If I ain't on the route I'm in the one stop shop (yeah)
Everywhere I go they ask me 'Geezy where ya been?'
You ain't been looking hard enough I tell em look again (look again)
I hit the sit back, clock plan strategize

I can't lie, I had started to feel the recession
I signed my deal but I really wasn't feeling progression
But I'm a go getta, by all means I'm a get it
