lyrics

Hook:
Word to what they showed us, Word to a duffle bag,
Word to how you know us Word to the love for that
Verse 1:
Word to defying the odds,
and colliding with dollar signs or with colliding with God,
for the crowd gathering ‘round to see how this evolves
and being able to say “donʼt nobody got it like yʼall!”
got it now and got it forever if timing is yʼalls,
may it lock like straight drop off how you can bond,
the bond thicker than what they sit up on top of the charge they toss if you come across with a rock of the bomb,
we talking thicker than that, we talking divvying that accordingly until the corner be where they christen you at,
we talking knowing this thing of yʼalls got a vision attached, sitting in an unmarked car taking pics in the back,
vision gets expensive but ainʼt shit that a trip to the stash couldnʼt cover so if you should love what they pictured you as, let it run til it becomes what you zip in the bag,
this could reach 100 a week if thereʼs gift in your gab,
talk cheap, unless the talk be, centered on knowing all these bilingual remarks be, flipping into new car keys,
keys open doors in Virginia and thatʼs in arms reach,
you bring that back to the roof top in a heart beat,
Dougie Fresh performances, confetti through all of it,
easier to throw it and regrow it when the morning hit,
legends never die they just rest long,
Dapper Dan vest on, luggage never stepped on
Hook:
Word to what they showed us, Word to a duffle bag,
Word to how you know us Word to the love for that Word to it
Verse 2:
And then the balance get all in the way,
and you relying on your talents is all that remains,
this shit is nothing you wouldʼve pictured would walk into frame,
you was just given what you was given and taught to relate,
so you related like no one ever had done before,
such allure, being 24 and could cover Forbes, gun and all,
and the same vision attached is still sitting in the back,
but now joined by the buildings thatʼs wrapped
‘round the pictures that you would flick like “where the memories at” and it was love, it was love the way the city react,
the shit that legends are made of, and mothers be afraid of,
it all get assembled in time for your first bake up,
all of it resembles just how they wanted to shape us,
call it what you choose just know itʼs catered to you
and me and him and her all of us off the stoop,
and innocence disappears and all of it hit the news
and Henny spill on the stairs in thought of what you would do,
and the ones who wasnʼt there get taught to think shit is smooth, they put us in front of it, like “do what you want with it”,
made inspiration from weighing like “how you loving it”?,
tue indeed, do believe it was written
before you made a decision to orchestrate in the kitchen,
legends never die they just rest long,
Dapper Dan vest on, luggage never stepped on
