Giant
Banks Steelz Lyrics

Banks & Steelz in the building
Banks & Steelz, the rap duo, are present in the building

Flash the camera
Take a quick photo or video for publicity

I'ma drop the hammer
I'm going to bring my best and leave my mark

Things done changed in hip-hop
Hip-hop has undergone a lot of changes

Since they let Bobby out the slammer
The rap scene has changed significantly since Bobby (possibly a reference to Bobby Shmurda) was released from prison

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

Then it moved West, now down to 'Bama
The hip-hop culture spread to the West coast and then to Alabama

I'ma bring it back to New York
I'm going to bring the hip-hop scene back to New York

Roll those blunts and throw your hands up
Smoke weed and raise your hands in excitement

Pass me the cup full of Goose
Give me a cup filled with Grey Goose vodka

In the club with the juice
I'm partying with my drink in the club

In the pub getting bent out
Getting drunk in a pub

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

And head up to my penthouse
I'm going to go to my luxurious penthouse

Oh, I'm not tryna take it slow
I'm not interested in taking things slowly

Working hard, caking dough
I'm working hard and making money

Open the 24, we striving for that gold
We are working hard, keeping the store open 24 hours a day, to achieve our financial goals

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

I will play this game
I will participate and succeed in this industry (music)

That's so easily started
This is an easy industry to enter

Not so easily parted, aw
But it's not easy to leave or fail, despite the challenges

Giant
We are powerful and successful

Everything is shaking through the walls
Our success is causing a sensation and is felt throughout

'Cause we are
Because we embody the success and power of giants

With the heart of David, you know it takes just one
We have the courage and strength of David, the biblical character who defeated Goliath, and only one person is needed to achieve success

Fuck CNN, this is ghetto editorial
We don't care about mainstream media, we're producing authentic and unapologetically urban content

See me like milk and Oreos
We go well together, just like milk and Oreos

Dipped inside the audio
Our music quality is superior and enhances your listening experience

Platinum plaques in my portfolio
I have achieved platinum record sales and have it as a part of my accomplishments

My lines are fine as wine
My lyrics are sophisticated and rich, like fine wine

They blow your mind like coco
My lyrics are capable of taking you to another level of thought, like cocaine

You could do what you wanna do
You're free to do whatever you want

Whether group or solo
Whether you're part of a group or going solo

Boston cold with a bowl of chili
It's cold in Boston, but I'm staying warm with a hot bowl of chili

Summer cheese steak on the road in Philly
Enjoying a cheese steak sandwich during the summer while on the road in Philadelphia

I'ma patriot, don't deal with hatred
I'm a proud American who doesn't tolerate hate

You make that beef
If you want to start trouble with me

I'll smack you silly
I'll teach you a lesson and make you look foolish

Back on up on this
Get away from me

Before you fuck with this
Before you try to mess with me or my work

You better wall jumping off the building
You better change your mind quickly and leave, or else it'll be too late

I'm cuttin' wrists
I'm taking big risks and going hard

Oh, gotta heat up the show
I need to step up my performance and deliver a better show

Raise the thermometer
Increase the heat and intensity of the performance

I'm gonna take full control
I am going to be the one in charge and lead the way

Hey, Paul, let 'em know
Hey, Paul (possibly a reference to collaborator Paul Banks), spread the word and inform everyone

Novus ordo seclorum
Latin for 'A new order of the ages,' a phrase on the back of the U.S. $1 bill and commonly associated with the Illuminati or New World Order conspiracy theories

E pluribus unum
Latin for 'Out of many, one,' the official motto of the United States

They changing climates
People in power are changing or destroying the environment

And replacing humans
They are making humans less important or valuable

And fracking soils
They are destroying the soil structure and quality through hydraulic fracturing

While bulldozing forests
They are also unnecessarily destroying forests

But they can't defeat us
We are strong and won't let them win

They cannot destroy us
We won't let them destroy us

(Are we dreaming the same dream?)
Are we united in our desire for change?

(Of money, guns, and gasoline?)
Are our goals centered on wealth, weaponry, and fuel?

And nicotine for the average teen
The tobacco industry is exploiting and addicting young people

CFOs are after cream
Corporate executives are greedy and are only after profits

GMOs extracting genes
Genetically modified organisms are manipulating and altering genes

With everyone on my TV
All these issues are constantly covered by the media, but not enough is being done to address them

Get some
Go and take action to change the world for the better
