Cordae has just dropped his new music video titled ‘Gifted’ featuring Roddy Ricch via Atlantic/[email protected]. Cordae teased the release date of his latest song on Wednesday and quote-tweeted a picture of him, Bennett, and Roddy that Bennett tweeted just minutes before dropping the song.
In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Cordae had talked about how he connected with Roddy to put this track together.
“We actually did that song last year, like last August,” he said. “So we did that song like a year ago. And Roddy is just like a homie of mine, like in real life, you know what I’m saying? We always connect, have real-life conversations. And I think we did Real Street Festival, we both did a festival that day. And then I pulled up on him at the studio and we made that song together that same night. It was definitely a dope process making that record, for sure.”
Cordae Gifted Lyrics
[Pre-Chorus: Ant Clemons]
Livin’ out my dream, my life is different (Different)
If I want it, then I’ma get it (Get it)
Living every day like it was Christmas
‘Cause I’m gifted (Ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (Ah, ah, ah)
And I know that I’m gifted (Ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (Ah, ah, ah)
‘Cause I’m gifted
[Chorus: Cordae & Roddy Ricch]
Uh, I got a whole lotta people that’s been countin’ on me
Got this bad lil’ shawty goin’ down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like, “Voilà”
I told niggas that I would make it, they said, “No way”
Watch them niggas that might eat up off of your plate
They caught me slidin’ on the E-Way with the hеat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crossеs but I still keep a piece
[Verse: Cordae & Roddy Ricch]
See, I was twelve years with the Tommy fit
Fifteen, crankin’ “Bobby Bitch”
I was seventeen years on this Earth
When I popped a Perc’, made my body itch
Need a pound of blow when I’m drownin’ slow
I was down below, word to Roddy Ricch
We was slap-boxin’, no Karate Kid
Start to see the difference with a lotta shit
And my grandma got a lotta kids
Bought whips foreign, no mileages
Hit Saks Fifth and got a Prada fit
But I still got a lotta wallet
Shit, nigga, this the shit that I asked for
‘Member last year I was mad poor
Seen my momma cry over homicides
Now she down to fly, she got a passport
And my brother locked for a backdoor
Got my grandma a new Jaguar
Big body whips like Shaq car
No credit, check, straight cash, card
Nigga, no stress, I progress
That’s Mos Def like Black Star
Seen the future in my Audemars
Stack paper, don’t do no facade
[Chorus: Cordae & Roddy Ricch]
Uh, I got a whole lotta people that’s been countin’ on me
Got this bad lil’ shawty goin’ down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like, “Voilà”
I told niggas that I would make it, they said, “No way”
Watch them niggas that might eat up off of your plate
They caught me slidin’ on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece
[Pre-Chorus: Ant Clemons]
Livin’ out my dream, my life is different (Different)
If I want it, then I’ma get it (Get it)
Living every day like it was Christmas
‘Cause I’m gifted (Ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (Ah, ah, ah)
And I know that I’m gifted (Ah, ah, ah)
And I know what my gift is (Ah, ah, ah)
‘Cause I’m gifted
[Chorus: Cordae & Roddy Ricch]
Uh, I got a whole lotta people that’s been countin’ on me
Got this bad lil’ shawty goin’ down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like, “Voilà”
I told niggas that I would make it, they said, “No way”
Watch them niggas that might eat up off of your plate
They caught me slidin’ on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece
