lanez being stabbed in prison and gives unfiltered takes on Hollywood, cancel culture, and online haters. He shares why he genuinely wants a minivan, reveals his worst purchase, and reflects on money, investing, and the cost of fame.

He opens up about how he became a comedian, his long-standing beefs with Robin Harris and Michael Blackson, and the competitive, gate-kept nature of the comedy industry. He discusses Noah Lyles' beef with Tyreek Hill over shoe deals, apologizing to Cam Newton, and why he publicly said Kevin Hart isn’t funny. He also shares the family tragedies that shaped him, the best advice he’s ever received, and his new show “The People’s Podcast.”

The episode closes with a second performance from Awich, followed by an intimate sit-down where she opens up about her upbringing in Okinawa, learning English by listening to Tupac, and her journey into rap. She talks about her sake business, working with RZA, the loss of her husband, and turning that grief into creative power. She also shares her dreams of collaborating with Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla.

Don’t miss this raw, hilarious, and powerful episode from one of the most unfiltered minds in comedy.

SUNSET BLVD.: Tiny Desk Concert
SUNSET BLVD.: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 2 Streams • 1 year ago

Mitra I. Arthur | May 5, 2025
As a director, Jamie Lloyd applies a minimalist approach to theater. His revival of SUNSET BLVD. is the perfect match for the sometimes challenging directive of Tiny Desk — to distill the essence of the music. All artifice is stripped down to showcase the tragedy of the characters and the grandeur of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton. In this tale of tarnished Hollywood, Nicole Scherzinger and Tom Francis make their Tony Award-nominated Broadway debuts as Norma Desmond, faded star of the silent screen, and failing screenwriter Joe Gillis.

For this production, the show serves up a dazzling pair of Tiny Desk versions in conversation with arrangements familiar to fans. The eight-member orchestra, led by music director Alan Williams, delivers lush instrumentals throughout. Scherzinger and Francis' duet of "The Perfect Year" is reenvisioned as a soft rocker with R&B vibes. "Sunset Boulevard" rocks, which perfectly suits Francis' voice; here, he stands still, rather than his usual stroll through New York City streets. In both arrangements, Justin Rothberg's electric guitar shines. To bookend this performance, Scherzinger's expansive voice commands the stage in "With One Look" and in a blistering rendition of "As If We Never Said Goodbye."

Grupo Frontera: Tiny Desk Concert
Grupo Frontera: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 2,128 Streams • 1 year ago

Anamaria Sayre | April 24, 2025
Grupo Frontera, which was headlining backyard bailes well before stadium shows, feels perfectly made for Tiny Desk. Beneath the glow of fluorescent office lights and backed against trinket-stuffed shelves, the match feels divinely ordained.

Normally, jazzy vocal trills and norteño cumbia rhythms are star-crossed lovers, but not at the Tiny Desk. At the center of a pop-infused reinvigoration of traditional Mexican sounds, the members of Grupo Frontera are masters of unlikely pairings. Mega-producer and songwriter Edgar Barrera discovered Grupo Frontera at a quinceanera in his hometown, enthralled by the band's authenticity. He encouraged the band's Texas-bred beats, killer melodies and contemporary lyrics.

There's no better space to highlight the impressive musicality of the group and stunning vocals of Payo Solis than in a stripped down setting. "Yo nací pa' querer a la que no me quiere (I was born to love the one who doesn't love me)," Payo coos. But it's hard to feel heartbroken when desamor sounds so smooth.

The Cast of Buena Vista Social Club: Tiny Desk Concert
The Cast of Buena Vista Social Club: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 36 Streams • 1 year ago

Felix Contreras | May 27, 2025
Based on real-life events and people, Buena Vista Social Club features many characters and lots of great Cuban music. It takes such skill to reflect music of a bygone era, even more to sound fresh and vibrant night after night for months at a time. Scaled down for the Tiny Desk, the show is no less magical.

Before it was a Broadway musical racking up Tony Award nominations, the Buena Vista Social Club was a second chance. After the Cuban Revolution, many of the country's beloved musicians were lost to time, but in 1996, an ensemble was formed to reclaim their spotlight. To tell their story, the musical goes back and forth between the 1940s and the recording sessions that produced a masterpiece.

After the band warms up the Tiny Desk crowd with "El Cuarto de Tula," we meet young versions of the central characters: Compay Segundo (Da'Von Moody), Ibrahim Ferrer (Wesley Wray) and Omara Portuondo (Isa Antonetti) — their harmonies shine together on "La Negra Tomasa." Antonetti takes on the bolero-son standard "Lágrimas Negras." We also meet the older version of Ferrer, played by Mel Semé, for "Candela." Marco Ramirez, who wrote the book for Buena Vista Social Club, is our emcee for this performance, guiding us through the story.

The secret sauce is, of course, the music. These are the foundational building blocks of what has made Cuban music so popular before and after the revolution in 1959. Some of the best musicians in NYC who have experience with classic Cuban music are in this production. Buena Vista Social Club is a living, breathing and deeply grooving homage to the era, the music and the island.

Ruby Ibarra, 2025 Tiny Desk Contest Winner: Tiny Desk Concert
Ruby Ibarra, 2025 Tiny Desk Contest Winner: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 8 Streams • 1 year ago

Elle Mannion | May 29, 2025
We received nearly 7,500 entries from independent artists across the country for the Tiny Desk Contest. That’s a record for the project, now in its 11th year, which has catapulted the careers of artists like Grammy winners Fantastic Negrito and Tank and the Bangas. Now we have a new star: Ruby Ibarra, a Filipina American rapper from the Bay Area. Ibarra’s Contest entry, “Bakunawa,” stunned this year’s panel of judges with its multilingual, intergenerational band and passionate emcee.

When arriving at the Tiny Desk, Ibarra was poised, gracious and a little reserved. We could tell she was taking in the moment that she would later call “surreal.” But as soon as she got situated behind the Desk, she locked in.

Community and culture are two guiding forces in Ibarra’s music. She put together an all-Filipino band for this performance, which includes R&B singer Ouida and members of Pinay Voltron and Astralogik, plus rock legend June Millington. But beyond these musicians, Ibarra’s crew runs deep; our office was packed with the artists’ friends and family.

On “Bakunawa,” a song about Filipino folklore and motherhood, Ibarra performs in English, Tagalog and Bisaya, switching effortlessly between the three languages from one verse to the next. On “7000 Miles,” she raps about her and her family’s experiences as immigrants. “My mom will make it in America” is a verse she repeats while looking into the teary eyes of her mother, who sits front row in the audience with a box of tissues. At the end of “Someday,” Ibarra changes the song’s refrain from “Mama, we gon’ make it here someday” to “Mama, we gon’ make it here today.”

Between flows, Ibarra introduces herself and makes a statement: “Being human is not illegal. Immigrants have been here, lived here, worked here. And this immigrant is here. From Tacloban City, Philippines, all the way to Washington, D.C., my name is Ruby Ibarra.”

Amerie: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 126 Streams • 1 year ago

This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk honors the anniversaries of landmark albums that have shaped the course of music and culture.

Alanté Serene | June 6, 2025
When Amerie arrived at the Tiny Desk, her enthusiastic energy and bright smile was an instant mood boost. The warm entrance felt fitting for an artist whose music embodies the soul of summer: bold percussion, breezy vocals and the feeling of endless possibilities.

When her sop****re album Touch dropped in 2005, it introduced a national audience to the infectious rhythms of go-go. Rooted in Washington, D.C., go-go is known for its layered percussion, funky basslines and live instrumentation made to hype the crowd. These sounds pulse through Amerie's music and helped to make "1 Thing" a standout in a year overflowing with R&B hits.

Amerie, who once lived in Washington, D.C. for several years, returns to the city with a reimagined set accompanied by go-go legends Backyard Band. Together, they open the show with songs from her debut album All I Have, including "Talkin' to Me" and the quintessential summer anthem "Why Don't We Fall in Love." She eases into her latest single, "Mine," and delivers a fan-favorite "I Just Died," before introducing a new rendition of "Rolling Down My Face" that you'll want to hear all the time from now on. By the time "Talkin' About" kicks in, Amerie is in full dance mode. When "1 Thing" closes out the set, she steps from behind the Desk to join the dance party, turning the performance into a celebration.

Wiz Khalifa: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 441 Streams • 1 year ago

This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk honors the anniversaries of landmark albums that have shaped the course of music and culture.

Bobby Carter | June 10, 2025
Wiz Khalifa’s Kush & Orange Juice came out 15 years ago. To honor the anniversary, the Pittsburgh emcee assembled a group of Tiny Desk veterans, Pennsylvania natives and his DJ to reimagine highlights from the classic mixtape, plus tracks from Kush & Orange Juice 2, its similar, yet more mature follow-up.

Something was happening during the entire show and lots of us in the room could feel it. We were waiting for him to engage with us, but he didn’t. I stepped in after a few songs to remind him that it was OK to do so — still, nothing. But then, after “Crime Bud and Women,” Wiz spoke to the audience for the first and only time, wiping away tears: “You made me cry. F*** y’all!”

I can muster up a few guesses as to why the emotion overflowed. Wiz had a host of family and friends present in this very intimate setting, including his father. And he did tell me how much he loves performing. But honestly, this sonic masterpiece was good enough to hit the tear ducts.

E-40: Tiny Desk Concert
E-40: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 131 Streams • 1 year ago

This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk honors the anniversaries of landmark albums that have shaped the course of music and culture.

Bobby Carter | June 2, 2025
Bay Area ambassador E-40 moves with the energy of an up-and-coming emcee, but he's been around a minute. To put it 40 Water's way: "I've been doing this since Kermit the Frog was a pollywog!" Our biggest hurdle to clear was packing in three decades of music at the Tiny Desk, but 40 Fonzarelli and his band clocked weeks of rehearsal to make sure this office was rockin'.

E-40's sop****re solo album In a Major Way dropped in 1995, one of the most competitive years in hip-hop history, with certified classics dropping weekly by the likes of 2Pac, Mobb Deep, Goodie Mob, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Raekwon and GZA. Straightforward and plain has never been E-40's nature, and that left-of-center spit has been the thing that has sustained his illustrious entertainment career.

At the Desk, Charlie Hustle sets things off with "Da Bumble" from In a Major Way and continues to bounce through a catalog of big hits sprinkled with nods to his day ones. Producer Lil Jon brought him back to the mainstream in the early 2000s with "Tell Me When to Go," "U and Dat" and "Snap Yo Fingers," while TikTok injected new life in "Choices (Yup)" and introduced him to Gen Z. "I'm on my fourth wind!" 40 tells us. No lies told.

Ashley Pointer | June 13, 2025
CeCe Winans' voice transcends genre, race and generations — something incredibly rare in the gospel and Christian music realms. Her Tiny Desk concert, which celebrates the 30th anniversary of her solo debut Alone in His Presence, is a moving journey through the many eras of her monumental career.

Winans laughed when she told me, "Ashley, you had me working today!" She dusted off songs she hadn't performed in decades to craft this moment. (And that's without even touching the groundbreaking work she did alongside her brother BeBe Winans.) From the joyous call and response of "Pray" to the crowd's audible gasp at the opening line of "Alabaster Box" to the heartfelt "Goodness of God" singalong, this performance isn't just nostalgic, it's a reminder of Winans' enduring spiritual and cultural impact. She is one of the most decorated gospel artists of all time — witness a living legend take the Tiny Desk to church.

Stanley Clarke: Tiny Desk Concert
Stanley Clarke: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 4 Streams • 1 year ago

This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk honors the anniversaries of landmark albums that have shaped the course of music and culture.

Mitra I. Arthur | June 17, 2025
Once the Tiny Desk logo fades away, one of the things you'll notice is a wall of amps. Robust sound has always been a hallmark of bassist Stanley Clarke's musicality; he reminded our audio team not only to pay attention to what the soundboard says but also if it sounds good.

Clarke's storied career has been awash with showcases in his virtuosity on the acoustic and electric basses. He's worked with fellow music titans like Chick Corea, George Duke, Jean-Luc Ponty and Al Di Meola, and has scored for film and television. From 1974-1976, Clarke dropped a series of solo albums ("Stanley Clarke," "Journey to Love" and "School Days") that would herald his status as a force in music and foreshadow his 2022 designation as an NEA Jazz Master.

Indicative of his passion for spotlighting young musicians, Clarke's latest ensemble, 4EVER (a callback to his band Return to Forever), features saxophonist Emilio Modeste, guitarist Colin Cook, drummer Jeremiah Collier, violinist Evan Garr and keyboardist Cameron Graves.

Opening the set is "Song to John" from 1975's "Journey to Love," with Graves and Cook proving they're more than up to the task laid before them. "Yesterday Princess," from Clarke's 1974 self-titled album, gives violinist Garr the chance to shine as his fingers dance over the fingerboard. The performance moves into the electric realm with 2003's "1, 2, to the Bass," a track that manages to be both smooth (hat tip to Modeste) and funky at the same time. Collier's toms build up to the entry of Clarke at work as they close with one of his biggest hits, "School Days." A little over 50 years since his solo debut, Clarke reminds the audience that there are still new ways to be dazzled by the innovative and solid fullness of his instrument.
