lyrics

Yeah yeah check it out, Cas Metah, Acey, Plee

Verse 1: A-Plus
It's all to the great, let us pontificate
all get the cake in a place we ball in a different way
No work I give no fucks 'bout what you did today
bad energy get away gossiping like these chickens man
Titillating and tantalizing when Adam's rhyming
different patterns and timing hit like hammers is firing
Keep it to yourself unless you plan on retiring
I'll swing, you make me mad as a viking
I'm horny on the purp, they corny out the gate
I know I'm late shit lil' mama wore me out, okay?
Never forget I'm the flow inventor, your whole incentive
close the distance on ya foe agenda I'm no pretender
The king birthing the dreamers I eat the whole placenta
Feminine minions and simpletons scared to go against ya
The kind tyrant hit you with all types of items
first it's a tire iron, here come the fire hydrant, Plus

Hook 1: D1
Let me know if it's real
Is it somethin' I could feel?
What's the deal?
My heart's in everything I write
so my soul is taking flight
Best believe I earned my stripes
Shining star up in the sky, can you find me?
Is it real?
Is it somethin' I could feel?
What's the deal?
My heart's in everything I write
so my soul is taking flight
Best believe I earned my stripes
Shining star up in the sky, can you find me?

Verse 2: Cas Metah
Students of the game, pupils grew into teachers
carrying the torch through the studio speakers
Everything organic from the food to the features
never fly in any circles where the vultures can reach us
We just keep it humble, one hundred, that's why they love us
we leaving the egos on tuck until we busting
The season for emceeing's back, don't be fronting
y'all been clubbing for a long run now it's time to shut down
Ain't got a problem with it, just got a lot of spittin'
I got to get up off of my chest and get up out my system
So come and ride this rhythm, ain't got to lie to kick it
I grew up bumping Boot Camp Clik and New Edition
If you listen then you know that I have true intention
killing with witnesses so no question who the hit men
Do your diligence don't be some pseudo synonym
we the realest dudes in existence come scoop a souvenir

Hook 2: D1
Let me know if it's real
Is it somethin' I could feel?
What's the deal?
My heart's in everything I write
so my soul is taking flight
Best believe I earned my stripes
Shining star up in the sky, can you find me?
Is it real?
Is it somethin' I could feel?
What's the deal?
My heart's in everything I write
so my soul is taking flight
Best believe I earned my stripes
Shining star up in the sky, can you find me?

Verse 3: Aceyalone
Let this be a reminder of what it takes man and what it took
I was out there looking for a mic check even lost a rook
Sometimes I wish I could rewind it, a second look
Write another song for Hip-Hop, put one in the books
The gate keeper over hundreds of thousands of sleepers
The great leaper over crowds of innocent sheeple
Raising up over the smoke I feel the power, yeah
let the knowledge shower my folks it's all ours I know
Gets lonely enough on a gun tower
pointing these lyrics at them when I know that they were coward
Devoured, so grounded, minds well rounded
sounded off loud for the ones that was down when it counted
And that's a lot to ask for
I'm still scarred from my last war past wars
But we made it through and we made this for you
2022 you might just get the interview, we keep it true

Yeah, Ace One, A Plee, Cas Metah, uh

Hook 3: D1
Let me know if it's real
Is it somethin' I could feel?
What's the deal?
My heart's in everything I write
so my soul is taking flight
Best believe I earned my stripes
Shining star up in the sky, can you find me?
Is it real?
Is it somethin' I could feel?
What's the deal?
My heart's in everything I write
so my soul is taking flight
Best believe I earned my stripes
Shining star up in the sky, can you find me?
