lyrics

comin’ up with my team and the city of the P know we…
reppin’ double seven headed to the T-O-P
from the dungeon, family getting Ceelo green
that means pockets stay deeper than Jnco Jeans
moving product and these hip-hop fiends O-D
droppin’ knowledge is the key though and we don’t sleep
dope as kilos, chopped up like a Primo beat
do my thing, stack C-notes, they be low key…
throwing salt in the air, praying that we fallin’ off
but never showing up
it’s like all of y’all are ghosts in my city
yeah we blowin’ up, got a moletov
and give a toast to my city
who set the bar, I raise it up
flying ‘round the world trail blazin’
they just blazin’ up
I can’t relate to what…
they say if they just complain
I don’t think they give they thanks enough, straight up..
stay up out the crab bucket if you comin’ up my brother
work with what you got, double up
there’s 8 million rappers with a dream and we one of em
better know the reason that you hustlin’
my old homie said my music helped him cope with recovering
that’s why I’m putting all my love in it
and still grindin’ like the best of em
they got the methamphetamines, I got the medicine
and middle-finger to gatekeepers who won’t let us in
all they trying to give the people is a sedative
to sleep walk and be a slave to the nemesis
we breaking chains making way for the exodus
out the shadows of the cave, gotta represent
by living proof from the page of my testament
my inner-light be the truth that I bless em wit’
and to these ghost-writer rappers I’m the exorcist
yeah, keep the circle tight with no parasites
I see snake in they eyes… pair of dice
as a youngster all I wanted was a pair of dimes…
and my paradise… now I'm trying to change the paradigm
and I ain’t got no air time on corporations
I ain’t got no caroline
all I got is hustle but don’t carry white
now baggin’ up these prayer ties
call us crazy to change the world but we dare try
