Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

United we stand!

United we stand!
Get some
If you want some
Come and get some

Welcome to the middle of the jump off
It's your truly, the Guru, shout to me man
BT on the track, straight like that
Comin' at you from the middle of the jump off
Check this out

If you want some

I'm ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go, ready to go
Let my energy flow
Let my energy flow
Ready to go, let my energy flow
Steadily bro, scarin' off the enemy, yo
Progression, while I'm releasin' aggression
In this rap profession, I keep other cats guessin'
International player, pure poet
More devoted, but more soul than y'all know it
Voted as a spokesman for people with dreams, feedin' my team
Out in front 'n leadin' the scene

Knowledge of self

Don't they see the world's tired-a them?
They lyin' again, got the music dyin' again, na
Don't they see the world's tired-a them?
They lyin' again, got the music dyin' again, na
Don't they see the world's tired-a them?
They lyin' again, got the music dyin' again, na

I can't let it go down, we can throw down
I'll meet you on the block and we can have a show down

If you want some

So here we are in these last days
It's grimy and nasty
Refined is my mind, I'm keepin' some of my pathways
Jerks always want to take kindess for weakness
Revealin' secrets
Knowin' I be dealin' deep shit, it's all good
I'm growin' stronger daily
I'm father to babies, I bomb you crazy
Got more knowledge, than you can get from the internet
I spit wisdom that I get from introspect

Don't they see the world's tired-a them?
They lyin' again, got the music dyin' again, na
Don't they see the world's tired-a them?
They lyin' again, got the music dyin' again, na
Don't they see the world's tired-a them?
They lyin' again, got the music dyin' again, na

I can't let it go down, we can throw down
I'll meet you on the block and we can have a show down





If you want some, come and get some
