20syl Lyrics
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
(Whoa-oh)
I'm climbing up the
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
I'm climbing up the ladder
While you're in need of a shovel
(Whoa-oh)
I could do this all day
I could do this all night
I could do this all day, I could do this all night
All month, all year, for my whole entire life
Who you know got a home, but seem to live on the road
Lookin' like a black gypsy, in the Caravan, arose
Music for the people, I used to rap on the train
Now I rap on a stage and I'm used to capital gain
I ain't asking for change, I'm good at coining a phrase
What I want is more than ever and never to fade away
Is that too much to ask? Good, cause I ain't askin'
Already into action, I'll have your answer retracted
So stay up out my business, it's crowded enough with me
You added as just a witness I'd rather not even see
I'm good with the folks around me, get from 'round me
Before we commence to clowning, yeah
Keep it on the level, yeah, keep it on the level
I'm climbing up the ladder while you in need of a shovel
Skedaddle
I'm climbing out the
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
I'm climbing out the
I'm-I"m climbing out the (What)
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
I'm climbing up the ladder, while you in need of a shovel
Yo, skedaddle
Don't give it to me easy, I like a little challenge
Winning feels better when you take a little damage
Slow learning, fast earning, stay burning, wheels turning
It's a ongoing, ongoing, ongoing thing
I'm climbing out the
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
I'm climbing out the
I'm-I"m climbing out the (What)
Keep it on the level
Keep it on the level
I'm climbing up the ladder, while you in need of a shovel
Yo, skedaddle
Don't give it to me easy, I like a little challenge
Winning feels better when you take a little damage
Slow learning, fast earning, stay burning, wheels turning
It's a ongoing, ongoing, ongoing thing

En español:
Mantenlo en el nivel
Mantenlo en el nivel
Mantenlo en el nivel
(Whoa-oh)
Estoy escalando la
Mantenlo en el nivel
Mantenlo en el nivel
Estoy escalando la escalera
Mientras tú necesitas de una pala
(Whoa-oh)
Podría hacer esto todo el día, podría hacer esto toda la noche
Podría hacer esto todo el día, podría hacer esto toda la noche
Podría hacer esto todo el día, podría hacer esto toda la noche
Todo el mes, todo el año, para toda mi vida entera
Quién sabe que tiene un hogar, pero parece vivir en la carretera
Observó como un gitano negro, en la Caravana, surgió
Música para la gente, Yo la uso para rapear en el tren
Ahora rapeo en un escenario y me acostumbre a ganar
No estoy pidiendo el cambio, soy bueno en acuñar una frase
Qué quiero es más que siempre y núnca desaparecer
Es esto demasiado para preguntar? Bien, la cosa es que no preguntas
Ya en acción, tendré tu respuesta atrasada
Así que mantente fuera de mi negocio, está lo suficientemente lleno de gente conmigo
Te añadiste como un testigo que preferiría ni siquiera ver
Soy bueno con la gente que me rodea, sal de mi alrededor
Antes de comenzar a hacer payasadas, yeah
Mantente en el nivel, yeah, mantente encima del nivel
Estoy subiendo la escalera mientras tú necesitas una pala
Salir pitando
Estoy... estoy escalando la...
Mantenlo en el nivel
Mantenlo en el nivel
Estoy escalando la... estoy escalando la... (¿Qué?)
Mantenlo en el nivel
Mantenlo en el nivel
Estoy subiendo la escalera, mientras tu necesitas una pala
Yo, salir pitando
No me lo des fácil, me gusta un pequeño reto
Ganar se siente mejor cuando recibes un poco de daño
Aprendizaje lento, ganancias rápidas, permanecer ardiendo, ruedas girando
Es algo continuo, continuo
No me lo des fácil, me gusta un pequeño reto
Ganar se siente mejor cuando recibes un poco de daño
Aprendizaje lento, ganancias rápidas, permanecer ardiendo, ruedas girando
Es algo continuó, continuó, es continuó
Estoy escalando la
Estoy escalando la
Estoy escalando la
Estoy-estoy-estoy escalando la
Mantenlo en el nivel
Mantenlo en el nivel
Estoy escalando la... escalando la... escalando la
Mantenlo en el nivel
Mantenlo en el nivel
Estoy subiendo la escalera, mientras tu necesitas una pala
Podría hacer esto todo el día, podría hacer esto toda la noche
To - to - to - to - to - toda la noche
Podría hacer esto todo el día, podría hacer esto toda la noche
Toda-toda-toda la noche, haz esto- haz esto toda la noche
Podría hacer esto todo el día, podría hacer esto toda la noche
To - to - to - to - to - toda la noche
Podría hacer esto todo el día, podría hacer esto toda la noche
Toda-toda-toda la noche, haz esto- haz esto toda la noche
No me lo des fácil, me gusta un pequeño reto
Ganar se siente mejor cuando recibes un poco de daño
Aprendizaje lento, ganancias rápidas, permanecer ardiendo, ruedas girando
Es algo continuo, continuo
No me lo des fácil, me gusta un pequeño reto
Ganar se siente mejor cuando recibes un poco de daño
Aprendizaje lento, ganancias rápidas, permanecer ardiendo, ruedas girando
Es algo continuó, continuó, es continuó
