[Intro: Russ]

Statik Selektah

Yeah, turn my headphones up

I'm talkin' to myself, haha, yeah

Statik, this beat's crazy, CHOMP 2

I think you gotta just put me in the conversation, you feel me?

Yeah

[Verse 1: Russ]

Gotta get it by any means, I fight fires

Then surround the doubters weighin' heavy boy like Dwight Myers

I'm a livewire off of Neo (Yeah)

One shot could start the war like Sarajevo

Crusader for the art, it's like I play for Valparaíso

I just raised the standards (Yeah)

The first album made history (Truth)

I made 'em change thе banners

And I wasn't in their plans

But that's too bad 'cause I'm cеmented (Yeah)

Y'all didn't think I'd get here, just imagine where I'm headed

I'ma send into the Apex, do more, say less

You ain't gettin' money, they just keep givin' you rainchecks

Hoes want me to fuck 'em raw but they carryin' snake eggs

People say it's chess, it's not checkers, don't even play chess (Shh)

I been gettin' cheese, I never said when, it keeps comin'

This sound like increased budgets, you should leave now

There's Bloods around, you got a weak stomach

I ain't throwin' up shit, that's just who I fuck with

Movin' pounds legally, I became the plug, bitch (CHOMP)

Used to have hoop dreams, put nothin' above it

A child torn between destinies, LeToya Luckett

I gave this my all, though whats left over is my luck, bitch

I'll show you where you goin' if you show me who you run with

Dumb bitch, I dread women who be tryna twist my head in knots

Energetic cars too expensive, so I'm jettin' off

To Aruba or Morocco

Or maybe to the pyramids, I feel like Santiago

[Chorus: Russ & CyHi The Prynce]

And even if the sky might fall (Yeah)

Trust me, dawg, I'm gon' ball

There ain't no way that I'm not, there ain't no way that I'm not

Gonna get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah, yeah-yeah

And even if the sky might fall (Might fall)

Trust me, dawg, I'm gon' ball (I'm gon' ball)

There ain't no way that I'm not, there ain't no way that I'm not

Gonna get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah, yeah-yeah

(Yeah)

[Verse 2: CyHi The Prynce]

I'm on a different level with it

When I was young, I had several wishes

I tried to tell 'em to Michelle and Bridget

I used to ask 'em for their numbers, but I would never get it, huh

Now I'm obsessed with chasin' seven digits

Took my pebbles and my pedals and I peddled through the ghetto with it

.38 special in case the devil visit

Pessimistic, ask niggas that was successful with it

Jealous critics, man, I swear this world hella wicked

Seldom kickin', like Ike and Tina in the limousine

Pistol under the pillow for niggas tryna kill your dreams, huh

I weighed my options on a triple beam, huh

Bernard Hopkins, make 'em kiss the ring

Then them niggas start hatin', I guess it's in your genes

Keep you peaceful, my life ain't never been this serene

Somewhere with a Sicilian queen gettin' guillotine

Made it to the Golden Globes from the silver screen

Fine China like an island in the Philippines

It's not a diamond but I'm stylin' in this Philippe Plein

Quit thinking 'cause a niggas homeless that he just a fiend

He told me, "You can only see where you goin' if your windows clean"

To the soul

Like Florida to Baltimore, it took a toll

On the road less traveled, y'all wouldn't have drove

Potholes and gravel, I couldn't fold so

[Chorus: Russ]

And even if the sky might fall (Yeah)

Trust me, dawg, I'm gon' ball

There ain't no way that I'm not, there ain't no way that I'm not

Gonna get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah, yeah-yeah

And even if the sky might fall (Might fall)

Trust me, dawg, I'm gon' ball (I'm gon' ball)

There ain't no way that I'm not, there ain't no way that I'm not

Gonna get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah, yeah-yeah

[Verse 3: Lloyd Banks]

Uh, hard to manipulate me with a salary

I came in ten toes, neighborhood casualty

You will never box me in the one ring favorite duality

The reality is fortune and fame brought more pain actually

Her master key, that friendship's hyped up, formers attackin' me

Beautiful flashbacks, funerals matte black

Distractions assumin' you snap back, boomers do have that

Brains blue, gruesome and abstract, who gives an ass cap?

You met me out shinin', thought I'd peep, few summers past that

Shit bouncing off of me, bulletproof jackets, there's still attachments

At this point, just tryna top what I've done

I'm mirror matching, it's impossible to cap my potential

The ceiling's crackin', no resemblance here, you fell behind lackin'

Two tears of passion, haters waitin' on me

Hope my old lady's still prayin' for me

You got examples to be set, lil' man ain't gon' stay a shorty

'Fore I let you fuck with that, I'll go out in a blaze of glory

'Til they call me, end of story, nigga

[Chorus: Russ]

And even if the sky might fall (Yeah)

Trust me, dawg, I'm gon' ball

There ain't no way that I'm not, there ain't no way that I'm not

Gonna get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah, yeah-yeah

And even if the sky might fall (Might fall)

Trust me, dawg, I'm gon' ball (I'm gon' ball)

There ain't no way that I'm not, there ain't no way that I'm not

Gonna get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, yeah, yeah-yeah
