Song of the Day: St. Panther – Highway / Infrastructure

February 2, 2021 Peter Kimpton
The talented St Panther aka Daniela Bojorges-Giraldo

The talented St Panther aka Daniela Bojorges-Giraldo

Slick rapping, rhythmic laughter, sand a super-tight funk sound are just some of the elements that make the young LA-based singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniela Bojorges-Giraldo a huge talent to watch. Both songs move along cleverly with an underlying transport metaphor, and come from her 2020 EP These Days. There is also a remix version of Infrastructure. More of her music can be enjoyed on her website and other usual media. Out on Atlantic, Nice Life Recording Company and How So Records.

Okay, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
Alright, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
(Please don’t tread on me, no)
Okay, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
(Show me some love)
Ha haha
Haha ha, haha

It’s unbelievable
This shit is physical
And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout smoking on some shit
I’m blasting from my head to my bones
Never think I’ve done this before
And when you leave me at the door
Tell me why you always hang back for more
If you fuck with me, I’ll put my heart on a plate
In a van while we’re traveling state to state
Show love on a mic all around the world
That’s right, that’s right, I’m your golden girl
If you fuck with me I’ll probably take you to the top
Conversations with the clock, nah, they never stop
No time left to sleep so I relapse, just need feedback
Hey, can you run my beat back?

Okay, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
Alright, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
(Please don’t tread on me, no)
Okay, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
(Show me some love)
Ha haha
Haha ha, haha

Like a Chrysler, baby
I hopped in your soul, hello Corolla
See that Motorola drifting on silent a while
Let’s turn it over
Wishing on a four-leaf clover
That they never knock me down when my feet let up
They always try to knock you down when your feet let up
But I said no, please don’t leave me on my driveway
I’ve been bleeding the time
Why you think I’m so good with my hands motherfucker?
I can’t come down
Even when I try, I’m floating
So you can’t even pretend
That you can’t see me coming
Baby, this like a highway
So many miles I’m driving, hey

Okay, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
Alright, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
(Please don’t tread on me, no)
Okay, ha ha ha
Haha ha, haha
(Show me some love)
Ha haha
Haha ha, haha

Highway is a song I wrote over a year ago about embodying the energy that comes with being an artist, how at times the most exciting part about it is operati...

Come here, girl
I haven't practiced in a long time
So show me where I'm frustrated
Infrastructure got me on another plane
Come here, baby
It's too late
To ask my driver to turn his ass around
I guess I'm stuck arriving looking like a fool
I guess I'm stuck accessorizing
Your eyes are mesmerizing
I'm up here hypnotized and

Oh, oh, oh, I guess I gotta get this right
Oh, oh, oh, I guess I can't get this wrong
Oh, oh, oh, I guess I gotta get this right
Oh, oh, oh, I guess I can't get this wrong

Now, if you're fucking with this shit you're obtuse
Probably gonna catch it on the afternoon news
Got one last chance to impress these motherfuckers
If not, I'ma end up on the afternoon news
In the suburbs like, “Bitch, what's up?”
Hit the west side like, “Bitch, what's up?”
East side treat me like, “Hey, what's up?”
But hometown treat me like (What the fuck did you say?)
Stunting on these bitches like I'm paid half time
Like, when these execs gone treat me right?
'Cause if I’m stuntin' on these motherfuckers in your club
Muhfuckers better know you gon' pay my ride
Respect my right to get down
Never knowing when I'm gonna ever come around
So come correct when I come to get down
Man, these people better play this all over town

Oh, oh, oh, I guess I gotta get this right
I guess I gotta this right, I guess I gotta get this right, come on, come on
Oh, oh, oh, I guess I can't get this wrong
So shorty don't take too long, tell your shorty don't take too long, come on, come on
Oh, oh, oh, I guess I gotta get this right
I guess I gotta this right, I guess I gotta get this right, come on, come on
Oh, oh, oh, I guess I can't get this wrong
So shorty don't take too long, tell your shorty don't take too long, come on, come on
