The Jump - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Ivan B]

Yeah

Forget the feelings, let me rap

Heard your record, took a nap

This ain't ESPN, but you'll play this back

Would you look at that?

I write these lines and they get it tat

Dropped out of college to take you to class

My heart's sick of always thinkin' back

And throws up the cards that it's dealt

That's a cardiac, ay

I pick up the pen and I wonder who got it like I do

I look at the team and you know that I got you

We takin' a cab, but I'll get us to Cabo

One day, man, I promise, just be here tomorrow

Live fast, that's life

Life comes fast, that's why

Grow wings, now time flies

Don't pass time with pastimes, yeah

Here we go; step inside a studio

"Ivan, why you changin' on us?"

"Why you switching up the flow?" Ay

All the comparisons, man, I'm so done with it

Used to give love, now I got no love for them

Used to be fans of you and you

Till I see all this hatred you're followin'

Look at your content, look at your topic

Some of you got it, most of you lost it

Just 'cause you shop at Hot Topic don't mean you're hot topic

The album is comin', just wait till I drop it, boy, woo!

Let me see, yeah, let me be

I don't always count the money, but I always count on me, yeah

I don't drink, but I see two faces

Half of y'all couldn't catch a buzz if I gave you two cases

Don't play me no playlist; I see no stars in this playlist

You stand out like flashlights in Vegas

Grip the mic, like, "Girl, how far can you take us?"

Let's go

[Chorus: Ivan B]

From the jump, everybody say they got you

But they don't

From the jump, I said I'm just doin' me

That's for sure

From the jump, I been workin' on the low

Let 'em know

From the jump, from the jump, from the jump

From the jump

Only see you givin' love when I'm up

Ay, what's up?

Bein' bitter holds you down, that's what it does

But it's love; see the score

Run it up; see the crowd

Turnin' up; see your time

Runnin' up; where were you at from the jump?

[Verse 2: Abstract]

I just shut it down in Germany

Stuntin' so hard I know exes could murder me

I got a record of wreckin' these records

Still ain't got a diamond involved in my necklace

I keep that gauntlet on me like I'm Thanos

Mean I could dead half of you, not even sweat it

They say they're next, that there is cute

To keep 'emselves goin', they'll say what they do

I'm part of a plan that's out of my hands

I guess that destiny's kind of a fan

I spoke with the stars, bargain through bars

Pray to the powers that be for a chance

Now it's A to the T to the double W

To keep up with the team, it would seem you would have to double you

I don't mean to trouble you

But it's lookin' like the Clone Wars already couldn't bare another one of you (whoa!)

I am more than I imagined (whoa!)

I'm personified passion (whoa!)

I am pedal to the metal

I could never settle, flyin', know I'm crashin' (whoa!)

They either mumble or spit it so fast

The masses get totally blind to the fact

That they ain't said a damn thing

A lot of false prophets, very few are kings

I remember dreamin' 'bout it, now I wake up to it

That's another flip (yeah!)

Ivan hit me for the single, they know how the thing go

That's another hit (yeah!)

We been plottin' for a long time, now the plan in motion like it's rigged (yeah!)

But you weren't with us from the jump

No, you were busy jumpin' ship
