Intro:
This right here is a journey
Of sticking true to myself
Being open minded
And not diminishing my creativity
So without further a due
This is how we do it
Verse 1:
This is how we do it, I'm ready to start a movement
Through higher learning our light is burning and we're improving
Through beautiful music, if you don't get it then you stupid
If you with it, then just groove it
Act a fool then just straight lose it
Rappers are the new era politicians, politicking simply to get our visions, regardless of our pigment
Mosh-pitting with excision, this game's a competition
You gotta make your dreams come true no well wishing
So you know I've never hung off of Niday's coat tail, mad cause I get his beats on wholesale
Girls showing up to the after party then we hit the hotel
You know I never took too kindly to your jokes but oh well
They said I took it too far oh well
They said I took it too far, oh well
Why cause I just keep bouncing up and down
Cause they never let us in but now we in the house
Hook:
They never believed, they always wanted to doubt
Never second guessed, they always counted us out
But now we're in the house, house, house
Now we're in the house, house, house
Thought we didn't have the drive, but that's all that we're about
Gotta make 'em see we're really movin' the crowd
And now we're in the house, house, house
Now we're in the house, house, house
Verse 2:
What's the difference between me and you?
If you knew come thru to see what this life could do to you
Sometimes I feel like I'm right at the future
My brand my plan if people can understand where I'm headed
Then all this nonsense I'm speaking of they could really get it
I get upset when people don't see the genius behind things
I may be small I like playing with these Yao Ming's
Turn these cyphers into crime scenes
You think you know me but do you know what it's like
To be an only child and hear your parents do nothing but fight
I came home to an empty house from day until night
I lost the light but kept trudging till I gained back my sight
Don't make it seem like I'm better than you
You weren't the only one that was by himself all afternoon
I waited for my momma just to eat in different rooms
I love my parents but at times I felt misconstrued
They taught me a lot, I wanted respect from my peers
Didn't take me serious, they were deaf on the ears
How can people think they're better than their fellow man
Cause divided we fall but United we stand
Bridge:
Cause when you testify you can touch the sky
Next Spread Your Wings so you can learn how to fly
They slept on me then but now they know I'm the guy
And if you want to dream then just open your eyes
[Hook]
Hook #2:
They never believed, they always want to doubt
Never second guessed, they always counted us out
But now we got that bounce, bounce, bounce
Now we got that bounce, bounce
Thought we didn't have the drive, but that's all that we're about
Now we got that bounce, bounce, bounce
But now we got that bounce, bounce, bounce
Bridge #2 (Greg Whitley) 2x:
Now we in the house and we own it
Now we in the house and we flaunt it
Cause now we in the house and this is how we do it
Outro:
They say when I rap I'm spitting straight Ludacris
I don't act but I rap that's that fast and the furious
Studious, I've been Hungary since I took the flight from Budapest
Take this bread and eat it so I pass around the Eucharist
