lyrics
Whassup witcha
Whassup witcha
You ain’t even in my lane… so what’s the issue?
These dudes so emotional… where’s the tissue?
Old friends so fictional… I don’t even miss you
Heart rewired but still pumping off love
My desires have just differed since you pushed your luck
I’ve been gracious and ever so polite
I’ve been grinding, gaining weight
Boy, I’m ready for the fight
Best act right and -
Get out of the way if you ain’t making noise
Not naïve to your schemes, we are familiar with your ploys
Hear my voice, know the tune and move
Lift your voice, let em know how we do
You keep your hand out... but you get no hand-outs
Put your soul into those soles and stand out
Move thru, move thru (hear-hear me when I say)
Move thru, move thru (get-get outta the way)
Krewe so heavy, heavy but that ain’t nothin new
Rollin hella deep so it’s best you make room
It’s true! We really run it! You can’t keep with the pace!
Pushing, pushing, pushing ‘til we catch what we chase
Prosperity, progression – rising up against oppression
Study up and learn your lesson – mane, class is in session!
Straighten up those shoulders and look me in my eyes
I’ve got purpose to fulfill – you will never see my demise
Saino break it down ‘cause they don’t understand
You can speak ill will if you wish and try to dismantle these plans
But when the Krewe comes marching in and the speakers blast our sound
We are breaking down them doors and we are cutting thru your crowd
Get out of the way if you ain’t making noise
Not naïve to your schemes, we are familiar with your ploys
Hear my voice, know the tune and move
Lift your voice, let em know how we do
You keep your hand out... but you get no hand-outs
Put your soul into those soles and stand out
Move thru, move thru (hear-hear me when I say)
Move thru, move thru (get-get outta the way)
Move thru, move thru
Here come the ruckus
I’m down for the cause
And I’m up to something
Coming for the crown with no resemblance to a princess
But witness how my offenses overwhelm your defenses
I ain’t kiddin
I ain’t playin with you people
You got trophies, you got status, well, my esteem says I am equal
There’s no need for an award to affirm that I’m winning
I got the scars to prove I’ve earned it from the beginning
My work ethic is relentless
No imposters on my roster – you can check the Krewedentials!
Heart of a lion – Mufasa – I got all the essentials!
They can’t relate so they hate and throw shade on my name
Still I shine, pay ‘em no mind, keep paving my lane like -
Get out of the way if you ain’t making noise
Not naïve to your schemes, we are familiar with your ploys
Hear my voice, know the tune and move
Lift your voice, let em know how we do
You keep your hand out... but you get no hand-outs
Put your soul into those soles and stand out
Move thru, move thru (hear-hear me when I say)
Move thru, move thru (get-get outta the way)
