Giant
Banks & Steelz Lyrics

Banks & Steelz in the building
The artist Banks & Steelz are present at the location.

Flash the camera
Take a quick photo.

I'ma drop the hammer
I'm going to show my talent and prove myself.

Things done changed in hip-hop
There have been significant changes in hip-hop music recently.

Since they let Bobby out the slammer
Since Bobby was released from prison.

Hip-hop started on the East coast
Hip-hop music originated on the East coast of the United States.

Then it moved West, now down to 'Bama
It then spread to the West coast and now it's popular in Alabama.

I'ma bring it back to New York
I'm going to bring hip-hop music back to its roots in New York.

Roll those blunts and throw your hands up
Smoke marijuana and celebrate in excitement.

Pass me the cup full of Goose
Give me the cup full of Grey Goose vodka.

In the club with the juice
Drinking alcohol in the club with a refreshing drink.

In the pub getting bent out
Drinking heavily in a bar.

Then I'ma slide with a dime to my right
I'm going to leave with an attractive woman by my side.

And head up to my penthouse
Go to my luxurious penthouse apartment.

Oh, I'm not tryna take it slow
I don't want to waste time or delay things.

Working hard, caking dough
Working hard to earn a lot of money.

Open the 24, we striving for that gold
Working all hours and trying to become successful.

I'll stop for nothing
I won't let anything stop me.

I will play this game
I will participate in this competition.

That's so easily started
It's easy to get involved in this game.

Not so easily parted, aw
It's difficult to leave once you start playing it.

Giant
Being powerful and successful.

Everything is shaking through the walls
There is a lot of energy and power around us.

'Cause we are
Because we are successful giants.

With the heart of David, you know it takes just one
Having the bravery and courage of David from the story of David and Goliath.

It's the
Referring to something important or significant.

Fuck CNN, this is ghetto editorial
Disregard what is being portrayed by mainstream media and listen to authentic street music.

See me like milk and Oreos
Something that goes well together, like milk and cookies, but with a modern twist.

Dipped inside the audio
Analogizing the music to milk, being smooth and enjoyable to the senses.

Platinum plaques in my portfolio
Having achieved multiple platinum awards for their music in their career.

My lines are fine as wine
The lyrics are stylish, eloquent and pleasing to the ear.

They blow your mind like coco
The lyrics are impressive and stimulate your mind.

You could do what you wanna do
You have the freedom to do what you want in life.

Whether group or solo
Whether you are in a group or an individual artist.

Boston cold with a bowl of chili
It's cold in Boston so it's good to have something warm to eat, like chili.

Summer cheese steak on the road in Philly
Having a delicious cheesesteak sandwich during summer time in Philadelphia.

I'ma patriot, don't deal with hatred
I love my country and don't tolerate hateful behavior.

You make that beef
If you have a problem with me, then it's your issue.

I'll smack you silly
I will physically retaliate if you continue to disrespect me.

Back on up on this
Take a step back and give me some space.

Before you fuck with this
Before you try to pick a fight with me or challenge me.

You better wall jumping off the building
You better retreat quickly and avoid confrontation.

I'm cuttin' wrists
I'm taking risks and living on the edge.

Oh, gotta heat up the show
I need to increase the energy and excitement of the performance.

Raise the thermometer
Make the atmosphere even hotter and energetic.

I'm gonna take full control
I will take charge of the situation and lead with confidence.

Hey, Paul, let 'em know
Referring to the producer, Paul, to let the audience know what's happening.

Novus ordo seclorum
Latin phrase meaning 'New order of the ages.'

E pluribus unum
Latin phrase meaning 'Out of many, one.'

They changing climates
Changes occurring in the environment due to human actions.

And replacing humans
Technology is replacing human jobs.

And fracking soils
The damaging effect of hydraulic fracturing on the earth's soil.

While bulldozing forests
Forests are being destroyed for industrial and urban purposes.

But they can't defeat us
Despite all these challenges, humans will not be defeated.

They cannot destroy us
Humans are strong and resilient.

(Are we dreaming the same dream?)
Questioning if we have the same goals and aspirations as a society.

(Of money, guns, and gasoline?)
Questioning if our society is solely focused on wealth, violence and resources.

And nicotine for the average teen
Young people are becoming addicted to tobacco products.

CFOs are after cream
Business executives are focused on maximizing profits.

GMOs extracting genes
Genetically modified organisms are manipulating genetic material.

With everyone on my TV
The media bombarding us with constant information and distractions.

Get some
Encouragement to get excited and take action.
