about

Lullaby, the newest single from Queens MC, Buddha Lee Raye is inspired by Vanessa Williams infamous character, Keisha, in New Jack City. As the song starts, Buddha begins rapping as a ruthless modern-day Nino Brown, focusing on murder, drugs, and providing plausible reasons as to why he does each venomous act. By the final verse, Buddha’s split personalities exchange insults, but come to terms quickly because business is never personal. Lullaby is produced by illa Truth, and is a single on Buddha's Hood Awards project.

lyrics

All of you niggas is hoes
That's straight facts, fuck a motherfuckin' punchline
Crunch time, goons like koreans on the front line
One time, you can catch a bullet cross the gun line
(gasp)
Take a breath while you can, send you to Japan tied up with ya man's
Cut both hands, dipped ya wrists in the sand
Now you praying for a God when you looking at the man
Damn, Life gotta be so cold
I was told Hollywood had all the gold
Those people took it, then built Vegas
And all us niggas had, was our Genesis and Segas
When I start shooting cops, won't owe us any favors
Killed our great grandfather, fore his daughter even made us
Haters, ima start kidnapping rich folk
Leave em in a dead ditch though
Live in they crib for a couple of years
Shit, it's all in the wrist though

My apologies dawg, that was Lee Raye was he bothering y'all
He's always been bitching, since his mother went missing
In reality, he isn't a problem at all
(Why the fuck you always gotta do that)
Stop it
(Nah man for real)
Aight
(What if I talked about ya mother)
You got it
(sucks teeth)
Ducktape bandit understand it ima different breed
You gon' need to pop a couple xannies just to sit with me
Gotta couple friends they eat lead all day
And they love sparking might spray it your way
Stay all black, ain't never had a safety
Popped ya baby moms and ya new old lady
Lee Raye, and I might sound a lil crazy
But I don't give a fuck nigga, I don't give a fuck

Buddha Lee Raye New York, New York

Buddha Lee Raye was born at St. John's Hospital in Queens and moved around a lot as a youth before stopping in the Lower East Side. In his music he meshes metaphors, multisyllabic rhyme cadences, with a blues like swing and pimp flow. There are no gimmicks. And he isn't singing to an ex, or competing for the love of a woman, whose with another man. If anything he's trying to provide for his kids. ... more
