Pushing the Space - Intellectual

[Intro: JessB]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-uh

[Verse 1: JessB]

Push the system, push the line, push the mind, push the limit

We gon' shine, the light, you could never dim it

Never been a gimmick, and that's word to my spirit

Stand in power, this is us and we never timid in it

It's in the lyrics, maybe you could get it

Maybe you don't understand, maybe you should listen

Maybe if you let me live it you won't need to mimic

Got our own flavor, own heat in the skillet

This a shoe that never fitted

Paint a picture vivid, nah, you ain't really with it

Shit got wild, but they only want a snippet

This my life, so you bet I'm gonna get it (ay)

[Bridge 1: JessB]

I got my people in view

The love all around me, your hate can't get through

Go learn who the fuck you be talking to

Watch us get our life all down the avenue (ay)

[Hook: JessB]

Get out my face, we been pushing the space

I don't want to play your game, running in my own race (ay)

[Verse 2: JessB]

Get out my mind, I been pushing the times

I see my kin on his knees, and they won't let him rise

I see them look down at us, don't see us for size

They can see that we're hungry, only serving us lies

While these suits out here, they committing the crimes

But the boys in blue want to draw red lines

Shit got wild, make you pause one, two

Lifting the bar, yeah, we strong too

Honeypot sweet, we got to be strong too

I serve you up one, I can serve up two

Here right now, for the long run too

I ain't leaving, that's a sneak preview (ay)

[Bridge 2: JessB]

Watch them there, yo, they do they thing

Watch that step, yeah, watch that swing

Watch us flex, fuck what you think

The vibe stay on and the hair gon' kink

[Hook: JessB & ]

Get out my face, we been pushing the space

I don't want to play your game, running in my own race (ay)

Pushing the space

I don't want to play your game

[Verse 3: Phodiso]

Power, uh-huh

You can feel it in the air

Look hard enough, and you can see it in our glare

Tswana boy, don't believe? just check the hair

Maasai woman, JessB, not chilling in a chair

Out here (setilo sa bogosi) we call that a thron

Always in the zone, and we see them try to clone us

Lock us up for a J, but always try to stone us

Slanging capital, like they could ever own us

They pitch the fork, crossing clans known

For more than dance and singing with a smooth tone

We talk hands and spoons, they bring knife to bone

Make soup of our inheritance, then sip to groans

That's why we stay working

Can't tell me we ain't worthy

I see the vipers lurking

Slitherin' for the strike

Considerin', slippin' in

Positionin' to try hurt me

(Morena o ntshwere)

Come through and get dirty

[Hook]

Get out my face, we been pushing the space

I don't want to play your game, running in my own race (ay)

Pushing the space

I don't want to play your game
