[Intro 1: Fab Five Freddy]

Yeah yeah yeah it's Fab Five Freddy right here

And I’m enjoying what my man FifthGod is laying out for ya'll right now

That's right, pay close attention ’cause FifthGod droppin' knowledge

Fab Five Freddy I'm in the building baby

100


[Intro 2: Madwiz]

Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with

Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with

Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with

Gentrification is a bitch I'll never get with

The other day, I'm steppin’ in my motherfucking building

That I grew up in in my neighborhood of 22 years

It might look nice to the sleep pedestrian, but yo, the color has changed

Old white bitch lookin’ at me like I don't belong here

Bitch lookin’ at me like "how and why?"

I pulled out the key on her hoe ass, knowledge of self nigga


[Verse 1: Radamiz]

Why I, got the science to make my starting point the bright sky

Claim caucasian to duck probation, that's a white lie

Sever ties from the Devil's pie with the rhymes I memorize

Step aside, pop culture but Pulitzer when I sketch a line

You the Baphomet, real estate accident, the expert

You flushed degrees down the drain and chose skin as the networth

You Jesus Walked until your legs hurt then first classed it

School of Hardknocks

Graduated from stealin' from Mom to purse snatchin’

That violent style done got us wild enough to hurt cops

Hip-Hop was dead and resurrected when my verse dropped

Figured the game out, I Sherlocked scrimmage, a sure shot

Good with the techs like Silicon Valley for the dinero

My curbs hot, peeps stuck in 4 corners, candles lit

Make street money, panhandling in Pan's Labyrinth

A 90's baby, came out the coochie rockin' a Coogi

Give my Momma a jacuzzi

Marcus Garvey in some Stussy


[Verse 2: Scienze]

How I feel, I'm God made magic, I raise average

Brain catcher, king shines light, lane crafter

The city focused on green and gold crowns

I'm busy making these dreams below grounds

It's real, this bling no diamond, it's all timing

All mine it, remove all pressure, we all shining

Its all matter, we all gon' eat, its all platters

More water, big like bold, just more fatter, word

Radamiz tell Fifth to pour a drink

These times be timed wrong, these songs just small fish

Let's move

The planet of Brooklyn don't look the same

They're blocking us from our blocks

Jocking us out our fame

Its simple, we on a plane, simple and plain

Its plain proof, the proof is our hood's got newer names

Insane, this new generation don't see the change

Their aiming is aimed off, yo 'miz we got that range


[Outro: Kye Russoul]

Father God I pray

Remember what you said to me

I and I and we are peace

But a house is not a home if you can't sleep

Worried 'bout the next meal you gon' eat

Or the next?

Wondering if we can stay for good

Living in this neighborhood
