[Verse 1]

I think of lyrics and write them, then other people recite them

Been under pressure like water, inside a fire hydrant

I was dying in this game, until I broke the silence

I'm a stubborn motherfucker, odds know I'm defiant

No-one does what I did, they're not bold enough to try it

I'm the underdog, yeah, rooting for The Fighting Irish

I'm not finished until I'm flying to private islands

I know my enemies see me when they close their eyelids

This ain't the average life, balance out the plus and minus

Tryna get a gold record, so they call me Unkle Midas

Try not to bite this, I'm out here to light the fires

Of creativity within a generation of writers

Who grew up with this rap shit, now I'm getting some traction

Now I'm reaching the masses, when it's mixed and it's mastered

Was inspired by Cube, my records buy em' in twos

Some will never get it, It's like they're forever confused


[Chorus]

Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea

After all that I been through, I still have a dream

Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped

When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch


[Verse 2]

Long as people are listening, to the dude from the QC

Then I'm really and truly fulfilling my duty

As an emcee on a certain level I'm trusted

To make music for people, who are looking for substance

In the records they're bumpin', don't get left in the cold

I've been told I'm a lyricist, like a Kendrick or Cole

Here we go, everybody will be mad at me again

Doesn't matter what I say, doesn't matter what I said

This is my life, so your opinion isn't involved

Getting bigger, people look at me when I am at the mall

Fascinated like they can't believe, they're seeing what they saw

On their smartphones and on their computers at home

You see strategically you probably wouldn't even be seeing me

If I never went balls out, and took on the industry

Yeah I rose to the challenge, my moves, throw to my balance

So many numbers coming in, I need to phone my accountant

And say


[Chorus]

Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea

After all that I been through, I still have a dream

Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped

When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch


[Verse 3]

What's the purpose of 80 verses if nobody heard 'em?

That's what rappers think when they take their careers and desert them

I've seen it time and again, that's why I look up to the Slims

The Shawn Carters, and all the others who just didn't quit

Because defeat is temporary, so I toss a hail mary

People tell me that they pray for me, others want me buried

Either way I'm a savage, with this rap shit, so what's the magic?

While I David Blaine it, levitate your speakers to your attic

Break the fucking shingles off, he's too hard, he's too soft

As a youth I would turn on hip hop and drift off

Now I've got some teens that are looking up to me

And adversaries staring at me through their little screens

Everybodys watching Unk all eyes on me

I grew up on 2Pac I am not afraid to speak

My mind so I do it let the thoughts roll out

I'm sticking to the mission and I'm staying on route


[Chorus]

(Look it!)

Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea

After all that I been through, I still have a dream

Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped

When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch

(Look it!)

Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea

After all that I been through, I still have a dream

Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped

When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch


[Outro]

Everything is moving
