Past That - Intellectual

[Intro]

It's-it's-its the Black Knight

[Chorus: V.Rose]

What's the word?

Do you love me, are you for me, is it good?

Call it crazy but I need it, understood

What's the way they gon' tell it in the 'hood?

'Cause I know in my, in my, in my, in my age

Showin' up on mine, they were teachin' every day

You could be straight up when you tell me what's good

What's the way they gon' tell it in the 'hood? Uh

[Verse 1: Mission]

I don't call nobody, I know I could get ahead (Huh)

Put the city on my back 'cause every day's a handful

Come at Margie, Rhonda, then I turn you Tony Zale

I put that on everything I love and what I stand for

I just speak the truth and now they wanna come and cancel

Make your bed, that's where you gon' lay your head

I speak for my city when I say we tryna' get ahead

Shoot like Machiavelli when I'm speakin' what the Savior said

Huh, yeah, had the nail and hammer here

Too legit like hammer nail

Fresh to death, no Amberlin

Why they wanna damage him?

Pray the Lord, my soul to keep

Right before I go to sleep

Man, it ain't no food in me

Became a man on Booker Street

[Chorus: V.Rose]

What's the word?

Do you love me, are you for me, is it good?

Call it crazy but I need it, understood

What's the way they gon' tell it in the 'hood?

'Cause I know in my, in my, in my, in my age

Showin' up on mine, they were teachin' every day

You could be straight up when you tell me what's good

What's the way they gon' tell it in the 'hood? Yeah

[Verse 2: Mission]

Woah, yeah

Got in my bag and got in my feelings (Yeah)

They be into that line, that really ain't none of my business (None of my business)

Got no energy unless it's growin' a business (Growin' a business)

I had to show mark to get out of his hand, just show up and kill it (Show up and kill it)

You cannot think, just gotta go get it

I know what you said 'bout how you livin'

Hide yo' head, you been hidden

The louder you talk, don't hide your timid

Ain't no quit, I 'ways try to finish

Work in your office, that's a gimmick

I went through me and watch 'em mimic

I will be clean once I'm presented

Watch me show up wit' no blemish, yeah

Yeah, can't do too much talkin' once I ever did (I ever did)

Been at this for a while, I live my own experience (Live my own experience)

Young gun, watch your tone, you comin' to a ten (You comin')

I'm not actin' funny, movin' past that (Movin' past)

I'm past that, yeah, I'm past that

They was smokin' somethin', past that

[Outro: Mission, V.Rose]

Past that

But I'm past that

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Less is more, you don't need all this, dude

Y'all bogus
