[Chorus: Joey Bada$$ & Capital STEEZ]

Before you fly you gotta run

Before you run your gotta walk

Before you walk you gotta crawl

Before you crawl you gotta be born

Said I came this far we can't go back

Tell me how you feel, cause I really need to know that

[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]

As dusk turns to dawn, I keep growing, seeking knowledge

Keep knowing seeing cheese without my teeth showing

Thats right, I'm hot now headed to the top now

I got it on lock down about to hold my whole block down

In Pac town, rolling up a dub, Santa Cruisin'

Enthused with my tunes, got the west showing love

See my name on the bills, and people showing up

To see me, shit is real

'Cause I ain't even old enough to buy lotto tickets

But I guess my motto didn't lie

People don't listen until you're really fly

Top five dead or alive thinking I fit the five

But you gonna think I lied, cuz I ain't ever hid my eyes

The ill minded, free will signin

World domination consignment, I co-sign it

I done reach my goal, but I'm not done being a minor

Underground climbing, they can't dig it, they can't find us

[Chorus: Joey Bada$$ & Capital STEEZ]

Before you fly you gotta run

Before you run your gotta walk

Before you walk you gotta crawl

Before you crawl you gotta be born

Said I came this far we can't go back

Tell me how you feel, cause I really need to know that

[Verse 2: Dirty Sanchez]

It's the Brooklyn representative, no artificial intelligence

Just thinking, enlightening, ain't even take flight yet

I know you feel me, pull out your camcorders

Halves and ounces just ordered, you see a change, it's just my aura

Over time I became a reflection of brains, cash, mary jane

What did I forget to mention?

Well fat blunts since the age of 15

Y'all smoke toothpicks, I pick the steak out of my teeth

Bon appetit, I'd rather be home sick than home-sick

Plastic cups with rubbetussin to keep me posted like pics

Not Budgin or ballin, and you can't run out of here

Don't blink til you reach the top, uh keep up with stairs, no competition

Y'all? smoke on the regular, my way only high grades

Inhale the indica, exhale the nebula

This cypher secular no sharing when they offer us

Fallin off - that's preposterous

Pick up on your chakras, you on the right trail

Come sip that Ciroc with us, no facade

I talk to myself, word to God

Put your hands together, no applause

Fuck the law, digress and fall, progress evolve, fuck the rest of y'all

I'm Professional, and I'm still Dirty

[Chorus: Joey Bada$$ & Capital STEEZ]

Before you fly you gotta run

Before you run your gotta walk

Before you walk you gotta crawl

Before you crawl you gotta be born

Said I came this far we can't go back

Tell me how you feel, cause I really need to know that

[Verse 3: CJ Fly]

A couple chips for the meal, that's a lot though

Nothing but crisp dollar bills

The more the merrier, the richer I feel

I'm living ideal, about to throw the tints on my wheels

My homies steal, leave you still with the steel

That when shit get reel

It all started way back in the day

Took the high-way but still wasn't trafficking weight

Said fuck it pass me the J card what we happen to play

Against me, just know you might end up having to pay

Since I'm the champ of the game

Smack down the face or just get smacked in your face

Get out of line or get put back in your place

I know it won't be fun having your back in a brace

So just watch what you happen to say

[Chorus: Joey Bada$$ & Capital STEEZ]

Before you fly you gotta run

Before you run your gotta walk

Before you walk you gotta crawl

Before you crawl you gotta be born

Said I came this far we can't go back

Tell me how you feel, cause I really need to know that

[Verse 4: Capital STEEZ]

I call it astromagentum, I woke up in a dream state

This life may seem great, but it ain't

It ain't the first time I seen gray

With more high grade Purple Rain for the pain

I said I hate to complain

But lately, all I see is days are the same

The ways that it strays can persuade me to change

But I blame it on the game cause it made me this way

I bet it started when I played Cee-Lo

Four, five, six, then out came STEELO

A misfit, I've been addicted to the weed smoke

All the youngin' ever knew was reload the demos and steam on

Dream on, the plan to put his team on is mapped out

We gotta cross the map now

Caught a power surge and then we blacked out

I ain't tapping out unless it's blunt ashes and clouds

[Chorus: Joey Bada$$ & Capital STEEZ]

Before you fly you gotta run

Before you run your gotta walk

Before you walk you gotta crawl

Before you crawl you gotta be born

Said I came this far we can't go back

Tell me how you feel, cause I really need to know that
