lyrics

this song is transport, taking you to a magical place.
whether present, future movements, or some back in the day.
Sankofa, chill the God with those immaculate breaks….
You think you've got it locked, but now we're cracking the safe

I feel like Wooly Willy, iron filings in the sink from shaving
got to keep my skull smooth, ideas (steady) incubating
I’ve been awake when the dull dudes have been mistaken
For something worthy of time, taken to the brink to break them
What I think’s contagious, gracious with a blink of nascence
I keep time with the beat, no need for trinket bracelets
A rhythm native writing to the way my feet strike the ground
Might’ve found something dope and then I write it down
I sell it by the pound, dap, props or what you call it
Padlock the brusque with dollops that bust the rust symbolic
I must acknowledge all the pioneers who laid the path
Super Sam illest mammal on the mic, the flavor stashed
I try to take it back to show you how it all began
Don’t want to forget where I came from, the fault of San


took my broken English to the shop to get an estimate
they tried to give me a quote, but I told them that i repped a bit
Already wrote my own, so I didn’t quite require theirs
Living life with rhymes to spare Pry inside of my affairs
They tried to snare a bit of soul, but I turned them down fast
I won’t cosign that garbage for a clown sash
I’m here to rep my people doing dope things daily
Finding time between the rest of life to fight the lazy
Cause that couch of mine becomes a vampire
Sucking every ounce of energy from me, I’m so damn tired
Man, I’ve just got to get up get out and move it
Goodie Mob had the plan, find me making some music
Nothing wrong with a song being made for amusement
Where would a cross be, without the betrayal of Judas?
So many tattoo shops would need to get fresh flash
Bet you the warrior band would be lonely, yep fact
