[Intro]
41 done it
[Chorus]
And the name ring bells
Moves get made on the cell
Moves to escape all the Ls
Me and my dudes keep chasing a mil
In the for kill and the name reminds them
Who's top dog and shining?
Who's down to ride in a war beside him?
Who's top five and got four behind him?
No lie, and the name ring bells
Moves get made on the cell
Moves to escape all the Ls
Me and my dudes keep chasing a mil
In the for kill and the namе reminds them
Who's top dog and shining?
Who's down to ride in a war bеside him?
Who's top five and got four behind him?
No lie, and the name ring bells
[Verse 1]
Looking at the 18th, it's all eagles, fuck tryna par them
I needa run up Gs til I'm 8 feet buried up underneath of the garden (Pushing up daisies)
Back at 18 I was a young MC that chased stardom
Now the young MCs seem to hate me
But what's a Young MC when you're Rakim? (I ain't no joke)
Living at the margin, it's either swim or we're drowning in some ways (In too deep)
As I move to the new moon, can't make a U-turn now on a one way
Still, you'll only see the frown on some days (Fuck out my face)
Had to bury Mum too soon
Had to see my house burnt down on the front page
Thinking of Blackheart rum days
Southpole clothes, had to take 'em all way back (That's back to Palmy)
Used to wish I had a high-top fade, fuck knows why I tried to wear the wave cap (Man, fuck knows)
I was taught by the real OGs that's a sold game, you're gonna have to pay back (The game is sold)
Can't shelter these dudes from the heat, when it's clear that they're gonna throw the shade back (Fuck 'em)
What did Dave say? Nah I don't rate that, I don't buy what they advertise
I can see all the resent they harbour, for my descent they're incentivised
I'm your father, I don't respect how you're telling lies
Like how you rap about Balenciaga when the paycheck says Hallensteins
[Chorus]
And the name ring bells
Moves get made on the cell
Moves to escape all the Ls
Me and my dudes keep chasing a mil
In the for kill and the name reminds them
Who's top dog and shining?
Who's down to ride in a war beside him?
Who's top five and got four behind him?
No lie, and the name ring bells
Moves get made on the cell
Moves to escape all the Ls
Me and my dudes keep chasing a mil
In the for kill and the name reminds them
Who's top dog and shining?
Who's down to ride in a war beside him?
Who's top five and got four behind him?
[Verse 2]
Still, the name is hefty
Night after night, show 'em all who the best be
Write with the right, though I ball with the lefty
Write with the right, and I score like I'm Messi (Yup)
Like I'm Gretzky (Get in)
Like I'm Carter
First five years, I was gaining that mana
Get in my face, get ya brain Nirvana'd
Vincent Chase how the name brings drama, still bananas (What?)
Going ape shit, knew too well I could never be complacent
2XL, I don't fit in that BAPE shit
Gave you hell, so the names brings hatred (From?)
From the basics (Standard)
From the fuckwits
Step in the door, shit is known to get ruckus
Step on the court, shit I'm known to get buckets
Step on your jaw like I'm Tony Soprano (Woo)
Straight out to lunch how the name ring
[Chorus]
The name ring bells, moves get made on the cell
Moves to escape all the Ls
Me and my dudes keep chasing a mil
In the for kill and the name reminds them
Who's top dog and shining?
Who's down to ride in a war beside him?
Who's top five and got four behind him?
No lie, and the name ring bells
Moves get made on the cell
Moves to escape all the Ls
Me and my dudes keep chasing a mil
In the for kill and the name reminds them
Who's top dog and shining?
Who's down to ride in a war beside him?
Who's top five and got four behind him?
No lie, and the name ring bells
(No lie and the name ring bells)
(No lie and the name ring bells)
