Give Back

Yeah, Daptone, O. Savant, O’hene Savant Multimedia LLC that’s, that’s the squad right? That’s the new joint

Verse 1:
Rap amateurs can’t handle this
They mad and trip havin’ fits sh*t’s scandalous
This canvas is all he likes
Bars be like starry nights ‘cause he always writes
The Pisces, spicy like jalapeños
Like Caribbean sistahs or my Latinos
You might’a seen though, the Ghana griot
Playin’ the mean roads and tearin’ up these shows
Philly wit’ it now in ATL
A world citizen though, you could maybe tell
I get love in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Switzerland
Independent and yet still tend to get the yen
Benjamins, euros, pesos, CDs
CDs sell every year like a new release
That’s what happen when your rhymes is timeless
Lines is priceless and you can’t even price it
Heh, it’s Peabo Bryson
Streets so vibe it’s why the people like him
I don’t need no hype-men
Lyric-writin’ is like Erick’s writin’
Black MC or the one from Def Squad
It doesn’t really matter as long as it’s the best guy’s
‘cause I’m one of the best guys
I put that on my left eye or Left Eye

Huh, and so you know this isn’t rap
This is me up in the lab givin’ back
Yo I said this isn’t rap
This is me with my craft givin’ back
Yo this isn’t rap
This is me up in the lab givin’ back
Just so you know this isn’t rap
(yeah, listen) I’m givin’ back

Verse 2:
If I ever had writer’s block, I might just jot
A hot sixteen on writer’s block, not just stop
A wise man said others have upon them
What we have’s a river for a mind
Mine keeps goin’ when I’m snorin’ it composes
And even when I’m wide awake doin’ other chores it can’t focus
Some call it talent what I call an obsession
But, either way it’s a blessin’
I learned to stop measurin’ my success in life by my stats
And took it back to the tracks that’s where it’s at
I saw Charles Brad give hugs to all his fans
It brought me back to the reason I wanted to rap
I’m here to make a impact not be another hack
The day that I pass, I want my fans to feel a gap
That’s why I take the craft to heart up in the lab
I treat every record like it’s my last
I’m givin’ back

Uh, and so you know this isn’t rap
This is the way I’m givin’ back
Every time up in the lab
I’m givin’ back yo
And so you know this isn’t rap
This is me up in the lab givin’ back
With different tracks
This is how I’m givin’ back
I’m givin’ back
I’m givin’ back
Said I’m givin’ back
Yup, I’m givin’ back
I’m givin’ back
