Notion has been putting in serious work for the past three to four years now, and his debut mixtape, It’s My Turn… documents his last couple of years of rhyme. Featuring production from GMC and DJ Dub Kay (who also mixed the release), alongside some of the hottest beats from recent times, and with guest appearances from Cee-For, Bekah, GMC, and Esscay to name a few, It’s My Turn… is set to create a serious dent in the scene and cement Notion as a name to watch out for.
Includes unlimited streaming of It's My Turn...The Mixtape
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
[Verse]
It just started in front of a smoke screen,
& when the shit cleared, I pictured such a different scene,
I found my fingers classy on a wine glass, & that,
My arms are wrapped around, such a fine piece of ass,
Unsure of where im at, feelin' slow, im havin' fun tho',
All I hear is clappin hands, & the smell of that hydro,
Feelin' like im blindfold, coz everything's blurry,
We could be here all night, but yo im not in a hurry,
Im enjoyin every minute, coz im fiendin this moment,
& like the boy Marshall said, you gotta squeeze it & hold it,
But I glance over the stage, & to my surprises,
There were the world's greatest artists, i'd be idolisin',
Includin' Ghost, Big L, & Nas yo, im losin' control,
Common, Kanye, & oh my god, its Young Hov!!,
My jaw dropped, heart skipped, I lost my cup,
I fuckin give myself a pinchin', but I dont wake up, (16)
Im lookin for anyone I know, but yo, who cares,
Im in a room, filled wit muh-fuckin millionaires,
They cop a, million stares, before im stumblin' over,
Bumped a dude rollin a dutch, think ive started a war!,
Avoidin' em all, im scared now, im playin the wall,
& yall, im really trippin out, thinkin i've been here before,
Such a rigoris roar, crowd like a jet plane, soarin',
The vibe's bitchin', drippin, in the sweatbox, boilin',(24)
Oh.. shit I really needed a breather,
Wit all that duckin & creepin, from that kid wit the heater,
I finally stand up, & recover my footing,
& outta everyone here, im facin the homie wit the hoodie,
Feelin' my blood bubble, damn, im ready for a tussle,
Fight me like a man, I ain't afraid to raise my knuckles,
Exchangin' left's & wicked right's, feel the delight,
Of knockin' some muthafuckers heads, unconscious tonight,
I got no, conscious right, gettin' closer to the stage,
Decreasing levels of rage, but im still in a daze,(34)
Im really amazed, that I ain't been thrown out yet,
Then I see the chick from the start, in a new outfit,
She over in the V.I.' damn fine, P., section,
Sittin' over there sippin' that Don' P, selection
She holla'd at me yo, & I was there in a second,
Sayin' wat up mah, so have ya peeped my new record?,
Tellin' me wats good, mami's whispered in my ear,
Informin' me of the situation, im in right here,
Sayin' to, act clouded, coz they got me all surrounded,
Got 99 problems, but this one, can't be grounded,(44)
Emotionally astounded, of who I can see,
Probably 3 units of SWAT, staring at me,
You gotta be kiddin me B, now im clearin' the joint,
Red dots everywhere, so they ain't missin' at wat they point,(48)
Startin' to move, im snappin' outta this cruisier mood,
And I wake up!! & fucken hell, im stil in my room!!,
Wat the hell, did I do, & better, where did I go?,
Did I pass out, but nah, my jar's stil full of dro,
Seein them idols on the wall, im trippin' out man,
On my desk a chewed up pen, & some dribble on my notepad,
I push myself up, wipe the mess off my face,
& then I realized, that shit that I just smoked, must be laced...,(56)
