Token - ROOKIE (Official Music Video)

Produced by Suave Lee & Brian "Nox" Eisner
Directed by Ben Proulx x Token

lyrics:

put on my hood, my hat, and my black jeans,
leaving the crib like I left a murder scene
blood on my shirt like a jersey with a team
leaving my prints like a runaway queen
so much weight on my shoulder I’m sitting with a lean
i got a girl with a temper so don’t intervene
i got so many people that want to join the team
to be next to a genius like carl and sheen
put on my hood, my hat, and my black boots
2 fingers in her and i think we made a truce
running in circles, I’m playing duck duck goose
you been heavy on my head, like an antler on a moose
really I better sit down
used to be the sh*t, how are you in the sh*t house?
used to run sh*t, how are you getting whipped now?
used to have a whip, how is it in the impound?
she dont got a kid, so she able to kid round
give the b*tch a binky like i’m calming a kid down
ima stay single till the fat lady singing away
the good thing cuz im a giver, i can can give her away
the bad thing about a feeling, is a feeling can good change
no matter who you end up with, they can wither away
a marriage is a lot of work, and it’s minimum wage
the best thing about a fling you can fling them away
pew

hook:

good girls always land flat on they feet
my girls always land back in the street
if you see em send them my regards, if you could
x2
mama taught me how to steal a heart like a crook
granny taught me how to treat the heart that I took
daddy taught me how to play chess
so I keep them all in check, and I keep my queen far from rook

verse 2:

i’m no rookie
money in the pocket of my rhinestone hoodie
growing on my tree where a pinecone should be
shove it in my locker like a high school bully
hoping and I’m praying that my life goes long
got me carrying a weapon like I’m sideshow bob
she was talking way too much I said I might doze off
bill gate b*tches making me micro-soft
bill gate b*tches making race for the check
elon musk cuz i need space from my x
life is all a balance and a race to the end
so my nights full of fun with the days of distress
good time but it came with a bad woman
foot the bill so many times that I’m flat footed
mom need a new car with a fat cushion
she was working every day for every day my dad wouldn’t
i been working every because who else is?
im going off, show it off like a new outfit
she on the bed, spread eagle like a true ‘merican
she made a grand opening, like a new outlet
the bad thing about a feeling, is a feeling can change
no matter who you end up with, they can wither away
a marriage is a lot of work, and it’s minimum wage
the best thing about a fling you can fling them away

WE NEED A WHOLE ALBUM ON THIS VIBE! YOUR VERSATILITY IS UNPARALLELED! 🔥🔥🔥

[OneDrumOfficial]

This is your best song so far. The song writing and flow has evolved AND ITS AMAZING . 27 year old Token gonna be CRAZY.

[NobleCubes]

Such a bizarre song, I absolutely love this experimental rap/ rhythm you’re bringing to the game it’s insane. Absolute 🔥

[AntwunTheDancer]

This is genuinely a 10/10 song, Toke. I'm actually speechless. You've risen to the next level of writing and song quality

[PapaQuill]

Another Token drop, another good day.

[Stirrups]

Been following this dude since Doozy. It's crazy to see how he's grown as an artist.

[AdderallAdvice]

Amazing as always token. Loving the beats and killing it as always ❤

[justinknight]

I really like the beat cause the bass wich is one thing that I like about alot of Token songs. This bass part of this beat kinda reminds me of the Code Red beat. And I usually dont really care for songs that talk about cheating or just fucking someone then just going right on to the next one or tossing em to the side cause I feel like its such a common theme in alot of music especially rap/hip hop and I feel like its one of the many negative toxic things that are often glamorized and made to seem "cool" when in reality those negative toxic things that are glamorized so much especially in rap/hip hop such as cheating, using people for things like sex then discard and throw them away like they're nothing, doing and selling drugs, gang banging and especially violence actually are not cool and can really destroy, hurt and even kill people and are part of why people are so toxic, do shitty things to each other and dont care about one another and destroy eachother. And I know alot of it is supposed to just be for entertainment and people should be intelligent enough to understand that its juat for entertainment and not let themselves become influenced by it and choose not to go out and try to imitate what they hear and see but sadly the truth is alot of people are too ignorant to understand that and are influenced by things like music, artists, movies/tv, and things like that especially when they look up to artists and then they think and feel like if they choose to try and imitate what they hear and see then maybe it will make them just as cool as they think the artists they try to imitate so then they wanna start going around cheating, using people for things like sex and then tossing em to the side once they use em, wanna do and sell drugs, wanna be in a gang, wanna be violent, carry guns and shoot eachother. Its not really the artists fault cause they are just making entertainment and its the listeners responsibility to be mature and intelligent enough to know its entertainment and to not let it influence them to want to try and imitate it. But I do feel theres so many songs that glamorize toxic negative things already and alot of artists juat make songs that talk about the same things over and over again and I wish more artists would become aware of the fact there are people that are too ignorant to understand its entertainment and that let themselves become influenced and try to imitate what they see and hear and that more artists would become more aware and conscious of what they say and do and put out into the universe and make muaic that glamorizes toxic negative things like cheating, using people, not caring about anyone but themself, drugs, gangs, violence and things like that less and glamorize positive things like maturity, mental health, spirituality, growth, caring about yourself and also others, being faithful and loving and fucking only one person, sitting down and talking things out instead of using violence and things like that. That's why i dont really care for songs that talk about alot of stuff like fucking someone then tossing em aside or cheating or violence but I am intelligent enough to know its entertainment but I do think that some of the analogies, puns, and word plays in this are pretty clever and funny and thats something that I like about alot of Token songs and when it comes to Token the ammount of talent, skill and the way token works towards perfecting the art of rapping is so incredibly good and just undeniable. I hands down think he is one of if not the best at the art of being able to rap especially freestyle!!

[brandonthompson]

Token has the most dynamic and eye-catching music videos. I am glued to my phone every time a new one drops, ill be rewatching this all weekend 🤣

[Valstein]

This and Code Red are two of the best rap videos of all time. It's so unique to see, in a genre dominated by toughness and bravado, the rapper looking around nervously and awkwardly, yet somehow still rocking the shit. Never thought a dance beat would make a good rap song but here's Token proving people wrong.

[Bongz_G]

the barsss in thiss and maintained flows is crazy impressive 🔥🔥

[burdman]

You can clearly see token’s growth as a song writer. Keep going homie, you’re killing it.

[thars]

Back on the game. Great song What a beat 🔊🔊

[bnjitfox]

Token this is absolutely fire bro 🔥🔥🔥 cant wait for the album to drop! Most underrated in the rap game and its not even close 🔥🔥🔥

[rorymartin]

The postman is back. Token always delivers.

[scottrhodes]

Im 52 been listening to rap and hip hop music for 45 years and there's very few game changers that come around and change the game.Token has brought the bar up literally!! He is a game changer !!

[samsaddler]

OMFG THIS SONG IS AMAZING! Crazy example of a club banger with a crazy beat while still have insane lyrics! Good job!! 12/10 stars for me!! 🥳

[EF-fulg]

I need Goldy on my spotify playlist ASAP. Thanks for another banger 🔥

[brytonwilson]

"Keep my queen far from my rook ♜" ❤ the chorus is amazing 🔥

[akashvyas]

i like that you’re dropping new songs frequently man
