You - DTMD

We a hell of a name

I’m tryna grab a whole nother level in plain

Possesed with a flow, and i rebel the main

Stream, choke your mind with an intelligent chain

Sometimes i be the type to wanna yell at the lame

Used to be the nigga who would dwell in the same

Places where they praise the irrelevant fame

Some say the black cats got a devilish aim

But i maintain we cool on the DL

Hugh, see we sell too

But i had to +straighten it out+ like CL Smooth

It wasn’t me, cause the ones who prevail are few

Typical for a young male to do

And now i’m tryna ring a bell with who? (who?)

125 125 niggas with a scale to move

Their means for the currency but currently lost

Just another black man tryna be his own boss so…

Go head and do

Do it

Its you

Do what you do

As long as its you

As long as its you…

Do what you do

I’m tryna to kick divine knowledge with a slave tongue

In the fields tryna harvest liberation

Reside in the streets these niggas was raised from

Hoping the dialect could reach down and save one

But i doubt it, cause they comfy in crowds:

The type of niggas checking for the names while we checking for the styles

Born to be tamed, while we made to run wild

Quick to shuck and jive while we rarely crack a smile

Without reason, see for the ears we be thievin

A little more important than some hype for the evening

See i don’t really need em in the front row screaming

As long as ya’ll hip to the reason

This hip-hop took me from a boy to a man

So i always had a plan

And when it comes to the music i take a stand

See we students of the sound

Ain’t even concerned with a crown

We do what we do…

So i’m telling you…

Go head and do

Do it

Its you

…and it be the times

When everything is pressing me, i’m thankful i rhyme

Dress thoughts with words that some others would find

Appealing to the ear and beautiful to the mind

See this path i’m trekking ain’t a usual climb

A lot of niggas want it but ain’t used to grind

A lot of cats flaunt it but i’m prudent with mine

Won’t hesitate to tell you we ain’t two of a kind

Cause i’m on a search for what i’m worth

Deciphering my meaning through a verse

Speaking it keep me from going beserk

Fam be on my back like «you need to get a job»

But writing to these tracks i feel like i’m doing work

So i gotta make it work keep the same mindstate from the first

Thing i ever wrote gotta give back to the earth

Reflection of the eternal giving birth

Never hold up, even when the struggle make me slow up

You know what…
