[Intro: Lil B & Jabee]
Statik Selektah
It's Lil B
Statik Selektah, I see you
Shout out OKC
It's Lil B
I know that Based God is not fair
What I'm doing (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1: Jabee]
Yeah, young, dumb, and dangerous
On my dead homies, call it angel spit
I'm trying to fight the power like I'm Chuck D
I put that on my mama, you can trust me
A full course meal is just bread and wine
Break bread with my homies, how God design
You can't shake hands with a clenched fist
Family's like a million bucks when you homeless
I ain't trying to die 'til I really live
Some people had to die so I could really live
You say you real so you feel this?
You only real to who you real with
Fake niggas always bragging 'bout they realness
Saying grace with the devil on they plate, yeah
Probably kissing Judas in the face
Some homies lift you up, some try to keep you in your place

[Chorus: Lil B]
I'm staying focused on the background
I gotta look behind my back, I'm moving back now
I gotta go back in town
Niggas say I'm moving forward, but I'm back down (Right)
Pain of life is the pains of life
I'm moving forward, I'm just moving right
Said "Fuck it", I ain't gon' go left
I'm moving straight, checkmate

[Verse 2: Slug]
I'm trying to stay as positive as possible
Sometimes you feel like you're running out of options, though
I made a promise to that bitch in the mirror
Now I illustrate my picture just a little bit clearer
As a kid, I didn't have it
But if you offer me the opportunity to grab it, I wanted it
Not so I can flaunt it, just so I can hide it in my basement
And take it out occasionally, appreciate it
As a grown-ass man, now I know that's a scam
Look at all these records, I could have collected land
Trying to give my family a handful of sand
But we were busy making memories instead of plans
And it kinda seems as if we built a lot from a little
Put all of those ingredients on top of the griddle
Let me simmer down and focus on the sound
Of the city bus pushing through the snow that's on the ground

[Chorus: Lil B]
I'm staying focused on the background
I gotta look behind my back, I'm moving back now
I gotta go back in town
Niggas say I'm moving forward, but I'm back down (Right)
Pain of life is the pains of life
I'm moving forward, I'm just moving right
Said "Fuck it", I ain't gon' go left
I'm moving straight, checkmate

[Outro: Lil B]
Said "Fuck it", I ain't gon' go left
I'm moving straight
Auto pilot when I move in check
Checkmate, we ain't playing chess
It's Lil B
