about

In 1986 RUN-DMC released an ode for their favorite sneakers “My Adidas” that changed culture forever. Fast forward 32 years — different New York City kids same story but different brand (BAPE). G5 Elz tells you why he loves BAPE over a murky bass driven production by Tito Fiasco alongside additional vocals by Burton.

lyrics

[Intro] (Burton)
You know what I mean you definitely gotta scoop them shawties in them M88 Bapesta’s the high top joints

[Intro continued] (Elz)
A Bathing

[Intro continued] (Burton)
Looking like she got styled by Nigo himself know what I’m sayin? I got that old school 05’ skating design. You don’t even know about that shit.

[Pre hook] (Elz)
I be sharked up tiger down camo on my
sharked up tiger down camo on my
sharked up tiger down camo on my

[Verse 1] (Elz)
I was a milo when I brought my first hoodie
Rode the “R” to Prince
Jester beneath coat commencing hooky
Watching Pharrell and the Clipse influenced me wear it
Next day in school, had senior Diamond fiddling her earrings
Older dudes announced me fresh,
Older woman let me holla
Cause I had a contract phone and my T-Shirt a hundred dollars
Put my homies on, Manny brought a polo for his birthday outfit lost the bag in Wendy’s, Called his bank and said he never swiped it
I met Ferg at the store when vacating the door
Trailed him upstairs, initiated rapping of course
Said he couldn’t put me on, gotta put his niggas on
Changed in his BAPE jacket, Then a camera started flashing he was!


[Hook] (Elz)
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my back now
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my back now
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my


[Verse 2] (Elz)
I HATE FAKE BAPE! THAT AINT A SHARK ITS FISH BAPE!
LINE UP ENTER THE STORE , DON’T COP BAPE!
TRADE BAPE , YELLOW MARKS UNDER YOUR ARM BAPE!
WORN BAPE , LINT BALLS ON YOUR CHEST BAPE!
I LOVE DRAGON BALL CAMO TAGS, HARD TO GET GET’EM MAD ,
CHICKS IN CUT N SEW , THAT WON’T SNAG MY HOODIE WHEN I SMASH
I NEED MY OWN BAPE CHARACTER, HIM AND BABY MILO UP TO MISCHIEF IS THE NARRATIVE
I NEED FREE BAPE LIKE SWEEPSTAKES LIFETIME SUPPLY WON’T NEED BAPE
NIGO BEATS SO I CAN APE AND MAKE A BATHING TAPE

[Hook] (Elz)
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my back now
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my back now
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my
Sharked up, Tiger down
Camo on my

[Outro] (Elz)
A Bathing!
