This is a song about doing more than just holding on
Through these streets, all the conscious people
We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on
Through these beats, I will conquer evil
We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong
Something about this music and the way that we produce it
Something you ain't used to, what could I to but make them [?]
What would I do but stay true to this stuff, be the most-wanted with out letting them claim you in the cuffs
It's three hots and a cop, better than what you already got
You want to better your life, feeling the most, will the most, d**h row
As the d**h toll rise and the ghetto-ize, the weary, dark skies show no signs of clearing
How could a n***a ease his pain, working at Micky D's, it's gain
Minimum wage with maximum need, it's struggle indeed
When there's mouth's to feed, no diploma or degree
That qualify you're the [?] to facilities
Some of y'all just maintained, hopping on and off the money train
But hold your own and pull your weight and keeping running thangs
Through these streets, all the conscious people
We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on
Through these beats, I will conquer evil
We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong
In this game you can't go wrong if you think with instinct
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link
Don't be that rotten apple that got in a battle with a bunch
He did his dance, sh** his pants, lots his lunch
No floss to front, two things was so unnecessary
And that big head of yours gives a perfect aim to your adversaries (BLAH)
Over these beats I channel, feeling through vocabulary
I rode through the streets, like it or not, embarra**ed
Words powers and parries, the ability to uplift a military
You'll really see the mystery of the library
Eyes very open, wise very old
We learned from the elders one should never sell his soul
Rather keep a strong hold, firm grip control if you get blowed
Knowing the lay-back and pay-back or money owed
Through these streets, all the conscious people
We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on
Through these beats, I will conquer evil
We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong
Straight from the point of origin
