Lyrics
Green apple Now and Later, taste it on my tongue still
Yeah, I said I hate ya, but you know that ain't real
Green apple Now and Later, hard until it break through
Sweet for just a second, then it's back to what I make do
[Verse 1]
Summer '09, that bodega freezer had a bad hum
Felt the sticky wrapper under my dirty little thumb
He said, "Mi'ja, don't you chew it too fast, you gonna cut your gum."
Watched him count the pennies out, I was playin' deaf and dumb
Same corner I be posted on, different kinda heat now
Same sugar crash I'm chasin' on a different kinda street now
Got a bubblegum pop in my flow they can't defeat now
But the taste of that cheap candy, man, that memory's complete, how?
[Chorus]
Green apple Now and Later, taste it on my tongue still
Yeah, I said I hate ya, but you know that ain't real
Green apple Now and Later, hard until it break through
Sweet for just a second, then it's back to what I make do
[Verse 2]
It's 4 AM again, the D train goin' uptown
Got my nails done chrome, a shield for when the mood's down
Dude across the car is starin', givin' me the look
I give him back the sour patch face I practiced from the book
He don't know the password, don't know the secret handshake
Don't know the Jolly Rancher scar I got for goodness sake
Thinkin' 'bout that cheap-ass candy makes my armor shake
Just a little bit, a tiny crack before I'm wide awake
[Chorus]
Green apple Now and Later, taste it on my tongue still
Yeah, I said I hate ya, but you know that ain't real
Green apple Now and Later, hard until it break through
Sweet for just a second, then it's back to what I make do
[Bridge]
(Harp solo — clean, arpeggiated, and melodic over the hard 808 and hi-hats for 4 bars. Gigi ad-libs quietly: "Like… what was that?" "Forget it.")
[Chorus]
Green apple Now and Later, taste it on my tongue still
Yeah, I said I hate ya, but you know that ain't real
Green apple Now and Later, hard until it break through
Sweet for just a second, then it's back to what I make do
[Outro]
Yeah… you know that ain't real.
Stupid.
About Gigi Glick
Gigi Glick was born to the beat of the Bronx. Her father, a session drummer for 90s hip-hop royalty, tried to teach her funk, but she fell in love with the sound of drill echoing from passing cars. Now, armed with her dad's old MPC and a mouthful of candy-coated threats, the self-proclaimed "Bodega Princess" is making the menacingly sweet soundtrack for her neighborhood. She calls it drill-pop…
