[Intro]

Word, check

Whats the word, word

I don't even know how to start this...


[Verse 1]


Walk the streets with this demon stepping in my tracks
I swear he's got his foothold tatted on my back
Man, I guess its human nature to chase all the stacks

Talking sock or tease (socrates)
$#&@ your theories, philosophies turn to facts
A fish rapper is a first in the public's eyes, like see

In this industry, in the mass's eyes, its felony
Make my luck, no serendipity
And haters start feeling me

Call the $#&@ing shots; I'm the conductor of this symphony
Woah, survival of the fitting on these coliseum floors
But it's the strongest ones that are on their knees begging at heavens doors

Pull up to Saint Peter with your Chainz missing,
Your presence open on the premises all for the 2 coming,
Number 46, proudly born in the thunder state, feel me

Shouts to the murrah victims, in the Alfred P. Building
Still reminisce; big pap would bring me down town
168 lives found, live from the underground

Add some lettuce to the cheddar, some buddah and some shelter
Told me never stare or they'll get that nine and wet ya
Grew up bumping marshall ignoring all the laughter

Told them I'll be great, always focused on what really mathers
Talkin braids and waves, while I'm really just tryna catch some fade
My composition brings these competition down the drain

Italy, Greece, talkin Miami Bay
Can't compete, catch me on the corner ripping heat


[Hook] x2

Had a dream that I was the sailor of my own fate

God showed me silly me, how that boat had sank
Cross on my neck, and there a lot ups and downs
But make sure you hear word the when the name come back around





[Verse 2]

It goes, a verbal $$#assin, a legend in the making

Give me thirty years, to prove my name on the holly pavement
Always felt the pain of a champ, feeling shame
In vision days of paradise, off the bay, talkin champagne

Till then, I guess I'm chucking E, with that E&J
$#&@ ambivalence, brother this a one way
Spring time fine, catch me Marching into April

Listening to the tunes, May have liked a girl, call her June
Stand back, or let the torch burn you
Stand back, or let this game turn you

Drop heat, my brother was a flamer, hint
I'd stay up all night, listening to the man vent
My music's rising to a new plateau

It's been a rocky ride, conceal it with a new capsule
See who has the best hands, knock you in the temple
Throw you out your membership, make it quite simple

Potentially, greatest that you'll ever see
Getting better each day, while ya'll staying elementary
Critics startin feeling me, inevitably

The name is for eternity
Working on them gains, like I came out of the penitentiary
Only sixteen, but I'm killing sixteens

When family 6 deep, you can't vent with only a sixteen
Bright like little Kevin, showing off them tactics
But you can catch me home alone, studying illmatic


[Hook] x2


Had a dream I was the sailor of my own fate
God showed me silly me, how that boat had sank
Cross on my neck, and there a lot ups and downs
But make sure you hear word the when the name come back around
