Rise to the top is quick but uh Come on. (Bring the homs in)
Can't stay up for ever, that's some law.

My style is robo, getting you lifted without the dodo
I'm going global, never been local but on the lo-though Get your pogo,

Lessons inside my dojo. It's the back-flip, tactics drastic practicing hat tricks,
Connecting kinetic intelligent shit (the haps is) Studying steal displace the plastic,
Gymnastics. Perfecting the balance and that's it. Stay patient waiting till this plan hits.
Seeking this meaning. Speaking more then some holding grams kid. I brandish, fumish this

Swerving in and out of the torrent nice as surgeons. Precise. I'm urging, never

Bridge (Fergie Sings)
What goes up, must come down (repeat x4)

Well, I'm that smooth lewd dude still in the groove. Willing to move many people like a Minister do.
Administering truth. Delivering you in a quivering mood, for payment like a bill when it's due.
Chilling with crew (True). I'm that B-Boy hot when I deplay. Cleverest seed boy, growing like a
Tree till my peeps seem to breath belief under the leaves. Thunderous steeze. Never with a gun in
My sleeves Done in a breeze till the sun comes up in the eat. Puffing the yeast till I'm done up like
A Buck in Belize Stuck in my jeans, ccheming for a puff of the weed. I do it infinite. Finite rhyme
Type is intricate. Killing it. Pilgrim journey, syllabus deligent. Willing it. Conceal the chillum till
Skills reveal in it. I implement the realeast shit. Yall imminently feeling it. (like)
