about

Jazz Rap vets and former Nujabes collaborators, Substantial & Funky DL team up for the candid new single 'Say Less' featuring R&B vocalists Precious Joubert. Sub delivers stellar bars like "Illusionists, Pen & Teller, I can pen it better / Broke as f**k at the ball, damn you slipping Cinderella" over DL's mellow keys, buttery bass, and boom-bap drums.

'Say Less' is the debut single from their upcoming EP and mini-doc, "We Met In Tokyo" produced entirely by Funky DL with vocals by Substantial.

lyrics

Say less

Who am I to talk? Actually, I’m paid to do just that
Hit’em with just facts, truth ugly as muskrats
Been in the lab just cookin’ up tracks
Tight lip for a nice bit. This ain’t a comeback, it's Ong Bak
I’m Jaa, Tony with beats and flows instead of knees and ‘bows
But there’s no need to boast, don’t need my ego stroked
My track record’s my interpreter
Good with supporters y’all be thirstin’ for the worshippers
Namaste! I’ma play my role like Maharshla
No impact without an act, get to working bruh
Turn it up, the moment I said less my streaming spiked
Earned enough, but I can’t exit ‘til my team is right
Er'one’s a boss. They ain’t paying nobody
Er'one’s a gangsta but they ain’t no Gotti
Er'body say they know the code but they straight snitching
Er'body know a lot but they action say different

Er'ry post don't need a comment
Er'ry pic don't need a like
Er'ryone don't need an audience
And er'ry open mouth don't need a mic
Say Less
Ain’t what you know it’s what you do
Let the work you put in be the proof
Say Less
You ain’t gotta tell me that you’re real
In time everything will be revealed
Say Less

I ain’t gotta tell you, you follow my drift
But it’s a race to the top, many opp for a lift
Wanna tell you ‘bout their drive and hope you offer a tip
Then turn around and act you like ain’t come along for the trip
But you was there ‘fore they were talkin’ their shit and showboatin’
Just floatin' with no wind in their sails, no motion
Illusionist, Penn & Teller, I can pen it better
Broke as fuck at the ball, damn you slippin' Cinderella
Just an image seller, stock photos, they are not thorough
Claim to be the realest ever, who gon' vouch for ya
Not a soul!
Your own people hardly believe you
We see more than we hear and you saying more than you need to
Er'one’s a boss. They ain’t paying nobody
Er'one’s a gangsta but they ain’t no Gotti
Er'body say they know the code but they straight snitching
Er'body know a lot but they action say different

Er'ry post don't need a comment
Er'ry pic don't need a like
Er'ryone don't need an audience
And er'ry open mouth don't need a mic
Say Less
Ain’t what you know it’s what you do
Let the work you put in be the proof
Say Less
You ain’t gotta tell me that you’re real
In time everything will be revealed
Say Less

I’m just trying to give'em some game
Don’t matter if I yell it, they never hear what I’m saying
Then a stranger roll up and they damn near tell’em the same
And they totally forget that I put that shit in their brain
They're too close to the picture they can’t even see the frame
How I brought it together so why bother to explain
I put the plan into action now my passion turned to gains
And now they circling back so I can help them do the same
Say no more!

Say Less
I got you
I got you, bruh
It's all love
Say Less

Say Less
Ain’t what you know it’s what you do
Let the work you put in be the proof
Say Less
You ain’t gotta tell me that you’re real
In time everything will be revealed
Say Less
