Verse 1:
Hands to the sky
The Lord is lifted high
Life is good to those who knows to handle her
Camera on panoramic, work gears like mechanic
Go around my own orbit like a planet
So I don't crush you
There's no need for me to pan it
No need for left and right, I go both ears
I'm an introvert I don't get pressured by my peers
Conscious of my choices, my conscience is clear
I'm out and gettin' it
I'm about to use all of my benefits
My storage up north is about to drop here on our midst
Fame don't catch of what my interest is
I speak to those who listen, I listen to those who speak to me
They kiddin' me, they say that my own kind is an enemy
An eye for an eye just leaves everybody blind
What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?
See to it you don't lose control
Chorus:
They try to chase the world
We'll bring it to our block
Every hustle and bustle won't stop us til' we drop
We'll make the most of what we have
We'll make the best of what we have
Ooh, yeah
They try to chase the world
We'll bring it to our block
Every hustle and bustle won't stop us til' we drop
Somehow we will find a way
Or we will make one
Make one, uh, oh
Verse 2:
Off to shore
I'm bout to google the reef
Still in search of local underground beats
With the touch of The Alchemist, DJ Premier
Twiz the Beat Pro beats like these
I'm not the artist i'm the canvas
An art in a frame is much more like an eagle locked up in a cage
Ink blot in a page, mops still drippin' their names
Choose to live for the things that remains
There's no such thing as luck, there are chances
No coincidence, there's purpose why you writing plain or cursive
Why on earth you are here in this city you're in
Your color, your culture, your movement, your scene
Hip Hop started out in the heart
They are the roots, we are the branches
These kids are the fruits and they are watching
West got Pac, East got Biggie, Manila got FM
Let's build our own city, so I say
Repeat chorus (2x)
