I’m just tryin to make something outta nothing..

Word

So ..this is how it is sometimes...

Word Up

Report high light art imitates life

The written gem shining like the wisdom in the eye of christ

Black youth comprehend the science of life

Seeing of a water living foul and then dyin trife

You can be a rap mogul my work cut up and sculpt tones

Through a fantasy we hold true

Life’s like a short story where you build wealth and the cost is used

Touch with the old you, a lower class nobody

The opposite of what urban radio is sayin is a hot beat

Seem as if dissolution my clique's rulin

I ain’t face movement in the verse reveal a blueprint

Vocally I stomp out beats and leave a giant shoeprint

The new face in rap music, you be a player

While I change the game if the rules are a nuisance rep for my ill unit

It ain’t nothing I visualize seein how you live in the illusion

A trance when the beats bumpin

I can pioneer your hit like I'm Rick Rubin

Has-Lo is on production, yeah

...dollar outta 15 cent...

Word Up

..money ain’t worth nothin nowadays though..

Word

Communicatin sub ether, loving rap even as a little youth

When we used to wear a hustler or a brushed caesar

For the people home rapping in the mirror..something gotta change

Still seemin out of range, I know the feeling

They say I’m analytical as if what they listen to is makin any real sense

A lost star reappearin I’m living proof the streets killin the youth

I try to shield em, anyone you hear from is going hard, going hard

Never gonna pop even though his song goin crop

So at large only yall couldn't know the odds, I throw a bomb

Like a talk from the oligarch, they get you amped like a volca charge

Solid I’m a cobra covert as

You need varifying who the voice is

Yo I shoot off raps like it was 3 pointers

It got weird when the biz grew enormous and corporate

Start a label, and make your boys rich

We forget, what it was like before this

But now we live and die for it

Yo

Live for this, die for this

Eat breath this knaumean

Word Up

Seems like it might take you over sometimes

Keep shining ..keep shining

Keep shining know what I'm sayin

Ain't about nothing

Somebody gon always be playin but

Ain't about nothing

Keep Shining

Don’t forget
