Cee: This was the first song I wrote off the project. MaD hit me up at HHK and said he made some beats for me, so I was psyched. This was one of the first three joints he gave me. I wanted to really capture the vibe I felt in Montreal, let the people know where I'm at and what I've been through on the way here. I hadn't done any tracks about Le Plateau, or MTL in general really, so I had to set it off right. This joint kicked off our sets the entire summer tour, so it's a fave.
lyrics
[Verse 1: Cee]
Yeah, man I know that y'all been waiting on it,
Soulful zone out tunes and y'all escaping on it,
High roller, no smoking, I've been vaping on it,
And y'all appreciate the music coz we staying honest,
Yo the flow ice cold and so I'm skating on it,
So legit, there ain't a homie who be hating on it,
514, I be learning les Québéconics,
So multilingual motherfuckers stay debating on it,
The LP, them Indie joints had got ya aching for it,
So me and MaD hitting ya with creative raw shit,
And we ain't really have the time to be placating pundits,
So fuck a trend, we doin' us, and never chasing comets,
The time is now, Notion, no delaying on it,
TMF, we finna win, I'm putting paper on it,
Next move, big time, and dog we playing corporate,
So we can represent the city like we fuckin' bought it
[Hook: Cee]
Yeah, and I know that y'all be feelin' right,
Yeah and I know the energy is live,

Soon the name be up in lights, homie so you know it's I

[Verse 2: Cee]
I, ça va, my MTLiens?
I rep Le Plateau, find me in my skinny jeans,
And we just tryina hit the summer with the realest shit,
Je suis à l'aise with my Alaiz Fam, we in this bitch,
Ah, and y'all can call me Cee the Immigrant,
But when I get my fuckin' papers son, we celebrating,
So for now, under the table's where I get my bread,
And still I'm on a fuckin' mission to a million beers,
Yeah, I been hittin' y'all with soul for years,
The homie MaD brought it back to me like something serious,
And for us the focus was never getting rich,
But at least I'm finna live off of the things I spit,
Dog, and yo the age is now Aquarius,
The cycle coming back around, the negative has dipped,
And we just feeding y'all the opposite of weak,
If you see me homie, stop me in the street coz the kid legit
[Hook: Cee]

Soon the name be up in lights, homie so you know it's I

Yeah and I know that I be seeing dimes,
Yeah and you know this Aussie kid can rhyme,
Canada will know in time, homie now you know it's I
