...we a hell of a name
I'm tryna grab a whole nother level in plain
possesed with a flow, and I rebel the main
stream, choke your mind with an intelligent chain
sometimes I be the type to wanna yell at the lame
used to be the nigga who would dwell in the same
places where they praise the irrelevant fame
some say the black cats got a devilish aim
but I maintain we cool on the DL
Hugh, see we sell too
but I had to +straighten it out+ like CL Smooth
it wasn't me, cause the ones who prevail are few
typical for a young male to do
and now I'm tryna ring a bell with who? (who?) [echos]
125125 niggas with a scale to move
their means for the currency but currently lost
just another black man tryna be his own boss so...

go head and do
do it
its you
do what you do
as long as its you
as long as its you...
do what you do

I'm tryna to kick divine knowledge with a slave tongue
in the fields tryna harvest liberation
reside in the streets these niggas was raised from
hoping the dialect could reach down and save one
but I doubt it, cause they comfy in crowds:
the type of niggas checking for the names while we checking for the styles
born to be tamed, while we made to run wild
quick to shuck and jive while we rarely crack a smile
without reason, see for the ears we be thievin
a little more important than some hype for the evening
see I don't really need em in the front row screaming
as long as ya'll hip to the reason
this hip-hop took me from a boy to a man
so I always had a plan
and when it comes to the music I take a stand
see we students of the sound
ain't even concerned with a crown
we do what we do...
so I'm telling you...

go head and do
do it
its you

...and it be the times
when everything is pressing me, I'm thankful I rhyme
dress thoughts with words that some others would find
appealing to the ear and beautiful to the mind
see this path I'm trekking ain't a usual climb
a lot of niggas want it but ain't used to grind
a lot of cats flaunt it but I'm prudent with mine
won't hesitate to tell you we ain't two of a kind
cause I'm on a search for what I'm worth
deciphering my meaning through a verse
speaking it keep me from going beserk
fam be on my back like "you need to get a job"
but writing to these tracks I feel like I'm doing work
so I gotta make it work keep the same mindstate from the first
thing I ever wrote gotta give back to the earth
reflection of the eternal giving birth
never hold up, even when the struggle make me slow up
you know what...
