Apollo Brown & Skyzoo with yet another visual. This time for “No Discounts,” the 2nd single from their popular new album “Luxury Tax”.
Ten years after their acclaimed 2016 album The Easy Truth, the Detroit producer and Brooklyn emcee reunite for a new chapter, continuing timeless production, razor-sharp lyricism, and the chemistry that made their first project a modern underground classic.
“The idea behind ‘No Discounts’ is centered around what we all have had to give up at some point or another, all for what we see as the greater good,” Skyzoo says. “After so much of that sacrifice, it gets to a point where we have to look out for ourselves and say ‘you’ve benefited from my sacrifice and humility for awhile now, this time there’s no discounts’. Apollo and I have been successful in our careers by doing things on our terms, and sometimes those terms come with sacrifices for us honoring our culture and paying to forward. This time around, while still looking out for y’all, we’re looking out for us. No discounts on this ride.”
Apollo Brown & Skyzoo – No Discounts lyrics:
As long as I been here for freeeee
Ain’t gonn’ be no discounts
The price is everything you seeeeee
Everything you spend now
When they was talking culture
With a barcode
We was giving carloads
Now we back around
For what y’all all owe
As long as I been here for freeeee
Ain’t gonn’ be no discounts
The price is everything you seeeeee
Everything you spend now
When they was talking culture
With a barcode
We was giving carloads
Now we back around
For what y’all all owe
Open the window let that, be what you taught to get back, grow up to rep that
Halfway out where the window ledge at, I can respect that
I was doing the same, exact, ducking a death trap
Free game, pulled up to catch that and keep what they kept back
From where you idolize what a camera shows
But hide ’til them cameras broke, ’til y’all bought that banner home
I watched my man milly it outside as a stand alone
But he’d have to wait to get more supply if his nana home
That’s how adolescence works, lesson learned, I was on the steps, turned
All the gospel I wound up giving out, blessings emerged
Concrete sketch a Church, prayer hands sketching the lane
Turned this into “Volume Two” dancing with “Sketches of Spain”
Hard knock life in concierto
I put a Harmon mute to the erasers on their earlobes
Now picture what you heard there, cleaned up everything outta necessity
And took the prices off of solidarity
As long as I been here for freeeee
Ain’t gonn’ be no discounts
The price is everything you seeeeee
Everything you spend now
When they was talking culture
With a barcode
We was giving carloads
Now we back around
For what y’all all owe
As long as I been here for freeeee
Ain’t gonn’ be no discounts
The price is everything you seeeeee
Everything you spend now
When they was talking culture
With a barcode
We was giving carloads
Now we back around
For what y’all all owe
They say respect will get you everywhere
But sometimes respect will only get you so far and it’s so far that they just left you there
Leave me where I be and I’ll meet y’all back at the front
The loser planting the seeds for the flowers the winner wants
My affinity’s for money trees, first one out to get this dough
Dodging bucket headed hoes
They the same in Brooklyn as in Compton when they get alone
We treat all them parallel
Jumping off a stoop like we was jumping off a caravel
Cutting through the waves for all this change from where the cost lands
Been out here so long son they shooting dice with their off hand
True as the floor plan where y’all stand on any given night
Muscle on the corner like Israelites
Skyler the art kid from out a small apartment down in his younger days
Plate full to the brim but still suffered from hunger pains
It never be enough when your window’s as wide as mine was
One hand free to open the blinds up, fully loaded
As long as I been here for freeeee
Ain’t gonn’ be no discounts
The price is everything you seeeeee
Everything you spend now
When they was talking culture
With a barcode
We was giving carloads
Now we back around
For what y’all all owe
As long as I been here for freeeee
Ain’t gonn’ be no discounts
The price is everything you seeeeee
Everything you spend now
When they was talking culture
With a barcode
We was giving carloads
Now we back around
For what y’all all owe
