[Intro]
I keep calm when I'm angered, cause they love when we panic
And we love when they panic but with the power they granted its automatic they spasm we'll be the first to be branded
The most sacrificial of lambs if their hands aren't clapping
I make it happen, my habit to tell 'em I'm yelling freedom since my tribe decapitated Magellan
And sent him back to his country with his body beheaded, he never made it around the world but they still gave him credit
It ain't the truth cause I said it, it's the truth cause it happened
They wanted proof I said f** it I'll give you that plus I'm rapping
They wanted points on my album, trying to pull that Bob Arum
Exploiting Filipino champions but I'm seeing right past 'em
Better yet through with proving my movement is an illusion, was nineteen when I got that conclusion
They said “Geo, why you ain't doing collaborations?”
What you talking ‘bout, you must be mistaken
I collab' with publications who want me opionatin', building with academics who quotin' me in their paper
Organizing labor, write with film makers, cue notes to public offenders calling the mayor
Let ‘em know that we don't condone PD behaviour, work with small businesses; owners trying to make it
Teaching after-school photography cla**es and turning brown knuckleheads into musicians whose music you will be slappin'
So with that on my plate I ain't concerned with you rapper, I'm more concerned my kids don't end up like you rapper
You really think I'm holding you back, I'm here trying not to laugh while you walk through the doors I run laps
This is me at half speed, imagine when I mash my pace you try to match it, wait you stuck in traffic
Get a pa** man, go to cla** this is not my first lap and most certainly not the last
Giving thanks to the farmers and the workers when I eat, dream all you want but you can't fight when you're asleep
Talk is staying relevant ain't relevant to me, that virtual attention they reflected in the street
Me and Waka Flocka Flame different but agree it's independence that we seek
f** this industry repeat, f** this industry repeat, f** this industry repeat you try to board a sinking ship that sh** hilarious to me
I know college educated folk with various degrees who be dumber than the average mo'f**er in the street
Bet it's hard to know there's places I can go you never reach and the best that you can do is say “that Geo dude is weak”
Yeah I own my own privilege but that sh** ain't ownin' me
I'm bringing back some fans that thought that they were over me I'm older now, I'm holding myself accountable when I speak
On my Marcon sh**, the only mode is beast
I was ten when my poppa showed me how to load a piece
He's a military man but his kids promoted peace
Coated rhymes like Da Vinci then went paint the Mona Lis'
Not the time Europeans thought the west was really east
I existed as a strand of DNA, that carried from survivors to my parents to this day
I pa** it to my children so they fight the same wave
Now I'm getting stronger every time you people press play, eh eh
[Spoken]
So thanks for sticking around and listening to what I have to say
Not what I wanted to say but needed to say, town all day
