Champagne Duane drops off his first single of 2020 with an uptempo tribute to Notorious B.I.G. titled “Birthdays.” Sampling the hip hop classic “Juicy,” Champagne Duane gives praise to Biggie while celebrating his own born day over the funky instrumental provided by TOPE. Originally, Duane and TOPE connected while living in Portland and again a few years later when both of them coincidentally relocated to Oakland, California. After finding out they were neighbors, Duane came to TOPE with the idea for “Birthdays” and the two built the song from scratch in-studio, with Duane deciding what sample feel and tempo he wanted to go with. Featuring some additional vocals from TOPE, Champagne Duane flows with ease over “Birthdays” displaying an air of confidence and swag that shines through on the track.

LYRICS

Intro

Hook 1
I was dead broke on my [birthdays]
Now the honies play me close on my [birthdays]
Now it’s time to get paid on my [birthdays]
Glow up like Dwyane Wade on my [birthdays]
And all I really want for my [birthdays]
Is to see us all in front cuz my [birthdays]
Was the worst days
And now we drink champagne when we thirsty

Verse 1
I’m zoom zoomin’ with the speakers boomin’, Metro
I’m gassed up with this full tank, Petro
I’m feelin’ funky in the fresh Fila, retros
And nobody could stop me so, leggo
Got the Dolce on the wrist beamin’, neck glow
Oh I’m drippin’ in that sauce baby, pesto
You can hate me now but I got the, best flow
And it’s time for me to let the whole U, S know
You been jockin’ my style from the, get go
I’m the one, we don’t need two, echo
Tell me why you always hatin’, why don’t you, FO
Oh you mad ’cause I’m flyer than U, FO
Look, don’t push me ’cause I’m close to the, edge yo
And I’m really tryin’ not to lose my, head yo
If it pop I’ma pop like a Pro, secco
Knuck if you buck but you better duck, get low
‘Cause it’s yo

Hook 2

Bridge
You damn right i like the life i live
You damn right i like the life i live
(3x)
You damn right i like the life i live
Because I went from negative to positive and it’s all

Verse 2
It’s all good
Negative to positive, the checks have been deposited, it’s all love
And stress is not an option kid
So if you mad at the flow, go that way bro
I’m with my whole crew loungin’ in the front of the bar
A school of foreign women like we study a broad
Ha ha ha ha ha, she feelin the liquor
Shorty’s throwing it back, we runnin that flea flicker
Don’t hurt me baby, don’t hurt me baby
Just work it baby, oh that’s perfect baby
It’s my birthday baby, I need a piece of that cake
Just don’t desert(dessert) me, I still got a milly to make
I’m showing off of course, I’m a better design
I never thought it could happen, I’m gettin better with time
And the air up here is as clear as it looks
Another dollar, ‘nother year in the books
Biggie bring in the hook

Hook 3
