[Intro]

Serious y'all, yeah

To the beat y'all, yeah

What

One two uh, yeah, yo

Check it

Yeah

I be that, I be that, I be that


[Verse 1]

I be that young humble man spreadin' love with the fam and all the

Hip-hop fans all across the land and Serious what

I roll the streets with a strut

Like an Uzi to my foes, when they see me, they duck

When to press your luck, **** around, they get stuck

Yeah the artist Serious does it up on all cuts

I ride the tracks like a trailer, pump the beats through my veins

And yo thе rush is so fast, I get sharp pains and migraines

As for this hip-hop ****, it won't quit

Yeah as long as I'm alivе, I be keepin' my grip

Holdin' on tight, representin', doin' it right

And one love to all the other heads shinin' they light

Although many thought I wouldn't make it, they been mistaken

As my lyrics pulsate and plant thoughts for the nation

From the attic to the basement's where I started to rap

Other **** writin' their rhymes over instrumental tracks

Since then, I made a come up doin' things on my own

Dedication and inspiration made me do it alone

Still yet, I can't forget, back then, who I was with

It was Skinny Jamal and my DJ, Big Mic

But it's a new year now, niggas doin' they own thing

From young bulls to young man is where I began (Yeah)


[Chorus]

The S-E-R-I-O-U-S

Make the people nod they head from east to west

My flav' sounds good in your Ac' or Lex'

Make you wanna turn it up, and give respect, yo

The S-E-R-I-O-U-S

Make the people nod they head from east to west

My flav' sounds good in your Ac' or Lex'

Nissan, Jetta, whatever kind of car you whip


[Verse 2]

Prepare the track, record it, then dump it on DAT

After that, then circulate it, all over the map

National rap status is where I be at, yo

From my borough to yours, now I'm up to bat

Hittin' home runs, the hard hitter, the no quitter

Over fat beats my lyrics is placed, served for dinner

The second paragraph is comin' at full blast

No I'm never gon' stop makin' vibeable tracks

I'ma stick with this

Makin' music and doin' business

Make the people nod they head in every city or district

Like the Tuff Crew, my style is so damn tough

Put your head to the woofer and you'll wind up gettin' bucked

It's like mind over matter makin' glass shields shatter, I

Stay in the cut, not much into chit chatter

Serious the mellow man, never startin' ****, I got

Mind control, my thoughts is quarter to gold

And I'ma share it with the world, watch my rhymes unfold

And meditate to my track while my story is told


[Chorus]

The S-E-R-I-O-U-S

Make the people nod they head from east to west

My flavor sounds good in your Ac' or Lex'

Make you wanna turn it up, and give respect, yo

The S-E-R-I-O-U-S

Make the people nod they head from east to west

My flav' sounds good in your Ac' or Lex'

Nissan, Jetta, whatever kind of car you whip


[Verse 3]

My hail drops on your head

Like a virus, my lyrics spread

Hit the city, spark it up for all the hip-hop heads

I gotta keep focus

Grab the grain, keep smokin'

With these beats I got

A speaker's bound to get broken

Check it

What's my name, on my arm it's in gray

From the articles I got my **** be shinin' like a gold chain

Some food for the brain, somethin' to ease the pain

That will forever if I can't [?] my two friends

Havin' affairs like makes music be bangin' in most states

Over in California I be causin' the earthquakes

Yeah yeah, all my articles I share

For the world to retrieve on your station you hear (Ha)


[Chorus]

The S-E-R-I-O-U-S

Make the people nod they head from east to west

My flav' sound good in your Ac' or Lex'

Make you wanna turn it up, and give respect

The S-E-R-I-O-U-S

Make the people nod they head from east to west

My flav' sound good in your Ac' or Lex'

Nissan, Jetta, whatever kind of car you whip, yeah


[Outro]

Uh

One two y'all, yeah, what

I'm runnin' do y'all, yeah

Serious what, uh
