Steven Malcolm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayo Jesus turn my swag all the way up on this on aight?
I can't sleep so I'm in the studio
Grinding till I'm dead at the funeral
Eyes on the prize like some pupils
Me in a box, I don't fit up in ya cubicle
Smooth with the flow like the finger roll
Livin' a great commission call it give n' go
I'm the mail man, pick and roll
Me and my squad, you know what we livin' fo
This here what I like to call my intermission
A beast with the pen full of ambition
Call me a rapper I'm just a man fishin'
Know I bring the heat, like the fanison
West coast, shout out Propaganda
I'm a humble beast but I'm trapped so I open a can of
Hold up, wait a minute
Let's get it
What's that beat drop, boy I turn up
Spittin', rippin', you can get it word up
Sick with it, rollin' like a mission lamb
Flow like oh my Lord lets get it, boy
This my intermission
Intermission
Flow like oh my Lord lets get it boy this my intermission
Yeah, representing my abafather
The power to move forward with the Son I'm aristandard
I'm cold but that flow gettin' hotter
Hands on a bob up and down, teeter totter
See Christ be my core so I sit up
The King of the game got the whole board lit up
Hold up
Voice on hoarse so I get up
Boy I got the juice I guess that makes me a bishop
The whole world sleeping they Bugatti shoppin'
Me I troll and deuce, OG body Johnson
He the bad man might not be the Robin
So it's safe to say we drop bombs like Bin Laden
616 birthplace, somebody give this beat a first aid
Yeah, homie my whole crew bang
See sin kill sin conquerin' over Satan, GO!
Everybody givinin' it all, in it all the the most high no like
Flow God amped up no charge!
If it's one thing certain, now I go hard
Diving in that living water you can say I'm sonar
Get it? Sonar, huh, I shred that
Over the here with that, DJ bring it back
Matter fact? Wait a minute
Let's get it
What's that beat drop, boy I turn up
Spittin', rippin', you can get it word up
Sick with it, rollin' like a mission lamb, flow like oh my Lord lets get it boy this my intermission




Intermission
Flow like oh my Lord lets get it, boy this my intermission
