Lyrics

[00:00.70] 1 for the beat
[00:01.85] 2 for the real
[00:03.26] Right cats who never doubted I was dropping the skill
[00:06.13] For all my peoples in NY and SA who blessed me
[00:09.40] A gas face to all those who still wanna test me
[00:12.38] 3 for the fans who already know the name
[00:15.25] 4 smacks to all wack niggaz in the game
[00:18.10] 5,6,7,8,9,10 for the flows
[00:20.87] 'Ey yo Len, drop it to zero, this is how the story goes..
[00:24.11] Drama, so close to not completing the missing piece of the puzzle
[00:27.08] Quit again, in again, drop suit be following
[00:30.17] Swallowing prod like porn stars and money shots
[00:32.78] I'm hitting ya blocks, spinning as heavy as SUVs doing 360
[00:36.25] I'm ready as ever, over due like the rain in New York
[00:39.36] Sustained a steady fan base, but you still don't know me
[00:42.37] Hold me in your highest regards, I'm your homie
[00:44.66] I relate it's personal, nothing fake, read me - wait, I'd rather dictate it
[00:48.45] Relay it to you on a deeper level
[00:50.36] Kick off your shoes and light your Ls and talk and get to know each other
[00:53.70] I'm Jean, honorable team player for years
[00:56.39] Emceeing on the low, in videos devoid of the hoes
[00:59.32] For sho' it's crunch time, I'm the one they sent to piss your label off
[01:02.72] They won't fuck with me, unless I'm parading and taking it off
[01:05.77] Nah man, executives, con mans
[01:08.12] This record is too hot to get pushed back another minute
[01:11.07] It would burn a set control well admit
[01:13.16] You liked it when the first bar dropped
[01:14.65] In less than one second she's already spitting
[01:17.24] I need ya'll, you want a change? well here it is
[01:19.98] Let's stop complaining, make it happen, everybody step up your game
[01:23.43] 'Cause everybody's stuck in park or reverse
[01:25.60] Letting the media choose your path and rape you, market you less than you worth
[01:29.15] I was gonna throw your towel in
[01:30.61] But honestly you cats deserve some better music
[01:33.30] Plus, come on, what else would I be doing? Shit..
[01:35.34] (What, what, what would I do?)
[01:39.00] If, like my people said, "I left it to you"
[01:40.83] (Tell me what, what, what would I do?)
[01:44.82] If I didn't try a verse, if I didn't rhyme
[01:46.94] (Tell me what, what, what would I do?)
[01:50.70] If I just hated and did nothing to change it
[01:52.58] (Tell me what, what, what would I do?)
[01:56.29] Hell no, that could never happen
[01:58.41]
[01:58.56] There's so much further to go
[01:59.84] I feel like Mindy Cohen doing the One To Grow On
[02:02.20] Yeah I'm old school, 40s and high tops
[02:04.63] Triple Gooses and Travel Fox
[02:06.19] Huaraches and Blow Pops
[02:07.55] I'm down to earth but still dreaming
[02:09.17] Peace to Skeme Team and all of my niggaz on the come up
[02:11.18] Apani and Lyric, we gon' take it there
[02:13.98] The rest of ya'll just taking up space, and you don't even care
[02:16.93] It's like you started eating Thanks Giving dinner without saying grace
[02:19.78] I whisper a prayer for you
[02:20.98] 'cause you cats are lost and probably not gon' make it back
[02:23.46] Fuck it, it's more for me I guess
[02:25.37] So please don't stress it
[02:26.33] The best is yet to come
[02:28.03] This is just an introduction
[02:29.55] I'm 'bout to have niggaz madder than big titty girls who getting breast reductions
[02:34.07] The purpose of my function is to smash, simply put - trash you
[02:36.78] Until you cry "Uncle mercy", wander aimless in this concrete jungle and curse me
[02:40.60] There ain't a need for verse three I can feel it
[02:42.89] That would rob you of your man hood, and I'm not into stealing
[02:46.03] So tell me..
[02:46.55] (What, what, what would I do?)
[02:49.90] If, like my people said, "I left it to you"
[02:51.52] (Tell me what, what, what would I do?)
[02:55.59] If I didn't try a verse, if I didn't rhyme
[02:57.44] (Tell me what, what, what would I do?)
[03:01.75] If I just hated and did nothing to change it
[03:03.30] (Tell me what, what, what would I do?)
[03:07.61] Hell no, that could never happen
[03:08.05]
[03:09.64] Ha-ha, yeah man... And it's only the beginning...
[03:14.42] Better choose sides now
