In the vast universe of hip-hop, every so often, a track emerges that resonates with listeners on a profound level. Passport Bros by Bas and J. Cole is one such anthem. The song, a harmonious blend of beats, lyrics, and soul, encapsulates the essence of international camaraderie and the thrill of global exploration.

Let’s embark on a journey to understand the depth and allure of this musical masterpiece.

The Dynamic Duo: Bas and J. Cole

Bas and J. Cole are two of the most prominent artists under Dreamville Records, a label founded by J. Cole in 2007. The duo has collaborated on several songs before, such as Tribe, Lit, and Night Job. Their chemistry is undeniable, as they complement each other’s styles and skills.

Passport Bros is their latest collaboration, and it showcases their achievements and experiences as global hip-hop artists. Their verses, rich with anecdotes and reflections, transport listeners across continents, offering a front-row seat to their world travels.

J. Cole’s lyrics, in particular, exude his signature charisma and wit. He raps, “Yeah, Cole and Bassy, the passport bros/But we ain’t shelling out cash for hoes/No, I’m a little old fashioned/Coast to coast out in Shoko, smashing.” This line not only showcases his achievements but also paints a vivid picture of his world travels and experiences.

The Heartbeat of the Song: Its Lyrics

Passport Bros is a lyrical journey that delves deep into the psyches of two artists navigating the global stage. The song’s chorus, a catchy and soulful refrain, encapsulates the essence of their adventures: “No more dares, only truths, girl, how ‘bout we go?/Go up shelf, we not drinkin’ Casamigos/Are you impaired? You’re not there, but I’m a little/Clase Azul got me singin’, ‘I love you too’.”

The chorus reveals the duo’s preference for high-end tequila brands over Casamigos, a popular celebrity-owned brand. It also hints at their romantic encounters with foreign women, as they express their feelings under the influence of alcohol.

Bas, in his verses, touches upon the allure of different cultures, the bonds formed on the road, and the sheer joy of exploration. His lines, “Bassy, Captain Clase, girl, come drive my boat/Ring that bell, bet they follow wherever we go,” reflect the exhilaration of performing worldwide and connecting with diverse audiences.

The universal appeal of Passport Bros is palpable. From the bustling streets of New York to the serene beaches of Bali, the song has found its way into the hearts of millions. Its beats reverberate in clubs, its lyrics are hummed by fans, and its essence is celebrated as a symbol of global unity.

The track’s success isn’t just limited to streaming numbers or chart positions. It has sparked discussions about the evolving nature of hip-hop, the genre’s global reach, and the power of music to transcend borders and bridge cultures.

Conclusion

Passport Bros by Bas and J. Cole is an anthem for a generation that seeks connection in an increasingly globalised world. Through its beats, lyrics, and soul, the track celebrates the spirit of exploration, the joy of discovery, and the bonds formed along the way.

[Intro: Bas & J. Cole]
Clase Azul got me singin’, “I love you too”

[Chorus: Bas with J. Cole]
No more dares, only truths, girl, how ’bout we go?
Go up shelf, we not drinkin’ Casamigos
Are you impaired? You’re not there, but I’m a little
Clase Azul got me singin’, “I love you too”

Verse 1: Bas
Bassy, Captain Clase, girl, come drive my boat
Ring that bell, bet they follow wherever we go
DZL got that Captain Morgan, pour him three more
Then stand up, please
Let me see you put your hands on your knees

Chorus: Bas & J. Cole
No more dares, only truths, girl, how ’bout we go?
Go up shelf, we not drinkin’ Casamigos
Are you impaired? You’re not there, I’m a little
Clase Azul got me singin’, “I love you too”

Verse 2: Bas
Where you work on the weekend? Where you go on a Sunday?
Heard that place is the hot spot, I’ma take you to brunch there
I’ma get you the Rollie, I’ma take you to Italy
I’ma need you to show me everything that it’s gon’ be

Chorus: Bas & J. Cole
No more dares, only truths, girl, how ’bout we go?
Go up shelf, we not drinkin’ Casamigos
Are you impaired? You’re not there, but I’m a little
Clase Azul got me singin’

Verse 3: J. Cole
Yeah, Cole and Bassy, the passport bros
But we ain’t shelling out cash for hoes
No, I’m a little old fashioned
Coast to coast out in Shoko, smashing
Shots of Clase, me and lil Bassy in Barcelona
The news just dropped, I’m a partial owner
What can I say?
Tell Coach Cliff to suit me up and I’ll play, I’m winning
We at Tape Mayfair, you can’t get in
The little back room where not many fit in
The prettiest girls all be grinnin’, they say I’m they favorite
They want me to lay with, it’s blatant
Now we on our M.I.A. shit, we just hit playa
They’re playing the Durk song, damn, I’m on fire
A little redbone
She look like Mya and want me to try her, oh Lord

[Chorus: Bas & J. Cole]
No more dares, only truths, girl, how ’bout we go?
Go up shelf, we not drinkin’ Casamigos
Are you impaired? You’re not there, but I’m a little
Clase Azul got me singin’, “I love you too”
