The Takeoff - Intellectual

[Intro]

Yeah

Uh-huh

Ha-ha

Yeah (Check it out, now)

Ch-(Check it out, now)

Check it (Check it out, now)

(Check it out, now)

I'm in-I'm in the zone right now

[Verse 1]

I let you know I'm not perfect, hope you all bear with me

Switchin' styles to what's hot, 'cause originality's rare

Hopefully my persona can get me man of the year

Like the Pope of the Catholic; no Vatican here

I pray to G-O-D I see the dreams that I've been plannin' for years

And be able to take my circle to the Madison Square

Uh, and all thе girls that turned me down in my past

I'll probably see half of them thеre; it's bad but it's fair

I hold tongue for no one; young hero

Bruce Leroy; no Shogun

One, zero-zero, zero, zero, zero, comma, zero, zero

Zero, zero, zero, zero, heh-heh

Hope you got the picture, that was like a tongue twister

And if you didn't get it, I was paintin' you millions, nigga

Numbers searchin' for them commas like the Fanboys

What's that damn noise? That's the sound of brilliance

Lines by the trillions, height about 5'6"

Pipe around like 6, bars like buildings

Swagger like fashion, lights camera action

I'm rawer than flashin', rappin' wit' a passion

Farthest from passive when I'm behind the mic

And it's like a relay on the track when I pass it

Shout-out to my niggies; Wrekless, no crashin' and shit

We just be chillin', crunchin' with the captain

Gray scruffy Polo shoes with a V-neck

Not many fits, but I fit what you don't see yet

Got a lot of ladies, but the woman of my dreams

Got her own set of standards that my swagger ain't meet yet

But I'll get there just as long as I be Jet

The lock is on her heart, I just ain't found the key yet

And I just wanna be that man

But the closer that me get, the farther I see it, damn!

It's funny how my lost hope is my last hope

Fairy tale endin', we don't need another sad song

On a brighter note, I got to keep my notepad on

Inside of my mind, innumerable piles of lines

Thousands of signs; none of which say, "stop"

Never seen a good guy play cop

And never been envious of other rappers and whatever they got

'Cause in the end, baby 'me' is what they not

Gotta keep true to my soul

I know it's made of gold, and keepin' it is a goal

I found more heart than I ever had before

So speaking to my heart, "I will never let you go, no"

So-now and therefore

The heart that I found is everything I care for

Just as long as it's good, I won't have to hear, "no"

Now, it's only fear I'm dreadin' like loc hair growth

For the most part, I just let it cruise like the coast

I gotta stay true to my roots like a float

To you, you may see me take a break, but I will never break off

'Cause now I got the propellers for the takeoff
