Once
Shootyz Groove Lyrics

Can't run too much work to be done
We're busy and can't afford to slow down.

Don't lie, something that you can't deny
Be honest with yourself about your feelings and experiences.

Feel blue, yeah us too once in a while
We all have our down moments, but we know how to recover.

But we know, we know, we know know the style
We have a way of doing things that works for us and sets us apart.

I'm up against the wall drinking mad alcohol
I'm feeling stuck and trying to cope with alcohol.

Got myself a headache now I need some Tylenol
I'm suffering the consequences of my choices and need relief.

Time alone would be dandy in beaches that are sandy
I wish I could escape my problems and find peace on a beach.

Walking by the sea with the sun feeling free
I want to experience the freedom and relaxation of the ocean.

Got my pocket on-e with no worries
I have enough money and no significant problems at the moment.

Someone's trying to blast me so I do my concentration
I'm aware of the dangers around me and need to stay focused.

With one arm dumbbells 'cause in New York
I'm using exercise to stay healthy and strong, despite the challenges of my environment.

Streets tend to raise hell I do my sit ups dips and pull ups
I face difficult obstacles, but I won't let them stop me from bettering myself.

I even take a jog and stay fit
I prioritize taking care of myself physically to stay healthy and cope with stress.

just in case brothers push up to see
I'm aware of the dangers in my environment and need to stay prepared for any threats.

I do my leaving ganja stenches on park benches
I may enjoy smoking cannabis and relaxing in parks.

Get the wrenches open up the hydrant its hot now
We're resourceful and find ways to cool off and enjoy life during hot weather.

The flow be all over your block in a puddle you can check
Our music and style are everywhere and well-known in our community.

My crew in a huddle if there's trouble I don't engage
My friends and I support each other through tough situations, but we avoid violence.

In physical rage I never thought the devil was a Caucasian
I don't believe in racial stereotypes and refuse to be swayed by anger or hate.

It's amazing how our minds just sink if that's the way you think
Our minds can be incredibly affected by how we choose to view and think about the world.

Then your just an ignorant newborn infant don't understand
If you can't see beyond harmful stereotypes and views, you are naive and ignorant.

Bigotry man color blind my man kind of nature
Discrimination and prejudice are counter to our basic human nature and values.

Read the instructions you still wont know my function
You can't fully understand someone's value or function just from information or instructions.

Your style is second-hand used bought at auction
Your style lacks originality and is based on imitating others.

It's going once it's going twice you could think your nice
Your style may be popular or seem impressive, but it's still not unique.

But I know you bought that style for a price a fare a fee
You didn't develop your style on your own and had to pay or follow others to have it.

A but one get one free what do you think this is a MC
You think you can buy one style and get another for free, like it's some kind of market?

Shopping spree like that we don't get down to see
We don't believe in commercializing our style or selling it out for profit.

Clear is the vision the type of brothers you don't see
We have a unique vision and perspective that sets us apart from others.

On television we bring it to you live with a bigger buzz
We're able to share our message and style with a wider audience thanks to media.

Than a beehive hi five if you purchased L.I.V.E.
Our music and message has a big impact on our fans and community.

We still alive regardless of the bullshit struggle and strive
Despite setbacks and challenges, we continue to survive and thrive.

For that consciousness
We promote awareness and understanding of social issues and personal growth.

Causing tension in my kingdom boy I'll
You're creating problems in my community and I won't allow it.

teach you never blast you
I won't use violence to solve problems or teach others to do so.

Looking for the greener not the money but the pasture
I'm seeking a better life and environment, not just money.

Royalty with knots, what they bringing to my flocks
Those in positions of power and wealth don't always help or care for their less fortunate peers.

Nothing! So lay people give their loyalty to blocks and glocks
People align themselves with gangs and weapons when they feel they have no other options or support.

Hard rocks don't step to me I'm lava I'll melt you, you know
I'm a force to be reckoned with and won't back down from confrontation.

You're no longer at the helm mere words do not express
You no longer have power or control, and words won't change that.

What exists in higher realms some will personify,
Some people may attribute power or meaning to what they perceive to be higher or spiritual.

Others do or die
Some people live without question or doubt, while others challenge everything and fight for change.

Champions simply do like forever coming through
True winners and leaders keep pushing and persevering, like an unstoppable force.

If everything's for nothing well then nothing is for you
If you don't appreciate or value what you have, you lose everything.

But everything is cool everybody got a school
Despite our differences, everyone has something to learn and teach from each other.

They subscribe to
People follow different ideologies or beliefs.

I ain't trying to bribe you or jive you
I'm not trying to convince or deceive you for my own benefit.

God gave me this energy I'm sorry if it vibes you
I have a unique energy and drive, and I won't apologize for it affecting others differently.

Right or wrong my energy is strong
Regardless of whether my path or choices are good or bad, I am dedicated and resolute.

It flows it goes bust in times of mega lust
My energy and creativity can be affected positively or negatively depending on my focus or desire.

Still grows from the dust left resurrect
Despite setbacks or failures, I am able to recover and continue to grow stronger.

We're putting in mad work but there's mad work left
We've accomplished a lot, but there's still much more to do.

Now we move it on the yes for the tame and the wild
We're inclusive and work to reach and inspire everyone, regardless of differences or backgrounds.

We see and feel plus breathe live the style
Our style and philosophy is a major part of our identity and way of life.

My style your style the style similar
Despite differences, our styles are still comparable or connected in some way.

To the sweetness of a virgin when you enter her
Our style is as pure, raw and powerful as the ecstasy of a new lover's experience.

But this dog eat dog world wasn't meant for her
The harsh realities of society and competition may not be ideal or fair for anyone.

Or me or even you now the brothers of the groove
We also face our own challenges and struggles.

Are singing songs of freedom but we sing blues too
Our music and message may be positive and empowering, but we also address and express the pain and hardship we face.

Damn! I didn't know that I could feel so damn low
Expressing shock or surprise at feeling sad or depressed.

I didn't think that I could take much more
Feeling overwhelmed or at a breaking point.

But now I realize that I can feel so damn high
Recognizing that you can experience great joy or pride despite previous struggles.

I guess I never looked inside
Realizing that the ability to overcome challenges and find happiness comes from within yourself.
