about

Mint is a dope track, and when i found the beat online i knew i wanted it featured on my project. Mint in the Boston area means dope; cool.. Its like old slang though. Anyways I wanted to add the "Go Brooklyn" sample in there to really capture the essence of hiphop and i think it blended really well.

As far as the lyrics, I rap about how i grew up and seeing how far i've came.

lyrics

But now Everything Is Mint tho...
Yeah everything is Mint tho..
Ayo everything is Mint tho..
I swear everything is Mint yo..
But now Everything Is Mint tho...
Yeah everything is Mint tho..
Ayo everything is Mint tho..
I swear everything is Mint yo..

Uh They wonder why I'm on a war path.. use to microwave water, so I could take a whores bath.. been through hell and back for all them years, no spring chicken, man I entered my autumn years. During the toughest times, all I did was just relax and read, and put my hood on like I was in assassins creed. But now everything is mint, I left a message in the bottle, and haven't seen me since.. take the hint. motherfucker.. I was told i have the gift of gab.. in my response was I'm only scalping with the clay I have.. created something out of nothing, and niggas fell behind so they’re claiming that I’m fronting. Yo.. I'm chasing the ghost of Bedford-Stuyvesant.. West Medford own, don't question me like Iverson, dude thinks we're rivaling, to me it's really just misleading, its the Mandela effect or my memories misleading.. (but it's still Mint tho..)

But now Everything Is Mint tho...
Yeah everything is Mint tho..
Ayo everything is Mint tho..
I swear everything is Mint yo..
But now Everything Is Mint tho...
Yeah everything is Mint tho..
Ayo everything is Mint tho..
I swear everything is Mint yo..

Uh, And it's on back home, lap dances in the ruins of the combat zone. trying not to get stoned, because the high is really overrated, and not to have a cloudy mind is like an understatement.. Ugh, I'm still as sound as a dollar bill, and can be found between oak grove to forest hills, I know this city like the back of my hand, from riding shotgun back in the day, with my old man, you know, I never understood, but now I kinda understand. Why raising me, in his hood, wasn't part of his plan. But um, I was the one to escape, and if I ever move back it'd be the Lawrence Estates.. or somewhere out in the woods.. all I really need is like a couple acres, and a few miles away from the trouble makers.. yeah, these niggas treasure my trash.. and good for you, if you really want a fucking broad that I smashed.. (It's still mint tho)

But now Everything Is Mint tho...
Yeah everything is Mint tho..
Ayo everything is Mint tho..
I swear everything is Mint yo..
But now Everything Is Mint tho...
Yeah everything is Mint tho..
Ayo everything is Mint tho..
I swear everything is Mint yo..
