[Verse 1: Soul-sample rap male MC, hard knocking drums, chopped soul vocal sample] Milo had the chair by the window on Grand Clippers in his left and a comb in his right hand Every Friday there's a line out the door to the curb Never took a phone call, never wasted a word I was twelve with a broom sweepin' hair into piles Watchin' how he blended, never rushed it, no style Just a lean in the hip and a turn in the wrist And a taper so clean that the light couldn't miss Every kid in the chair got the same little speech Sit still, I got you, then the line on the cheek Tuesday in March and his chair didn't turn Sign taped to the glass and a lesson to learn [Hook: Soul-sample rap male MC, full drums, soul sample, raw full-voice hook] Nobody cuts a fade like Milo Now I'm the one tryin' not to fade Line to the corner and the chair is empty Sit still, I got you, that's the promise I made [Verse 2: Soul-sample rap male MC, harder soul-sample bars, thick bass guitar] Twenty-six now and I practiced on my cousins Botched about a hundred, they was cryin', they was cussin' Watched his old videos until I knew how he leaned Elbow on the hip and the left wrist clean Then his son called me up, said the service is Saturday Nobody cuts it like my pops did, can you do it anyway? Sat him in the chair by the window on Grand Same clippers, same comb, but it's my right hand Shakin' like a leaf, couldn't steady the guard Then I heard it in my head and it hit me hard Sit still, I got you, like he's standin' right there Like the clippers in my hand had his hand on my hair [Hook: Soul-sample rap male MC, full drums, soul sample, raw full-voice hook] Nobody cuts a fade like Milo Now I'm the one tryin' not to fade Line to the corner and the chair is empty Sit still, I got you, that's the promise I made [Bridge: Soul-sample rap male MC, sample flip, the soul sample sings sit still I got you] Number one on the sides and I blend it up high Number two on the top and I let it ride Brush it off, spin the chair, hand him the glass And his son starts cryin' 'cause he's lookin' at his dad [Final Hook: Soul-sample rap male MC, full drums and flipped soul sample, raw full voice] Nobody cuts a fade like Milo Now I'm the one tryin' not to fade Line to the corner and the chair is empty Sit still, I got you, that's the promise I made [Outro: Soul-sample rap male MC, drums keep knocking] Sit still, I got you, sit still, I got you Chair by the window, and I'm keepin' it for you [End]
