They Never Knew - Intellectual

Chorus:

They be asking how we do it, do it

Like they never really knew it, knew it

This is redefined music, music

They be asking how we do it, do it

[Verse 1: Mentality]

I'm Mentality, I rip it rapidly but way too casually

And when the music's in my ears I'm headed out this galaxy

I'm going and flowing no stopping my motion I'm on another level

Saving the game and I'm a leader, call me the surgeon general

Picking it up, then bringing it down, my middle name is versatility

Natural ability, lames can't even chill with me, Hah

Redefine Movement is real, we comin' around with our new sound

Making these people really feel

A message through our lines, a lot of these people always lie

When I'm in the booth I really try to change the world like every time

Every day is a new blessin', constantly confessin'

When the microphone turns on you hear the pop like smith and wesson

Tried to put me jail, cause I slaughter instrumentals

Then they slowly realized, to this game I'm so essential

Me and my dude, ATM, we giving the track the special sauce

And we meshing well together but we don't even play lacrosse

Chorus:

They be asking how we do it, do it

Like they never really knew it, knew it

This is redefined music, music

They be asking how we do it, do it

I say this blessing correction is teaching me a new lesson

I'm leading all the progression up on the table I'm pressing

I keep a pen for collection, electing in this depression

Know this world is depressing so I be working not resting

But I'mma take it slow, keep a bar on the go

Spittin' in my fucking cup so I can look at my flow

Sittin in the letica so I ain't touching the floor

I'm just a mc, not another rapper you know

Spitting the peace, keep a bar on the lease

I leave em all deceased cause my lyrics the piece

That's the realest I can be, wake up in adidas like yo boy was Ice-T

Keep my mic as my tool cause I never feel free

That's the definition Of mellas that's living like me

This is real life, not something you see on TV

H-I-P H-O-P, that's the soul in me
