Going to clubs drowned in the liquor that's surrounding they brains
Want to be thugs on every record got them sounding the same (hell yea)

But I'm saying the way you got my shit pronounced, it's a shame

Never beat you in the head
Cause all that preaching to the choir, yo it's dead, word (umm uhh uhh)

I come from a place where cats lust papes (Kweli) [umm uhh]
Love hate, be in the clubs late [yea]
All our beliefs crush grape (come on)
Steady rhymes takes bust ish straight
Upstate we puff grate and stay with the sticky like duct tape
Always pushing my self and steady knowing the ledge
