about

This track features Slaughterhouse and West Coast veteran Crooked I. This track focuses on hip-hop from the perspective of four individuals. The cuts by Dj Grazzhoppa serve as the entree to the appetizing verses.

lyrics

Verse 1 (A.L. Laureate)
I stand uneven at the bottom of the map
Should I stop what I’m doing and chase what’s in demand
I’ll be labeled the man but what good will that do
Making money off of music that for real it ain’t true//
People tell me all the time your stuff will never sell
Cause I talk about life and less about myself
The chains and the cars had me once lost at sea
But now I spit rhymes with virtuosity //

Verse 2 (Crooked I)
I don’t need an ice chain, just a nice mic game
And the right frame of mind, to explain my life pain
I been through enough drama to slice the right vein
Or do it like Cobain, aim right for the brain//
But I maintain, and I refrain from sinking
Game I’m speaking is older than the Ancient Incans
Main distinction, between me and lames who face extinction
Is mainly my gangster thinking//
Concepts never die, though the flesh may
When it does, it’ll be another Crooked the next day
Kids listen to everything the best in the West say
And for me, they’ll hop out busting a SK//
I’m a leader, who just happens to do hot songs
I’m a soldier, there’s no hood, I do not roam
You remember when Death Row made me the heir to Tupac’s throne
I bounced out to pursue my own//

Verse 3 (A.L. Laureate)
In Miami I be rocked by the turbulent waters
Where the clouds turn grey ready to rain on my parade
Skill can’t be taught that’s where i got the advantage
Since others don’t have it rap is in danger of collapsing//
A whirlpool is formed and Miami is up it
It’s going down the drain but dudes won’t admit it
I strive to succeed others trip on the same stone
Now I choose to make change without drowning in c notes//

Verse 4 (Praverb the Wyse)
Va representative, trained to stay discipline
I’m on my grind, moving that weight, I stay diligent
A million emcees like me, with the same benefits
Attacking A & R’s, man we changed militants//
In the spotlight tonight, we flame infinite
We avant-garde, y’all stick to that lame fiddling
I’m hip-hop, combination of pain and deliverance
Delivering the good news to anybody listening//
I write from the heart I never fake the passion
Took a bite from the apple while the snake was laughing
I love hip-hop; I won’t disgrace the past tense
Or degrade women, I’m James Bond while rapping//
Don Juan, while macking, forget it, it’s just me
Teamed up with A.L., Crooked, and Teddy
I keep your attention, without a hook or a melody
All I need is a rhyme book and music that’s heavy (word)//

Chorus (A.L. Laureate)
Step up to any corner, you’ll get lost in the center
The sense of confusion will be all that you remember
Questions pile up but there’s only one response
We ready for the world, the lines are now drawn//

Verse 5 (Cayoz Da Beast)
Cayoz the name, 21 and still underrated
Things I’ve experienced left me a bit ill-natured
At times I was feeling lower than a crustacean
But through the art of hip-hop I filter frustration//
And irritation and channel it towards innovation
No imitation my love for this is genuine
I’m in to win but don’t get confused I’m not feminine
Since the age of 15 been holding mics with the best of em//
I ain’t your average run of the mill with minimal skill
I’m the Real Deal Holyfield like Wade with the pill
Man my thoughts are mine alone but why keep em concealed
When I always got props just to speak what I feel//
This here is my dream ain’t no time for relaxing
Real talk this is more than just a skin deep passion
This here is my dream ain’t no time for relaxing
Take hip-hop away I bet you'll find me relapsing//
