Ok, listen here. Put your hands in the air, if you really never cared for people all of your ear

Tell the haters to shut up, yell it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer

Ok, now we’re here. Put your hands in the air. If you got it right the first time you keep ‘em right there

Still tell the haters to shut up, shout it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer, rise

[Verse 1]

Now that your hands are raised, let me speak to the brigade

Let me start out with a quote I heard today. Scratch that

On second thought I got to fucking much to say so, unplug your cable

Go grab your neighbour and a baby out the cradle

‘Cause lately I’ve been merking all this work that’s from my label

Yeah that’s my fucking family, built to my anatomy

I’m gradually seeing all the things I was imagining years before

Even more reason for me to succeed, man I breathe this

The ease in my breed. This rap is a breeze, but life isn’t easy

Ayo, you got to believe

And check the company you’re keeping, or they leave you when you bleed

Or slit your throat while you’re sleeping

I’ll help you out of the deep end

Indeed these question frequent my mind

With the pen, it’s just leaking

Yo people, if you hear me speaking I need a reply

Grab me a drink and with my free hand I’ma reach for the sky

Man, if you with me raise ‘em high

[Hook]

Ok, listen here. Put your hands in the air, if you really never cared for people all of your ear

Tell the haters to shut up, yell it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer

Ok, now we’re here. Put your hands in the air. If you got it right the first time you keep ‘em right there

Still tell the haters to shut up, shout it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer, rise

[Verse 2]

I thank y’all for my energy. Days off for my enemy

I’m putting in overtime now ‘cause my mind’s getting ahead of me

Ain’t no way I could slow down, no I never popped amphetamines

Sometimes I got so many rhymes in my head that I need ten of me

I gather my words from shit that I heard when I walk or movies I’ve watched or friends that I’ve lost

Honest, I don’t mind talking about it

[?] is all that nonsense

And so I wrote The Black Box to empty out my closet

It’s a goal. I’m in a dojo, Sensei told me all he know

I used to hone my craft on the low, but now it’s my time to rise

Eyes are open hoping I can reach the vocal needs of thought-provoking subject matter

And not these fucking jokes

I’m tired of rap relating to laughter

Half of these rappers cancer

Stay real’s what I’m after

Dodge snakes then climb the ladder

Eat well but don’t get fatter

I fell but I’m back at her

No time for being sad. I really couldn’t be gladder

[Hook]

Ok, listen here. Put your hands in the air, if you really never cared for people all of your ear

Tell the haters to shut up, yell it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer

Ok, now we’re here. Put your hands in the air. If you got it right the first time you keep ‘em right there

Still tell the haters to shut up, shout it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer, rise

[Refrain]

Ok, listen here. Put your hands in the air, if you really never cared for people all of your ear

Tell the haters to shut up, shout it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer

[Hook]

Ok, listen here. Put your hands in the air, if you really never cared for people all of your ear

Tell the haters to shut up, yell it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer

Ok, now we’re here. Put your hands in the air. If you got it right the first time you keep ‘em right there

Still tell the haters to shut up, shout it so they can hear

Ladies and fellas this is our year so raise your beer, rise

[Outro: Sample]

There’s two types of human beings

One of them goes for what he wants and moves towards his goal, his objection

Moves towards becoming himself

Becoming a man, becoming authentic, becoming more honest, becoming the better person

He’s moving towards becoming amazing

The second type of person, he’s not
