PIGEONHOLED 02:15
Chorus: Pigeonholed I’m shitting on these bitches when they roll through Wish I would forgive and let it go But they said I couldn’t And I went and did it on my own two Now it’s time to spread my wings and go Verse 1: I flew threw the palm trees Saw you at arms reach Needed a hand but You laid down at palm beach Claim that I left you In sand that you brought by yourself And now you need my help like It’s our dream? Nah love I’m cool I just stopped by the pool If I baked me a cake Then I ate that shit too If I play me the bass 4 am hit the booth Early bird get the worm Now how you want my food? Ugh Chorus: Pigeonholed, I’m shitting on these bitches when they roll through Wish I would forgive and let it go (The wind is getting cold) But they said I couldn’t And I went and did it on my own two Now it’s time to spread my wings and go Verse 2: The cats in the cradle My dad is my label My friends are my reps And I’m managed by angels I work through the weekend I’m way more than able And tables’ll turn When we’re turnt on the table I do my own press And I wrote my own fables I sent ‘em 2 texts But their iPhone disabled The end of they day man If I’m just a product Then what can I say? I guess labels will label Chorus: Pigeonholed I’m shitting on these bitches when they roll through Wish I would forgive and let it go But they said I couldn’t Then I went and did it on my own two Now it’s time to spread my wings and go (It’s time to spread my wings and..)

LOCKED IN 02:18
Verse 1: Look me in my face Can I get a taste? Grab you the waist Keep up with the pace, baby I got what it takes Can we take it your place? Chorus: You could have me boxed in Send the pin that you just dropped in Find a place we could get lost in I don’t do this often But with you I’d need no option Baby me and you are locked in Post-chorus: Locked and I’m loaded You could have me in your hold babe You just want that whole thing All to your own You been on the ropes babe But can we skip the foreplay? Verse 2: Look me in my face (face, face, face) Can I get a taste (taste, taste, taste) Grab you by the waist (aye) Bottle of that ace, bub If we keep up the pace, love You could meet me at my place Chorus: You could have me boxed in Send the pin that you just dropped in Find a spot we could get lost in I don’t do this often But with you I’d need no option Baby me and you are locked in Post-chorus: Locked and I’m loaded You could have me in your hold babe I know you just want the whole thing All to your own You been on the ropes babe But can we skip the foreplay? Bridge: Look me in my face, can I get a taste? Grab you by the waist Uber at the gate and me and you just hopped in Me I’m from the Bay, You say you from MA I’ll be in New York a while So why we in LA if you from Boston? Chorus: You could have me boxed in Send the pin that you just dropped in Find a spot we could get lost in I don’t do this often But with you I’d need no option Baby me and you are locked in

Hook: Three little piggies I’m the wolf in a parka 2 middle fingers If the cuffs tryna lock us One in the chamber But forever be a rockstar Hands up boy I’m pissing on a cop car Verse 1: Tell ‘em boys settle in You gon’ catch smoke if you cigarette peddling You gon’ get choked if you use the wrong rhetoric Aye boy, don’t u know that your melanin a felony? You the scapegoats for the money they embezzling And watch ‘em raise toasts while you struggle to make bread again Medals made of gold for the shit that they meddle in I swear we done shed a tear for more than one too many kids If they don’t cooperate We got loot the corporates We done paid our dues Not knowing what the cost is Bitches brought a gun to a knife fight We forked it Bit the hand that fed us Well, which hand you think had forced it? Had us feeling nauseous Moving super cautious Red-taped government Yellow tape “caution” Until we in a coffin We be in the mosh pit Pissing on a cop car Throwing up a molotov cocktail Hook: Three little piggies I’m the wolf in a parka 2 middle fingers If the cuffs tryna lock us One in the chamber But forever be a rockstar Hands up boy I’m pissing on a cop (yuh) Three little piggies I’m the wolf in a parka 2 middle fingers If the cuffs tryna lock us One in the chamber But forever be a rockstar Hands up boy I’m pissing on a, pissing on a.. Verse 2: Phenka muh pe inke shoryuken Karna chahte qabza yahan jaise ye dorian Woh bole ye hai jung ka maidan, main Napoleon Rehta na mujh main zara bhi lihaaz You don't want it then Fuck you and your podium Farzi inki audience Darzi siley tab bhi phaate inki, Nickelodeon Ye flow kaafi bhaari, man I feel like Notorious Hum saare krantikaari Now y'all know what time it is! Ye dekhne wale mujhe hote flip Meethe ye thule saare Ek packet biscuit Mere bracket se bahar You in the shit list Daba nahi paate kyu ki Main inka kill switch Duniya mere liye choti jaise nose ring Nazare humari kainaat pe like Who you worshipping? Saath uppar wala, league main gods aur kings So fuck the government Likhayi ye ghazwa-e-hind!

Chorus: I’ve been on a one-way Riding down the road Thinking that I’ll someday Make my way back home Verse 1: I was drinking so much at the pregame that I missed the party I miss our dinner dates sippin’ sake at hibachi I miss my mama's cooking And dad’s Yamazaki He’d say he love my drive I’d steal his car keys Now I’m Riding over Plenty of space for 5 in my innova And if you got the light Then spark it up and slide it over It’s been a minute since I been sober But a couple more since I been home And we just hit the road I’m rolling like a stoner The city getting colder I know that class is over Time to tell them pretty bitches bring their asses over About the time my pretty ass was chauffeured Spent a long time running Been a long time coming on a one way Chorus: I’ve been on a one way Riding down the road Thinking that I’ll some day Make my way back home Verse 2: How the hell I miss a target If I’m out here mixing markets? Miss me with that bullshit I was bored so I just left the party People with no paper telling me to stay within the margins If they didn’t hear me out I bet you now they beg the pardon They want a belt to fasten And then a neck to garland I wanna come back home but They wanna rent apartments It’s when you make it out the farthest That the lights begins to darken I been driving for a while But I ain’t found a spot to park in Chorus: I’ve been on a one way Riding down the road Thinking that I’ll some day Make my way back home I’ve been on a one way Riding down the road Thinking that I’ll some day Make my way back home Bridge: Try to find my way but I get lost I know it’s been a while Hope that I still see you when I make it on the other side Chorus: I’ve been on a one way Riding down the road Thinking that I’ll some day Make my way back home

[Intro] Falling in love with a stranger I'm falling in love with a stranger.. [Verse 1] I’d text Jeh, 7th grade - “Meet me at the corner shop” He’d be in there in ten, ringing all the quarters up Throw a pack of 40's in Slide him 20 off the top We were barely 14 then But dude knew we were from the block Text Ary “What’s the lookout?” Hit back “What club to book out?” Mish and I been on a mission Texting him like “Get the rook out!” I call that moving straight All my boys been moving weight since age 3 Different dogs, same breed Things change I stay me Gossip like it’s page 3 Show up with the entourage You’d think that life was picture perfect HD No 360s I make p’s, don’t make peace (piece) And all the boys that’s falling off are piling on like Adi’s out here raking leaves! I’m making movies And my approval ratings through the roof and The more I shoot, it seems the tighter knit begin to loosen If my crew torn apart, I start to feel I’m in a soup and The ones I knew from ground up not the ones that’s out here routing The game is ruthless You act a nuisance and it’s through You know it’s useless when best friends won’t even manage you Question faith they had in you I text Raul “It’s sad but true” Try to cut 'em in but they don’t want nothing to have with you I’m falling.. [Bridge] Falling in love with a stranger Tonight, tonight has the flavor of love.. [Verse 2] I texted K the other day Another sorry, same story Don’t know why I hurt the ones willing to take the pain for me Mom the only one I call She say "Pick a lane already" Maybe I’m the one who change too much I take the blame for it No indicator on I’m pushing things to later on Friends say I don’t talk much Same ones don’t play my songs Go to clubs and play along I don’t wanna be out no more Like, what the fuck I’m celebrating? 22 and nothing changing Not a single thing to my name Except a few singles and signings I was so caught up in by-lanes I’m riding solo I’m driving My mind is so low Arriving at the same corner store from before Alone this time I haven’t felt this lonely in the longest time I walk behind, past the sign selling Henny-Goose Exchange a few words with the dude I’d slide a 20 to I hand him 20k He hands me a .22

about

Adi’s new EP, titled PIGEONHOLED, is set to release on the 16th of October, 2020. This five-track project truly exemplifies the range of Adi's songwriting ability and his knack for combining different areas of music to create innovative sounds.

Threaded together by elements of hip-hop, each track draws inspiration from different genres that Adi grew up on. From the funk-forward track “COP CAR”, a track that discusses the current socio-political climate around the world and features a fiery verse from Srinagar-based hip-hop artist Ahmer, to more melodic R&B cuts like “LOCKED IN”, which turn a solemn situation to a romantic ode to a significant other - this project marks a giant shift in Adi’s catalogue.
