[Hook:]

I’ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonna get it right now

Get it right now, get it right now

If you ain’t had enough, you gonna get it right now

Get it (get it) like now, get it like now

Turn the (turn the) the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonna get it right now

If you ain’t had enough, you gonna get it right now


[Verse 1:]

Damn right: I’m from a city you ain’t never heard about

Wasn’t making noise then, but I’m making noise now

Making dope shit, what I’m all about

I’m Wu Tang in '93, fans like my shit loud

And I made my mama proud, turn the TV on, wow

She just clicking through the channels while she’s sitting on the couch

There I is, it’s time to celebrate now

You can tell the bartender we gonna need another round (it’s going down)

In and out of labels all the time

Had to change up my ideas, had to switch up my designs

Went from dreams of being major to the independent grind

When you come to think about it man I’m doing just fine

Cause I’m that YouTube and I’m on that iPod

And that girl up in the front row screaming 'my God!'

Big up to my fans and all of my squad

You can call me what you want, just call me an icon

[Verse 2:]

Took a ride to NY, had a lot of time to think

5 people got stabbed, 2 murdered this week

In my hood, in my city, only 6 miles wide

Hurricane full of tears, filling buckets outside

Mama going in the shop, as she watch her son die

Police say another unsolved homicide

Damn kid, what a shame, when I think about the youth

Used to think about a play, now I think about the booth

Just had another daughter, so now that makes two

Gotta teach them to be smart, do it thug’s point of view

Gotta teach them 'bout respect, gotta teach them 'bout the rules

I ain’t talking on their neck but I gotta give them jewels

Looking back on my life, though I'm less than halfway

I could say I was a leader, had a lot of shit to say

On the nights my inner demons try to make the plan stray

I just hold another jay and let the thoughts fade away
