[Hook]
I'mma hold it down and I'mma maintain
The way I came in I still do it the same
I came from the bottom I'm just tryin to get a scrap
But ain't nothin changed and I ain't going back to that
[Verse 1: DRK]
I'm never nickel and diming but I'll take change if it makes sense
Maintain the same waves, just crash in different locations
Switched it up once – look how much change I've made since
Clocks ticking it takes time, but me, I got patience
No more solo shots, to get a grand slam, you need your bases covered
First you gotta k** 'em, quiet the enemies like they face is smothered
Second, keep it moving and ain't no looking back
I told the world how I felt with the sound of a track
Third of all, you can't want it, gotta need it, get greedy
Gotta start looking home and when they throw it, gotta beat it
See me, D be rock, I got a game worth of strikes
An earthquake worth of shakin', plus the same devastation
See I ain't tryin to break you down, I'm tryin to give you motivation
See I know, see we living in a wild place and strange times, but stay calm
Used to have homies, they up and left you, now they gone
Now you're feeling all I'm Mr. Lonely like Akon
But I got you, I'mma watch your back, Raekwon
I fend to take off cause life feels like too much to take on
But wait, I'm the Messenger sent to tell you to stay strong
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Mick the Martyr]
I know you got the rhymes that I'm tellin' stuck in ya melon
Got you dwellin' on whether I'm serious or delirious
Yo I'll tell ‘em, I've been through difficult situations
My mind be racing about the choices I'm making, be patient
Don't change the station, I'm blazin'
Like atomic waves, supersonic waves
Chronic haze got ya boy lifted for days
I know you've been praying for me to kick a slow flow, so let's go
Half you motherf**ers don't even know
I'm the hip hop version of Bobby Mercer, reverse ya
Curse ya, f** with the fam, and get put in a hearse, uh
I'm done playing games, fortune and fame, not in my aim
I'm just tryin to kick some sh** for ya brain, simple and plain, insane
But I stay level headed, ya'll is some lames, so our agreement forget it
Cause I'm onto big and better, never the less
I will never turn my back on my brothers
Come stand beside us through this weather
