Earning Stripes

Intro (Smokie Hall Duke Johnson)
Alright Chazzy, Jazzy Chazzy they say
I heard you got the chops to rock the mic right
Well let’s see if you down by law baby
Let’s see if you can cook up a hot plate
Show me what you working wit, you ready?

[Verse 1]
I talk jewels and spit diamonds
Control the game like Simon
When I’m rhyming with remarkable timing
Sucka Mc’s have a seat like you’re gonna dine in
Sit back relax, the show’s bout to start
Now y’all don’t know me let me break it down to y’all
I’m, not orthodox you might as well just call me southpaw
No lying that’s true y’all
My artistry is a big draw
Yes yes y’all
You know I got more bars than a pub crawl
I serve the rock so I gotta walk tall
The only fame I chase comes after of and hall now check it
Like Nike and no I can’t sing yo
Chill yet and still I always hit a c note
I’m trynna earn my stripes like Jesus that’s a fact
Cuz Jesus earned his stripes 39 to be exact
So let the beat play all the way until the verse break
Call me Stephen A, I do it all on the first take

Bridge (Smokie Hall Duke Johnson)
Okay youngin, I’m picking up what ya putting down
I feel ya swinging and singing
You got the chops to rock the mic right
Well iight daddy-o I feel ya jumping and thumping (I’m digging it)
But I think you can put it down a little harder than that, what you think?

[Verse 2]
Ditto, the kiddo is a performer and recorder
Young cat wit a little game like pop Warner
I don’t ever warn ya, I just flip it on ya
Like the new jack that be jammin on the corner
They want me to adjust and switch up the rhyme
Trust me it’s no pressure like a weak D Line
I’ll be fine
Like a late hit
Pull out your phone and tape this take this
Only the real God could ever make this
Where’s the Martinelli
I need six when I touchdown
On ten like a first down
Heating up y’all in trouble now (haha)
Flow the meanest
For the record like rap genius
Don’t play all the way up like Cool & Dre
This issss, the hot plate that moves the crowd and the needle
I only make big moves like Max Keeble, ya feel me?
It’s my time like Morris, one heck of an artist
All I do is spit fire like Dracarys, I’m off this
