I want the #1 spot, I'm going for it

I'm about to take it, this is what I'm here to do

I have no fear, I have only ambition and I want mine

Yeah!

Yeah, ugh, yo, check it

Since Traverse fell off, it's been weak in the game

But Traverse never fell off, I was asleep in La Grange

Now I speak to your brain to prove my speech is insane

Schooling kids but I'd rather go to the bleachers and hang

Showing skills, flowing ill, my prophecy will go fulfilled

Fly as a bird, you rappers talking out your beaks and blowing bills

You can't duck or wing it when it comes to that debt, homie

I sock 'em in their souls if they're tryna step on me

I'm hot lava, it's cold as froze tundras

Rappers dry as deserts, they roll with zero thunder

I shoot 16s, blast your atoms with .22s, I be balling in interviews, I'm D Rose with No Jumper

Life without music's like Nas with no AZ

Catch me on stage how I Roc with no Jay-Z

But mock and go play me, you could spit in my face

Diss every single verse I do, see if I'll spit it with haste

I'm saying 1 for respect and skill

2 times for the fans that respect the real

Lil homie I got 3 words: Traverse is back

Stronger than a brick wall, ain't no hurting that

I'm saying 1 for respect and skill

2 times for the fans that respect the real

Lil homie I got 3 words: Traverse is back

Stronger than a brick wall, ain't no hurting that

I grew up listening to Pac with my cap backwards

That's some wordplay for you slow minds and trash rappers

I'm a backpacker, slash the one they're taking jabs after

Getting on drums to higher levels like my tracks mastered

Travis hops in like I was the black Mathers

Blacking out, still my face whiter than the Mad Hatter's

Used to crowds of hate, now it's just bad laughter

Guess I upgraded from "Who's that?" to "That's Traverse"

But really, that's just how they perceive me

Best be waiting every time I drop an album or EP

'Cause you know it's flowing rivers, make you drown in a CD

And it's tsunami for my peers to make my doubters believe me

That's profound as the TV that you watch religiously

I'm watching top 100s just to try and spot a real MC

It's hard as loving Hip-Hop and tryna knock a Dilla beat

I'll rock and kill it G for no exchange like stopping Tiller's speech

I'm saying 1 for respect and skill

2 times for the fans that respect the real

Lil homie I got 3 words: Traverse is back

Stronger than a brick wall, ain't no hurting that

I'm saying 1 for respect and skill

2 times for the fans that respect the real

Lil homie I got 3 words: Traverse is back

Stronger than a brick wall, ain't no hurting that

I'm saying 1 for respect and skill

2 times for the fans that respect the real

Lil homie I got 3 words: Traverse is back

Stronger than a brick wall, ain't no hurting that

I'm saying 1 for respect and skill

2 times for the fans that respect the real

Lil homie I got 3 words: Traverse is back

Stronger than a brick wall, ain't no hurting that
