What is “On Sight” about?

"On Sight" is a statement of readiness, built on moving without hesitation and showing up whether or not anyone is watching. Kairo West takes Muhammad Ali's footwork and Satchmo's trumpet as touchstones, frames his rise as "Atlanta to the world," and turns the hook into a promise to bring light every time the room goes dim. As the opening track of Baldwin Bus Receipt, it sets an early tone of confidence and forward motion.

On Sight lyrics

On sight we moving on sight no hesitation
Muhammad showed the footwork now I'm floating through the nation
Every beat I'm snapping like a Polaroid sensation
Atlanta to the world this is the great migration
Bounce back quicker than the economy inflation
Hard work pay the bills forget the speculation
Keep it real forever that's the only reputation
On sight we lock and load for every situation

On sight on sight we go on sight
Every time they dim the room we bring the light
On sight on sight we live on sight
Catch us making history every single night

Satchmo blew the trumpet I'm just blowing up the spot
Everything I touch is getting hotter when it's hot
Running with the vision and I'm giving all I got
On sight means I'm ready whether or not they watch
Stack the wins and stack the lessons that's a double shot
Every day is game day never sitting in the lot
They wanted me to fold but I refused to let it rot
On sight is how we operate connect the dot

On sight on sight we go on sight
Every time they dim the room we bring the light
On sight on sight we live on sight
Catch us making history every single night

Lock in go time
Every second on the frontline

On sight on sight we go on sight
Every time they dim the room we bring the light
On sight on sight we live on sight
Catch us making history every single night
