Take one up, three
Like Run DMC
Was the first ones I ever seen
Over there looking crispy, black on black

Jeans, leather coats and the big ol' chains
Adidas in there, they was in the game
Like you said, wasn't much to explain
Had the people turn and change

Spinnin' on their head, hip-hop on one of the men
Seeing over there their outfits matched with their friends
People with big bangles and their earrings bling
Tryna figure out how I could be a part of the scene

Never knew I would grow up and have me the green
Never knew I would meet legends all on the team
People playing saxophones and inventing guitars
We could be big stars, Shannon Muir and bars

Shit, that shit ain't hard
Like you said, take it to Mars
People zoomin' through and they play it in cars
On the radio, man, number one on the charts

You know what you gotta do, express it from the heart
Express it from the soul, express it from the spirit
Like you said, I don't really know about the lyrics
I just get it tuned in to a higher frequency

So I channel this energy whenever they speak to me, shit
Pass the greeneries, the middle of the flows
Cause you know, my mind gotta go
Like you said, the light speed, light time

And when I'm rhymin', tryna figure the fastest
Inside of the diamond, flyin
I am up on the list, tryna make sure
Got our visions clear, bucks

Got smoke comin' out of our ear
Nah, we gotta get it to Stimmy's in this year
Beyond what he ever thought
Like you said, we'll be tapped in, D-Boyz thought

Them things had to pay the cost
And get it fixed, the boys' clubs
We over here in the mix, not innocent
Maybe we is, but not the people

That come through with the shields, killin' the kids, shit
Gotta be the one protectin' our communities
So I spit it over here fluently
So you and me can see the inner vision

The higher levels that we're supposed to be livin
It's on the mansions, the 818
Where they over there chillin' and hampin
Nah, we got maids and butlers handin

Whatever we want, they serve more hors d'oeuvres
All they say is, yes sir, no sir, they be chillin
Tapped in with life, like you said, the shit is so great
Higher heights, mean bigger stakes

Gotta be over there in the lights, this line
Takin' our time, shit, tequila's 1800
Man, I'm feelin' inside of my pocket
Like you said, you rock it, shit, they never knew

We would be fly beside the cockpit
Chillin' with the pilot over on that flash
Like the birdies, they never heard me
Like I said, my mind gettin' in the surgery

I gotta tap in and make meals for real
I gotta make meals that you can't eat and chill
I gotta get shit over here, lay in the field
I gotta do stuff, security case to kill

Tryna do what we do, man
I don't feel, lotta times they do this shit
It ain't real, so I can't be with that fake shit
Like you said, take us to the future

George Clinton, the spaceship, no
Gotta makeshift, we pushin' buttons
Over here, man, big bucks is the discussion
So whatever they talkin' about, it'll be nothin

You can't come up with that, man
I'ma keep touchin', pushin', and movin' on
We groovin' songs to tunes that's long known
It's truly strong, and I don't know the shit that you be on

Cause this is just 100% real
Fuck how they feel, gotta deal with what we deal
So they can't explain how we feel in the field
They ain't playin' the plays, and they ain't gettin' tackle in

They ain't the one catchin' the passes when they passin' in
Gotta be on the front line
Gotta make sure that you hit the buzzer beat whenever it's crunch time
