Da Formula

You know this shit takes years, right?
Learn the craft, sharpen your sword
Step your game up

[Chorus]
I learned the formula
From nay high, the effort I put in from day to night, just know it
Takes time to put in the craft, give it your full effort
I went from being a student to the professor

[Scratches]
I ain't trippin'
Not slippin'
I ain't trippin'
Unbreakable

[Verse 1]
The formula from the chemist that rock on the interface
And got notebooks, pen it to plot down the mission, as I
Learn the tool and the tricks, the hours, I got no sleep
The power that I hold, keep me prouder for my soul to keep
Of dreaming of being a top 25 emcee
I rocked many nights for pennies, got no cold feet
I fix up my nervous and my circulatory system
So when I perform, I got it on lock and I’m not SLIPPIN'
I learned the rhyme schemes of the greatest like Sean P
Made it my own, stay in my home, praying my songs reach
The whole globe, the young ones, the old ones, connect
From the chosen one, the golden one, that grows more respect
As the years go by, the fears go die
The tears go slide, the beers go glide, the cheers grow inside
Share those highs and lows like most cannot fathom
Suppose I drop bangers, my flows around the planet, I’m FRO

[Chorus]
I learned the formula
From nay high, the effort I put in from day to night, just know it
Takes time to put in the craft, give it your full effort
I went from being a student to the professor

[Scratches]
I ain't trippin'
Not slippin'
Unbreakable

[Verse 2]
They said that I got it what it takes to shape the next generation
So I run in place and go give a new angle for my innovation
A new jingle to show 'em I marinated development
Learned the song format, a verse, hook, a bridge, scratches
And gel with it, like slicking my hair back with grease
To hell with it, while I go to move up on the stage like I be Heavy D
I rock different, I’m God’s gift with a calm tension, the job description
Jot lyrics til the palm 'hit em, my brother, I am (not slippin')
They wanna poke and prod like I don’t know
How to make my own product
Put my heart in it, stir it up 'til you feel the FRO’s hardship
Mixed with the goodness, how could I put it?, It takes time
None of it’s overnight, it’s like a 9-5, a great grind
Keep those close that wanna be up on the team
Like-minded folk can make it happen with similar dreams
And when you finally make it, it’s like euphoria
I’m growing larger in my performance
My objective is to seek and destroy ya
My brother, bet, that -

[Chorus]
I learned the formula
From nay high, the effort I put in from day to night, just know it
Takes time to put in the craft, give it your full effort
I went from being a student to the professor

[Scratches]
Not slippin'
I ain't trippin'
Unbreakable
I ain't trippin'
