Lyrics

It all started with my grandfather bumping DMX
He just picked me up, was watching Cyberchase on CBS
To get Nana's diabetic medicine from CVS
I was rapping every verse, but skipped the curses for respect
What these women want from a uh-uh, I project
Then he turned the music down with a look that posed a threat
He asked me why I didn't say that word with all my chest
So I asked him which one, he said, ****, then professed
That I never let nobody tell me I can't say it
Overcame from generations of enslavement in this nation
Took away the instruments, but look what's in the basement
We found some soul records, then we learned how to DJ them
Grandmaster Kaz wrote a rap that shook the pavement
But they take the struggles we display as entertainment
Okay then, I'm shooting for the moon soon as the day end
The future's now, ****, forever, can't replace them
Ay look, it started in the basement
Levi bumping Nas and Primo
That made a monster, but he didn't see though
He grabs his glasses, time passes
Struggled finding my way, but I couldn't find that
Tried calling him, but it's God I needed to contact
Behind that, I realized that all that we have is now, boy
Too many games being played, how's it going down, boy
I let it ring, shit it's nothing to take a knee
I'm committed like PAC, let it go and I put him down, boy
And now they hurt because the deaths I've caused
And now they reminisce over you, my God
When all they gave is fuck shit, I just gave me
My heart, I wanna see it change
But in the mirror's where it starts
Boy, I'm working every day
Try to take food off my plate
So I gotta warn G, a **** had to regulate
Don't want static, so they pray
That today's a good day
And mentor them lost boys, so they won't take away Rene
Atrévete - te said the man that i was bumping to
Couldn't understand the lyrics that made me uncomfortable
But yet I love it, fuck it what it do
Nothing better than my pops who played Get Rich or Die on our way to school
And I'd recite them lyrics more than toys that I would play with
Till I hit a curse he told me don't let mama hear you say it
Look at me, look at me, my pops a G
And I ain't playing
That's on Joe and Pun
Tego Calderón, Yankee and Don
You see the boy, está Boricua que rico mami
Sabes cien por ciento, que te dijo
Aunque naciera en la luna mami
Mi cora' pertenece aquí, te digo
I know that they don't really want war
Hmm, we got the power but we want more
Yeah, I touch the ink and then you're done for
Ahead forever, fuck a rushmore
Grew up in East Orange I was naughty by nature
Where the vin numbers never match the car's registration
Like Okay G, do your thing and go get your paper
Shit was treacherous but I was never scared of no labor
I was putting that work in
Penning my verses
Rapping over old school beats on YouTube
Like I found my purpose
Guess who's back was the first track
That I rapped over when I picked up that pen
Felt so good when I wrote that verse
That I grabbed that pen and did it again
I was at the bus station
Black Album on rotation
Bumping Ye' in my high school days
Tryna plan a life after graduation
Didn't know what I was gon' do but I knew I was gon' have to make it
Big risks I had to take it
Brought good times and aggravation
My mindset was either get rich or ima die trying
So I drafted up a blueprint and started to apply it
Used to feel like an Outkast until I stopped caring
You can keep your criticism I ain't even tryna hear it
We gon rock it like we 'pose to
To the top from the billboards to the posters
Ain't have much, but what we got we made the most of
Fuck the profit, cause we did it for the culture
I know that they don't really want war
Hmm, we got the power but we want more
Yeah, I touch the ink and then you're done for
Ahead forever, fuck a rushmore
Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
