...we a [bad word] of a name 
i'm tryna grab a whole nother level in plain 
possesed with a flow, and i rebel the main 
stream, choke your mind with an intelligent chain 
sometimes i be the type to wanna yell at the lame 
used to be the [bad word] who would dwell in the same 
places where they praise the irrelevant fame 
some say the black cats got a devilish aim 
but i maintain we cool on the DL 
Hugh, see we sell too 
but i had to +straighten it out+ like CL Smooth 
it wasn't me, cause the ones who prevail are few 
typical for a young male to do 
and now i'm tryna ring a bell with who? (who?) [echos] 
125125 niggas with a scale to move 
their means for the currency but currently lost 
just another black man tryna be his own boss so... 

go head and do 
do it 
its you 
do what you do 
as long as its you 
as long as its you... 
do what you do 

i'm tryna to kick divine knowledge with a slave tongue 
in the fields tryna harvest liberation 
reside in the streets these niggas was raised from 
hoping the dialect could reach down and save one 
but i doubt it, cause [bad word] in crowds: 
the type of niggas checking for the names while we checking for the styles 
born to be tamed, while we made [bad word] wild 
quick to shuck and jive while we rarely crack a smile 
without reason, see for the ears we be thievin 
a little more important than some hype for the evening 
see i don't really need em in the front row screaming 
as long as ya'll hip to the reason 
this hip-hop took me from a boy to a man 
so i always had a plan 
and when [bad word] to the music i take a stand 
see we students of the sound 
ain't even concerned with a crown 
we do what we do... 
so i'm telling you... 

go head and do 
do it 
its you 

...and it be the times 
when everything is pressing me, i'm thankful i rhyme 
dress thoughts with words that some others would find 
appealing to the ear and beautiful to the mind 
see this path i'm trekking ain't a usual climb 
a lot of niggas want it but ain't used to grind 
a lot of cats flaunt it but i'm [bad word] with mine 
won't hesitate to tell you we ain't two of a kind 
cause i'm on a search for what i'm worth 
deciphering my meaning through a verse 
speaking it keep me from going beserk 
fam be on my back like "you need to get a job" 
but writing to these tracks i feel like i'm doing work 
so i gotta make it work keep the same mindstate from the first 
thing i ever wrote gotta give back to the earth 
reflection of the eternal giving birth 
never hold up, even when the [bad word] make me slow up 
you know what...
