Glaciers II

Ace
We the original...
They are synthetic, rather artificial
Cool til somebody try to test'em, it's a issue
Why you even listening to that dude
Compared to my team they are miniature in stature
Goes for a commercial rapper or backpacker
Tryna see the whole world, outside of the atlas
You can stay stuck here or remove the cactus
Veterans, game time be feeling like practice
Get us in the booth, sit and wait for a classic
Just a little bit of rap to avoid the distractions
You can playback every song on the tracklist
Understand that there are some things that you may not get
Thats a common characteristic of lyricists
I be on my day job, screaming this some bullsh*t
Still be on my job cuz my name is on the mortgage

Joe D
Tryna get my hands on some grants like Horace
All about the benjamins, pockets not BIG nor Puffy
After Uncle Sam roughed me, take that
Bout to go ape sh*t, nah n*gga ain't rich
Still push the Lex with the tape deck, ain't that
Cold like Anchorage, north of the equator
Im tryna get this paper, inhale the vapor
See through, breathe through the mask like Vader
I'm raw from hello to the farewell
Writin' like Martin Luther King in a jail cell
Ridin' down Martin Luther King on the A4
Finna hop the train bout to gain what I prayed for
The lord said "Go"...what would I stay for?
I'm looking at the front door for the Main Source
Now I lose less,, and gain more
Like a pimp get the money f*ck the fame whore...

Powerful
I ain't even gotta say much just listen to the beat bang
The gods go hard word to Aison from Wu Tang
Flowing on the A train since I was in the 5th grade
Sold candy bars just to get change
You know where I'm from, listen to the street slang
BK all day Brooklyn black king
Been thru so much, I'm immune to the pain
My team don't bluff, and we don't play games
Say they so tough, sweet like candy canes
Nothing is new to us, they all sound the same
Wish it wasn't true but it is
They followin' the yellow bricks like The Wiz
Trash rap hurting my ears
My redeem team bringing that culture back
City been on for so long, putting yours on the map
This for DC, MD, VA cats...
For the whole world if it's real where you at

Truth
We the authentic, never mind those other dudes
Old-fashioned lyrics wit them futuristic attitudes
Real ninja all black Shinobi sh*t, you know I'm wit
Powerful and Ace til they blow this b*tch, Gods'Illa
Name hold weight like a muscle or your baby moms
Reflection of our culture which is Islam, Peace!
Mistake us for a game think Jumanji
Blow like we distant relatives of the Marleys
I'm a Black Star, Mos Def like Kweli
And I rep Up And Up, everywhere that I be
You can't have nothing nowadays nah mean?
I'm sure you've seen Inception devils tryna steal your dreams
Style symbolizes shell toes without laces
All black hood so we all self racists
Everyday struggle man we dying just to live here
And I bet they probably make it worse wit that healthcare
