[Intro]

Hip-hop


[Chorus: Grand Agent]

This is it, y'all, that I live my life

On the mic is my type of hype, yeah, it's only right

Where ya at? (Grand Agent)

Where ya at? (Grand Agent)

This is it, y'all, that I live my life

On the mic is my type of hype, yeah, it's only right (Hip-hop)

Where ya at? (Planet Asia)

Where ya at? (Planet Asia)


[Verse 1: Planet Asia]

One for the preciseness, two for all my fuck ups

Three for all the Slick Rick niggas who stay trucked up

It's all street, heavy metal hip-hop for every ghetto

Fuck what you heard, we 'bout to bring this shit to Wall Street

Flow financial with authority to spark it on charts

While you couldn't get a stop up at the flea market

You wholesale, damn near no sale

My flows is mansion and a yacht, yours is roach motel

And don't get it confused, we still in this for the art of it now

I puts it down for all the OGs who started this

But, yeah, we in this for what we deserve

And Planet Asia's got the heads comin' back for second servings

Like, "Who want some?" I got it for y'all

With my crew or by my lonesome, we could go some

Now what's the haps of what your sayin'? Best be ready to throw some

I blow so much trees I had to grow some

Killers, criminals, crooks, I know some

This rhyme was written for all my hip-hop niggas across the globe

Worldwide, tuned in, this is who I'm spittin' for

But yet times is changin', cats is still bangin' and shit

Set trippin' and throwin' up their sign language

But we gon' show you how it's properly done

Lights, cameras, uh-uh, action


[Chorus: Grand Agent]

This is it, y'all, that I live my life

On the mic is my type of hype, yeah, it's only right

Where ya at? (Planet Asia)

Where ya at? (Planet Asia)

This is it, y'all, that I live my life

On the mic is my type of hype, yeah, it's only right (Hip-hop)

Where ya at? (Grand Agent)

Where ya at? (Grand Agent)


[Verse 2: Grand Agent]

This is it, y'all, no more than the one fall bout with fate

Confrontation of a dream I used to contemplate

Greatest author on the planet with the ghetto twist

Versus the inner child who now knows to never wish

You've got to exercise caution when you using words

It ain't enough that every unspoken thought is heard

And I was fashioned in the image of who's hearin' me, thus

God is grand, not for purposes of tyranny

This is it, y'all, the freedom that I knew was coming

Justice is in activity, this is your summons

It's but a short stroll from the cradle to the grave

Just keep your boots laced, you in the company of knaves

That's always and forever on the heat wave tip

I first found mastery when I was a beat slave

I was brought before a jury of my own fears

For lyin' to myself and sentenced to a wasted year

I did that, and then the prompt returnin' to the microphone

Made a vow that I'ma never leave this life alone

And got busy revolutionizing rap with awareness

The closest to a battle rap you hear is this

All's fair, now to hustle up a couple sales

But I don't need some customers, I need a clientele

I need constituents, a land mass and a navy

To roll with me should the need arise to go crazy


[Pre-Chorus]

When I'm fiendin' for a microphone


[Chorus: Grand Agent]

This is it, y'all, that I live my life

On the mic is my type of hype, yeah, it's only right

Where ya at? (Grand Agent)

Where ya at? (Grand Agent)

This is it, y'all, that I live my life

On the mic is my type of hype, yeah, it's only right (Hip-hop)

Where ya at? (Planet Asia)

Where ya at? (Planet Asia)


[Verse 3: Planet Asia]

Verbal warfare, the fiend of the mic ready to strike you with the standard

So understand, this is what we live our life for

Beats, rhymes, street tales on down to puberty

Stick shiftin' shame, uplifting the Black community with culture

'Cause this is how we wild on fakes

Y'all better chill or get grilled just like salmon steaks

On the mic I'm something vicious, always on point

Like period, that's why the DJs be playing the joints

Spittin' precisely, straight from the heart

'Til the last buck is made, I will forever rule the underground charts

That's on the yard, y'all cats are gettin' dealt with quickly

On the real, so just chill while I blaze another fifty


[Verse 4: Grand Agent]

This is it, y'all, the part where the rapper gets self righteous

What be goin' on inside to make me rhyme like this?

Maybe I'm Jehovah's witness, just another Joseph

Known as the father of it though my father wrote it

It's a sweet gig, but the social life is sour

They approach the very hour that you come to power

Some be comin' just to stone me and curse me, man

The best weapon I could have at that point is mercy

For far too many clout came in the afterlife

But if you hate me and I know it, then that's half the fight

The rest is knowin' that you hatin' 'cause I won your heart

And I'ma own it 'til me and my body come apart


[Pre-Chorus]

Where ya at?


[Chorus: Grand Agent]

This is it, y'all, that I live my life

On the mic is my type of hype, yeah, it's only right (Hip-hop)

Where ya at? (Grand Agent, hip-hop)

Where ya at? (Grand Agent)
