lyrics
Ask about me in my city
Bet they tell you ‘bout the movement
Wonder if they really wit’ me
Either way I move fluent
Erryday, erryday
It's the same damn thing
Smoke sum, get money, show love – rain or sunny
‘Cause we live it
Hate, love it – can't touch it
Bruh, we did it
Wait – it's comin’, I ain’t bluffin’
And I know I been sayin’ this shit
But know I ain't quittin’ for shit
My time is comin’ with a quickness
Lil-lil homie just listen…
Tried to tell you dudes…
Time to listen up
I won’t play by your rules…
Can’t straighten me up
Now I got ‘em trippin’ –
They don’t really wanna hear it…
But I’ma say it anyways
They really gonna fear it…
Truth be told – I’ma speak, speak, speak it
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you hearing me?
Speak up, make it clear, you see they blind
And you ill in your mind
So I vocalize, bring to light truth amidst your lies
Biggest boom comes from the smallest of contraptions
And based on blow patterns, I advise you take action
Ain’t worried ‘bout you if you ain't about me
Got no box, no obligations in the land of the free
We just livin’
And we gon’ keep on givin’
Crack on these tracks
They fiendin’ – got they fix!
I'm set on paving my lane
I ain't goin’ nowhere – cemented, here to stay
Give up? Nuh-uh-na-no waaay
Obstacles – steer clear
Get it? Wit it? Okaaay…
Those walls we hit are hard
But our hearts will not be hardened
No mercy for our enemies – just pray they talk to God…
Tried to tell you dudes…
Time to listen up
I won’t play by your rules…
Can’t straighten me up
Now I got ‘em trippin’ –
They don’t really wanna hear it…
But I’ma say it anyways
They really gonna fear it…
Truth be told – I’ma speak, speak, speak it
Ima speak on it
Get the fuck up outta my zone homie
Man, you so phony
You lucked up – it's my time homie
I ain't playin’ no games
John Moffitt – ain't in it for the fame
We workin’ – all day
I do it for my people – give a fuck bout my name
Just wanna… see change
Keep ya dollars – gimme substance beyond monetary things
You buggin’ – crazy
If you thinkin’ I'll leave without my sweat on the stage
I ain't speakin’ – I'm makin’ statements
And now I'm peakin’ – pickin’ myself off the pavement
Bruised, bloody – it's nothing
Bet now you gon’ hear me though – my mouth can still function
Naw, listen…
Y'all trippin’...
Muhfucka – don't do it!
Naw, listen
Y'all trippin’…
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
