Heres To The Grog

Lloyd · Other Songs - Lloyd

I've got a coat and a nobby, nobby coat

I've got a coat a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the sides are near wore out and the back is flying about

And the lining's looking out for better weather

Here's to the grog, boys, the jolly, jolly grog

Here's to the rum and tobacco

I've a-spent all my tin with the lassies drinking gin

And to cross the briny ocean I must wander

I've got me breeches, me nobby, nobby breeches

I've got breeches a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the pouch is near wore out and the seat's all flying about

And me knees are looking out for better weather

CHORUS

I've got me shirt, me nobby, nobby shirt

I've got a shirt a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the collar's near wore out and the sleeves are flying about

And me tail's looking out for better weather

CHORUS

I've got me boots, me nobby, nobby shirt



I've got boots a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the bottom's near wore out and the heals flying about

And me toes are looking out for better weather

CHORUS

I've got a tile, a nobby, nobby tile

I've got a tile a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the brim it is wore out and the crown is flying about

And the lining's looking out for better weather

CHORUS

Heres To The Grog

Lloyd's 'Heres To The Grog' stands as a quintessential example of his gritty, New York hip-hop style, blending raw vocal delivery with a hard-hitting beat that defines the mid-2000s underground scene. The track captures the artist's signature ability to weave complex narratives into his verses, often drawing from personal experiences and the streets of Brooklyn. While not tied to a specific major release, the song reflects the collaborative spirit and improvisational nature of Lloyd's work during this era, frequently appearing in mixtapes and digital compilations alongside tracks like 'Street Love'. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic sound, which prioritizes lyrical substance and rhythmic precision over polished production, cementing Lloyd's reputation as a formidable force in the East Coast rap landscape.
