Fresh from his new record, F.Y.I. Invented Green So turn your box up And feel that Bump Verse 1: FYI is the trillest ni**a that you ever heard / Got superb with the words / Used to chill out on the curb / In the ghettoes of California / Where the kids wanna earn / Making money like the players and the dealers with the work / If you black on the block / Then the cops illegal search / Consequences for the snitches / Strictly stiffness in a hurst / Always been about my business / Get more action than a verb / Bi*ches be catching feelings / Then they lifting up they skirt / Get to sexing with the lips / Wink wink / Start to flirt / Then I hit them with that drink drink/ We kiss / Then she squirt / Made her dance up at my house / Now she calling me a jerk / My eyes wide open / Got a ni**a on alert / I'm on fresh off tour / Huemans selling out the merch / I'm good with a milli / Corporations wanna merge / Had to strong arm the moon / Just to plant my flag first / The buzz is legendary / Monumental I prefer Chorus: FYI Be that new type of fly Rolling down the ave And the baddies say "Hi" Mid City LA where I soak up the vibes Text coming through What it do!? For tonight No time be tripping Off the when where or what Make the speakers bump I'm feeling on her bumps The bump Verse 2: Stay having good years / These vets is looking tired / Been sh*ting on these nigs / Excuse me / I'm full of fiber / Turned your throne into a toilet/ For wifey she need it wider/ I like her ass so phat / She need a health care provider / All about my business / Last name should be propietor / Booked up year round / Early days late nighters / You gonna need some adderall / Cup of joe / Highlighters / To study all my shine / Designed like turpentine / I drop gems to make green / Movie like / When I write / FYI be the scene /A leading man / Directed to rubber bands / Featured on your record / Your label's staff / Is my fans / Too good with these spears / I apologize it's my bad / When I reign its more like an avalance / Kneel and kiss the ring / When I do my thing / It's top brass / The only good cops / Is the one found in a car crash/ Them groupies looking better / After I finish my shot glass/ Let's bump Chorus 1x Verse 3: Today's popularity / Is more like a parody / Try mimicking my greatness / I'm a man amongst parakeets / After modeling my video / She was wearing a pair of sheets / You feel in love with Thotiana / Now you in a class for parenting? / Was all in the club / If judgement come / I was perishing / Went from horny every week / To the baddest freak that was heavenly / Amazed at how God works / More than Frankie and Beverly / My influence in the game cemented/ F--k with me heavily / Shots fired in the hood / Aint inspiration for medley / Changed the tune on what's consumed / Weak rappers get felonies / Never miss a chance to demeanor / Social media thugs / That is weiners / Your blocks bluffing / C--k suckers / Pump faking / Posting pics / Next to your homie's beamer at a function / If you dont run for something / Walk for nothing / From the west to the east coast / I've been on that beast mode / Master of the bump / And I don't do it with cheat codes / Let's go Chorus 1x sound bite snippet

about

F.Y.I. Invented Green (FIG) is a hip-hop/rap EP from Mid-City Los Angeles rapper, F.Y.I. The album highlights the lead single, Trust Me, and intro track, The Bump, produced by a staple in the Los Angeles' beat maker world, Dale Danja. The bouncy track, Kill Game, was produced by an up and coming producer named Truth. Lastly, Rich Kidd (credits: Drake) a frequent collaborator of F.Y.I. blesses him with a banger called Legend of G.O.A.T. to round out the record. The title alone brings interest to fans from the very start. FIG is the follow up record to F.Y.I.'s last project, Age/Sex/Location, which became the #5 most added record on CMJ's College Radio Charts. FIG continues to lay the foundation for what many in hip-hop are learning to understand more and more about F.Y.I.'s artistry. For one, it's creative; and for two, it's inventive. Single handedly, FIG convinces you that F.Y.I. invented green and all the dope sh*t that comes from making it and seeing it in the world.
