Ongoing Thing - Intellectual

[Intro: 20syl]

Keep it on the level

(Whoa-oh)

I'm I'm I'm climbing up the

Keep it on the level

I'm climbing up the ladder

While you're in need of a shovel

(Whoa-oh)

[Verse 1: Oddisee]

I could do this all day

I could do this all night (I could do this all night)

I could I could I could

I could do this all day

I could do this all night

(I could do this all night)

I could do this all day, I could do this all night

All month, all year, for my whole entire life

Who you know got a home, but seem to live on the road

Lookin' like a black gypsie, in the Caravan, arose

Music for the people, I used to rap on the train

Now I rap on a stage and I'm used to capital gain

I ain't asking for change, I'm good at coining a phrase

What I want is more than ever and never to fade away

Is that too much to ask? Good, cause I ain't askin'

Already into action, I'll have your answer retracted

So stay up out my business, it's crowded enough with me

You added as just a witness I’d rather not even see

I'm good with the folks around me, get from 'round me

Before we commence to clowning, yeah

Keep it on the level, yeah, keep it on the level

I'm climbing up the ladder while you in need of a shovel

Skedaddle

[Hook: 20syl]

(Whoa-oh)

I'm - I'm climbing up the-

Keep it on the level

I'm climbing up the-

(Whoa-oh)

I'm - I'm climbing up the-

(Whoa-oh)

Keep it on the level

I'm climbing up the ladder, while you in need of a shovel

Yo, skedaddle

[Hook 2: Oddisee]

Don't give it to me easy, I like a little challenge

Winning feels better when you take a little damage

Slow learning, fast earning, stay burning, wheels turning

It's a ongoing, ongoing, ongoing thing

Don't give it to me easy, I like a little challenge

Winning feels better when you take a little damage

Slow learning, fast earning, stay burning, wheels turning

It's a ongoing, ongoing, ongoing thing

[Hook: 20syl]

(Whoa-oh)

I'm - I'm climbing up the-

(Whoa-oh)

I'm - I'm climbing up the-

I'm climbing up the-

I'm - I'm- I'm climbing up the-

Keep it on the level

I'm climbing up, I'm climbing up, I'm climbing up

Keep it on the level

I'm climbing up the ladder, while you in need of a shovel

Yo, skedaddle

I- I- I- I- I could do this all day, I could do this all night

Do - do - do - do - do - do this all night

I could I could I could do this all day, I could do this all night

All - all - all night, do this - do this all night

I- I- I- I- I could do this all day, I could do this all night

Do - do - do - do - do - do this all night

I could do this all day, I could do this all night

All - all - all night, do this - do this all night

[Hook 2: Oddisee]

Don't give it to me easy, I like a little challenge

Winning feels better when you take a little damage

Slow learning, fast earning, stay burning, wheels turning

It's a ongoing, ongoing, ongoing thing

Don't give it to me easy, I like a little challenge

Winning feels better when you take a little damage

Slow learning, fast earning, stay burning, wheels turning

It's a ongoing, ongoing, ongoing thing
