G-G-G-therz

We gon' make you move it (Huh)
We gon' make you lose it (Huh)
You gon' feel that bass that'll make ya go stupid (Uh)
'Till we kick the bucket (Uh)
We be goin' dumblit (Yuh)
Y'all know the saying
Two words... fuck it

If y'all know what the deal is
Then put ya hands up
If you up on some real shit
Then put ya hands up
You feelin' like a million
Then put ya hands up
We gon' tear up the buildin'
This is the anthem
If y'all know what the deal is
Then put ya hands up
If you up on some real shit
Then put ya hands up
You feelin' like a million
Then put ya hands up
We gon' tear up the buildin'
This is the anthem

Reppin' from the shore, nothing like city folk (Yerrr)
My style looking wild like Busta Rhymes videos (Huh)
You're dealing with a real life force of nature
'Cause lyrically I'm built like Schwarzenegger (Ya)
I formed the fiercest free flows, forever phenomenal (Huh)
Flipping off frauds and foes, expecting a flop or fold
I fortified from fazing, forging fire from flawless rhymes
Frankly just for fun of fast flaunting before ya eyes (Fuck yeah)
With a flow colder than a Russian winter
I'm a fucking spitter nastier than the Hudson River (Burr)
Making jazz trap, they looked at me like I sound crazy (Fuck)
Bitch I'm Monmouth County made like Count Basie (Yeah)
The baddest at it in the upper apparatus
You just have to blast this, flex on 'em like it's acrobatics (Yeah)
I'm taking more shots than when 2Pac dissed
Ballin' with the jazz, but this ain't Utah, bitch

If y'all know what the deal is
Then put ya hands up
If you up on some real shit
Then put ya hands up
You feelin' like a million
Then put ya hands up
We gon' tear up the buildin'
This is the anthem
If y'all know what the deal is
Then put ya hands up
If you up on some real shit
Then put ya hands up
You feelin' like a million
Then put ya hands up
We gon' tear up the buildin'
This is the anthem

Yes, yes, y'all, I ain't been playing around
I've been kicking it like Rick James on ya couch
Taking over the rap game like Imma stage a coup
So poetic like Langston Hughes on these 808s and blues (Wooh)
And by now, ya guys should know the motto (Yeah)
I'm defying order, I'm a rebel like Ahsoka Tano
Got the track bumping more than driving over potholes
Time to kick it up a notch like there's no tomorrow (Tell 'em)
Ya fucking couldn't spit with the best, you ain't this sick in the head
Not even close to a superstar, but like Bruno Mars, I'm drippin' finesse
Outrunning these rappers track for track that now I got ya twisting ya necks
I'm that Filipino that be killing these flows and instrumentals and rip 'em to shreds (Ooh)
Got a tribe of musicians that got the jazz (Yeah)
Don't ya know this dude spittin' the hottest raps? (Uh huh)
I make punchlines hit like when the belt whip it
Never keep it basic, unlike these 'Del bitches

If y'all know what the deal is
Then put ya hands up
If you up on some real shit
Then put ya hands up
You feelin' like a million
Then put ya hands up
We gon' tear up the buildin'
