Intro (Skanks & Marquee)
Marquee in the building
(That's right)
I go by the name of the flowfessional
Skanks the rap martyr
We got Venom on the production
(Venom on the beat, vigilante)
We here to raise the bar on ya'll
(Raise that shit)
Step ya game up
(marvel records)
Scratches (Venom)
(Do you know where that's at fellas?)
Verse 1 (Marquee)
Chicks I crush with the diction
Eyes fixed on the vixen
So hooked on the flow
You gonna need an intervention
Acrobatic linguistics
Verbal war fare relentless
Bars give 'em the business
Pen game tremendous
Ain't buying Gucci bathrooms
Toilets with gold faucets
More like investments, portfolios
And corporate
Tune out the noise, gossip
Ratchet garbage
Share my feminine mystique
With my BK correspondents
Yall rap nonsense
No concepts no content
Love for the game
Harlots do it for the profits
Pasties and top less
Da jewels fancy garments
Limelight the sponsors
I do it for the projects
Predicate convicts
Single mothers no baby father's
Young-ins on the come up
The God's dropping knowledge
Emcee's, B-girls, djs, graph artists
Embodiment of the streets
In a world that loves hip hop
Chorus (Marquee and Skanks)
Up, up, up star we raise the bar
Trip over the height
You can't reach that far
Local stage ain't paying for the league
Of boss
Your dreams, fees and cars
Can't meet the cost
Nooooo
What up buck yo we raise the bar
Keep it safe in the paint
Player stay your mark
Play your part while we play our part
Proven top shelf hustlers
Cuz, you say we are
G-yea
Verse 2 Marquee
Got them killers out in Queens
That be holding them Glocks
Gorillas and cop killers
That be lurking on blocks
While we steady counting money
That we made in them stocks
You on the corner trying to hustle
Holding rocks in your socks
In the hood
We 'bout that cash
You can't think slow
Every nigga on the corner in the same boat
Every corner nigga ain't the same tho
How you boss on a payroll
Floss want appraisal
Corleone but you Fredo
Fairytale felon fables
Get you stitched up and stapled
Ain't no room for many plates
When it's money on the table
Be on stages
Where the locale is dangerous
Ain't nothing to a chick like me
I got bangers
Don't fuck with bitches
Begging for baby milk and pampers
No drive for advancement
Side pieces and randoms
Up the Dodge to a gray Ferrari
Trip over the height
Cop bills too large to fold the wad
Chorus
Outro (Skanks & Marquee)
Damn, Marquee
Not only did you raise the bar on these fools
But I think you set the new standard
Yea, these hoes better catch up yo)
Raise it up)
Get ya car game up, get ya money game up
Get ya rap bars up, get ya shoe game up
Venom on the beat
The Femme fatale Marquee
Skanks the flowfessional, Bankai
Block Share yall
