about

If you purchased “The Grendel” , or even really so much as heard the album, then no doubt you have ran across what seems to be our flagship super badass song.
Here lemme make that a bit more technical, in “The Regatta” , I (that is Saint Tellah presently at your service) make an effort to incorporate , advanced timing and cadences for that song that you enjoy, in addition it is fortified with vivid imagery and enough glorious goumption to get you through the most intense of times. I wanted to do a remix of “The Regatta” because I felt like the song was too powerful to let go on one song and let that be it… On the new version of The Regatta you will find the cadence, that is my delivery is far clearer than it has ever been previously, you will also notice that we have added some theatrical elements if you will to the song – i.e. the lion roars and things like that. “The Regatta” is not just a song it’s a mood, its that last push in everyone, that last bit of nerve that will never give up. And I feel like this version captures more that aspect of what I wanted the song to bring to the table.

lyrics

Chorus
Full sail regatta / if you got it then you got it / if not then its not an option / most people settle never fulfilling their callin’ / spilling the milk and bawling / turning yellow and jaundice / penny loafers and pompous
2x
I’ll beat the brakes off and ape it the top of the eighth / and pull the spine out the swine in the top of the nine / and by the end of the game they’ll remember name / Mr.Saint at the gates been dangling chains

Verse 1
I never learned the meaning of quit / fully equipped / swinging them fists / never seen me in a grip / homie I rip / don’t think I’m rude because I’m speaking in spit / and breath flame til the ceiling is lit / speech game got ya team in a grip / never stop hella raw when I’m getting it on / emcee’s in the corner and they pleading the fifth / Tellah on bet it all man I’m ready to fall / emcees in the corner and they pleading the fifth / been poor been broke like most my life / I aint quite black and I aint quite white / I don’t speak Spanish so the spics don’t like me / they threw a bottle when I was kid just riding / on my bike outside excited / mama inside at night she fighting / and she’d holler and she'd scream / that and stomping were the sound of my dreams / so homie you don’t scare me not a little bit o' barely / ya sweeter than Ben n’ Jerry’s / ya needing a lil’ fairy dust to be fly / seed in a cemetery while I lust to be live / confused / Company move / a little bit of liquor got me feeling the mood / ready willing to prove the illest villain you knew / an see the name Saint Tellah wasn’t nothing to them / but I made a name spitting not sucking a dick / coming to grips ya girl nuttin to this / and if you wanna get it busy gotta couple of fists / and nothing to lose / so step inside the grinder and I’ll crumble ya crew / an it’s not like I’m the brightest but ya’ll bumbling fools - In this life you gotta hustle / tooth nails an knuckles / juke fail to fumble / two bells to rumble / in truth these fools is too frail and buckle / fuckin’ punks

Chorus
Full sail regatta / if you got it then you got it / if not then its not an option / most people settle never fulfilling their callin’ / spilling the milk and bawling / turning yellow and jaundice / penny loafers and pompous
2x
I’ll beat the brakes off and ape it the top of the eighth / and pull the spine out the swine in the top of the nine / and by the end of the game they’ll remember name / Mr.Saint at the gates been dangling chains

Verse 2
Going for mine / I ain’t pillaging schools / adrenaline fueled / the mission is you / the listeners who / deliver the oohs ahhs and the sinister views / gettin’ in tune / and steadily move / the heavenly muse / better me fool / never happen less you rappin’ and a referee too / Subaru move / G-Reddy to tune / a Mario Andretti when I get in the mood / putting the pedal to the metal never setting the cruise / its funny rappers only spittin’ while I’m ‘effing’ the booth / I know its questionable / you can’t wrestle the truth / I’m a bad man in a regular dude / so what you ready to brew / eleven dub an a deuce / it aint nothing muh-fucka when I’m ready to roost / already in the lead and I’m pressing the boost / on some hot rod vroom / knock knock who? / killing em soft when I’m a tick tock boom / quick draw dude / and the dick strong too / licking a shot you only spit raw juice / hitting the stars and I’m a lift off soon / big strong moose and a pissed off bull / add a little abuse and then you got yours true / you already had the pudding / here's a lot more proof / that I’m the goose get loose puke top shelf booze / and when I put my shit together then the cocktails smooth / I came to bring the pain / aim to please your dame / take your piece of steak / an make your beef fillet / illah, realer, and harder hitter The Saint / claiming that they rappin and not fulfillin' the name / claiming that their rappin for rockin' a grill and chain / I wish they’d fall asleep in traffic and crash on the interstate…

Chorus
Full sail regatta / if you got it then you got it / if not then its not an option / most people settle never fulfilling their callin’ / spilling the milk and bawling / turning yellow and jaundice / penny loafers and pompous
2x
I’ll beat the brakes off and ape it the top of the eighth / and pull the spine out the swine in the top of the nine / and by the end of the game they’ll remember name / Mr.Saint at the gates been dangling chains
