[Verse 1] When I grip the mic, I wanna rip the mic And when I rip the mic, I wanna rip it right Twist it, bop it, flip-flop it Don't get it twisted, I'm gifted right? But that means diddly squat, I'd be a little-league kumquat With no shot at gunnin' for a top spot If ain't got the stones to rock, if I'm in a hard place and I'm too soft I've gotta foster this creative monster, it has been an orphan Take a little saucer, fill it with chocolate sauce just to get its endorphins Pumpin' or somethin' to keep it jumpin' when the beats bumpin' Cause some get a lump in their throat when the drums come in But I bump to the drum within Yea, yea [Hook 1] L.V., I be comin' with that boom bap (Who's that? Who's that?) They a**ume I'm a goon that a**umes the mood of true rap But fails to tell the tales that slap Man, I can understand that, I see where you're comin' from But I be runnin' with the sun, I'm a star doin' moon laps Go ahead, make it rain with your booty-rap Rappin' out your booty I can break wind and make a monsoon clap I can break into the game and give it a great name by bringin' the truth back Yea, I'm bringin' the truth back, I'm puttin' us on a new map Big dog and a pioneer, I look in the mirror And see a Great Dane with a coon cap [Verse 2] We on a new frontier and you a nuisance here if you front or fear Are you sincere? Turn in on yourself with an eye and an ear Find your inner fear and interfere, find your inner sin make it disappear Man I've played with fire, and I swear sin sears But when I get burnt, I take the lessons I did learn See it as a test like a midterm Ace it when I face it, I'm a prudent student like an intern Introverted extrovert, that thinks there's no such thing as extra work I'm just lookin' for the best to work Mediocrity's my enemy, ooh I'ma k** em I've been filled with these dreams, I'm so full so I gotta spill em In The Flow with my team, Stay Fluid, we do it until we fulfill em Yea, we gon' do it 'til we fulfill them, we keep it real then Have a little fun cause we only on the come-up once Grown up mind with the spirit of children Stay lighthearted and heavy hitting Fight raw with a tight jaw in every city and every inning Every ring and stadium, I've got the home-town-advantage Because God's my home, there's no evading him Don't know how I manage, it's me I gotta save me from
[Hook 2] L.V., he be comin' with that boom bap (Who's that? Who's that?) They a**ume he's a goon that a**umes the mood of true rap But fails to tell the tales that slap Man, he can understand that, he sees where you're comin' from But he be runnin' with the sun, he's a star doin' moon laps Go ahead make it rain with your booty-rap Rappin' out your booty He can break wind and make a monsoon clap He can break in to the game and give it a great name by bringin' the truth back Yea, he's bringin' the truth back, he's puttin' us on a new map Big dog and a pioneer, he looks in the mirror And sees a Great Dane with a coon cap [Verse 3] True that, true that Ya know I said I'm on the come-up but I'm there now The world's comin' up to me so I stare down I'ma, I'ma, I'ma elevate the crowd Cause I was a part of it, right there in the heart of it Stayin' in line until I found my pen Now I'm between these lines, I need these rhymes, man count me in Back, back, I'm never goin' back There's too many tracks for me to attack for me to backtrack There are too many racks to attract and transact to back those that lack That's my habit, that's my tactic, practice that Hypnotizing world leaders with this flow Yo at first they'll sip it slow, then a liter quickly flows Down their gullet, they'll feel it in their fingers and their toes And their feet will start to glow as they float above the bullet Above the bullet, that's where I be Five letter code for my Z-I-P P-E-A-C-E, for the W-O-R-L-D They tell me we F-R-E-E, but that spells lie No credit report necessary Our D-E-B-T is sky-high and I Won't let it be hereditary [Hook 1] L.V., I be comin' with that boom bap (Who's that? Who's that?) They a**ume I'm a goon that a**umes the mood of true rap But fails to tell the tales that slap Man, I can understand that, I see where you're comin' from But I be runnin' with the sun, I'm a star doin' moon laps Go ahead, make it rain with your booty-rap Rappin' out your booty I can break wind and make a monsoon clap I can break into the game and give it a great name by bringin' the truth back Yea, I'm bringin' the truth back, I'm puttin' us on a new map Big dog and a pioneer, I look in the mirror And see a Great Dane with a coon cap
