Yeah, yeah let's keep it going man
You good
We all gotta come in together like this, here we go
Ayo rappin' just to rap what the fu*k happened to that
Mainstream took a hold of my soul but I made it back
Bringing it back to The Roots on some Datskat
I rhyme for the love of it, this right here my covenant
Since I was a youngin' eatin' cheese from the government
Come on now, no matter where you at up in the world
We on now
Me and my dogs do it different, yeah, that's on the pound
If you wanna know what we on right now
Listen to the sound
I listen to the sound
I said I paid my dues and stayed cool since grade school
Yeah you know we bringing that heat like AU
Back in the day at Gburg I was wonderin' wha gwan
Tryna make it out, I was a fish in a small pond
My word is bond we had somethin' going on
I played all the parties and sang the Lodi Dodis
I picked up the mic and serenaded the hotties
I drove the Impala with caskets and bodies
I hit the studio, you know I left the track bodied
I do this sh*t right here for me, myself, and nobody
Me and my family rollin' deep like Gotti
Word to John, oh ya know it got it goin' on
I'm a silver tongue motherfu*ka' but it never con
It goes on and on and on and on and on
In the studio till like five in the morn'
Rappin till the sun comes up and it's the dawn
While my homies smokin' more grass than acres on my lawn
Put on your good clothes, it's showtime at the Apollo
Shut the fu*k up and get to the point like a hollow
I need the microphone like thirsty b*tches need to follow
I get the pussy wetter than my Hilo, Hilo ho
Oh yeah, you know I'm goin' beast mode
These other rappers hittin' themselves in vitro
It's no contest
Steppin' to me it's time to rest
I'm beyond blessed, greatest emcee
Put it to rest, right yeah
