02' Yale Cup Champs

Uh, ha, yeah

We here, man

You know what I’m sayin'?

We here

We made it

You know what I’m sayin'?

We played the game for all this time

"You got this far, you gotta keep goin'"

That's what I tell myself everyday, man

I gotta keep goin' (Uh, Uh-huh), that's what you gotta do, too (You know dat)

In for the win, you know dat

Yo, ayo (Check)

I speak for those who feel they got no voices (No voices)

I speak for those who grindin' like they stuck without no motherfuckin' choices (Who got no choices)

Who need that cake, but not the one with moistness (Uh-huh)

COVID hit, and that put a large percent of n***** on that unemployment (Crazy)

They turned employees into entrepreneurs (Uh-huh)

They took that PPP loan, they formed a LLC and copped them a store (Woo)

They took a chance on them and profited more (They got more)

I’m cut from that cloth, see, the circumstances made me a boss (Talk that talk)

Shoulder blades pressed against the drywall, I had to make some movements (Facts)

Never was great at improv 'til I had to make improvements (Uh-huh)

I’m teachable, I always stayed a student (What?)

Fuckin' with Machine, he been a great influence

He gave me game and ways to do this (You know dat)

I need a run like I'm professionally trained for hoopin' (Ha)

I shoot my shot like I'm professionally trained for shootin's (Boom)

I'm here for that bag, if I don't get the fame, then screw it (Fuck it)

The game is iffy, but I'm silly with that bitch, I really made a union (Ha)

She always been here, my expressive outlet (Uh-huh)

See, life's about more than money, phones, and expensive outfits (That's true)

I'm tryna die without that

And it's a life I'm tryna find without stress

Plus, I ain’t go and buy my moms a house yet (What up, mom?)

And that was always the plan, I’m talkin' from the outset (Uh-huh)

Like doin' inventory at Nike, I need to count checks (I need it)

Like Vinsanity after all this time, I still got me some bounce left (Facts)

I talk my shit in case you got some doubts left (Just in case)

Life is like the shot clock, the ball is in your hands every twenty-four (Every twenty-four, every twenty-four)

You can pass it up, or you can find your drive (Find your drive)

Keep your handle, elevate and score (Elevate and score, elevate and score)

Life is like a shot clock, the ball is in your hands every twenty-four (Every twenty-four, every twenty-four) (Kushed God, bitch)

You can pass it up, or you can find your drive (Find your drive) (Really)

Keep your handle, elevate and score (Elevate and score, elevate and score)

Elevate and score (Right)

I speak for those that ain't got an option

I speak for those with a outlet and a plug that could get it poppin' (Right)

I speak for those who could get a box in

Couple flavors, me and my dawg pick and roll like Malone and Stockton (Really)

39, was born in '84

Momma's baby boy, on any given night I drop a eighty-ball (Uh)

Facilitator but I get paid to score

I was Brad Beal way before the max deal, they paid me more (Right)

Strapped all season, then I spent a stack on eatin'

Stop the showboatin', get back on defense

I average a block, all time, established off pot

Euro step on Euro trips, n****, I travel a lot

Tropical hustler like I'm over summer (Right)

Couple days, what’s the over/under?

Champagne flute over-runneth

Out the mud, and I built som'n from it

And you love my style, keep it a Wilt 100 (100)

Life is like the shot clock, the ball is in your hands every twenty-four (Every twenty-four, every twenty-four)

You can pass it up, or you can find your drive (Find your drive)

Keep your handle, elevate and score (Elevate and score, elevate and score)

Life is like a shot clock, the ball is in your hands every twenty-four (Every twenty-four, every twenty-four)

You can pass it up, or you can find your drive (Find your drive)

Keep your handle, elevate and score (Elevate and score, elevate and score)

Elevate and score

This flashy lifestyle comes slower for cash and jewels

Hit Hollywood parties, rub shoulders like a masseuse

Seen fiends in the street hunched over, left me confused

Road to riches never trust chauffeurs that make your moves

Investments was lucrative, my stocks brought me in double

Learned from my mistakes, them losses gave me a hustle

Raised by a black, single mom, it was a struggle

Lack of father figure, shit, my pops was more like a uncle, yeah

You can get it either slow or fast

They don't know the half, I turn peer pressure into a yoga class

Pain left scars, but I never show the scabs

My words paint a picture and every bar's like a photograph

Everybody want knowledge but fear lectures

The free jewels I give with my pen is a mere gesture

When you finally taste success it's a weird texture

A diamond in the mud perfected by peer pressure

It's beauty in the eye of the storm, I wouldn't dare look

A Queen holds all the power, you can't compare rooks

Was raised around dealers and thieves, I never feared crooks

If the shoe fit then I guess I'm walkin' in barefoot

I started losin' my mind, it sent me soul-searchin'

Soon as you learn from mistakes, that's when you show purpose

Kids gettin' murdered broad day while playin' hopscotch

The ball's in my court, life's like a shot clock, for real

Life is like the shot clock, the ball is in your hands every twenty-four (Every twenty-four, every twenty-four)

You can pass it up, or you can find your drive (Find your drive)

Keep your handle, elevate and score (Elevate and score, elevate and score)

Life is like a shot clock, the ball is in your hands every twenty-four (Every twenty-four, every twenty-four)

You can pass it up, or you can find your drive (Find your drive)

Keep your handle, elevate and score (Elevate and score, elevate and score)

Elevate and score (I’m’ droppin’ fifty)
