[Intro: Left Lane Didon]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Left Lane Didon]
Bro, I'm not steady
Dead weight on my heart, I'm top heavy
Yo, dealt cards, breathe/felt scars, what we gon' tell Yah?
Life was hard, we rock ready, nah really
Hesi stop, Pop deadly
Drop twenty, the game seem lame; the block empty
Got knots in my belly, got slingshots, Glocks and mops
And my telly needs Nak chilling
Treetops from the ceiling, no fish dangling
Just lessons in angling, pass it around
Live dangerous, angles get rearranged after a while
Wild banging hips out and about, I'm tanglеd in
Your star-spangled banner seem tatterеd and thin
Our pain begin where your actions end
Learn the top asking a whim, burning time like you got it to spend
I guess all things crash in the end but then again
[Chorus: All Hail Y.T.]
Gotta remain focused, gotta remain focused
They wanna see us broke and hopeless, we don't even know our culture
Just carry on for the vultures
In the land, now it's stolen
Gotta remain focused, you gotta remain focused
They wanna see you broke and hopeless, we don't even know our culture
Just carry on for the vultures
In the land, now it's stolen
[Verse 2: Chris Skillz]
I was born dumping, heartless, mean-mugging
Sixteen fronting, hopefully I'll be something
You see nothing, hear vocals, hear thumping
Machines drumming, manifestations of becoming what they feared
Out of the norm, my vision clear
Far-sighted, at a reach but it's near
Turn me up, lemme flex for a second, this rap shit is my weapon
The unaccepted just arrived
Am I mashing on the gas? It's like the whip drives in reverse
Loaded blicky on my lap lets me know that I'm cursed
It's the worst when you step in that tunnel, there's all these lights right?
At the end you keep going, it's dark as night
Like, I'm searching for light, hoping and dreaming
Started dumping, seeing sparks, somehow it's given me meaning
We getting close, but still so far, my vision coded
Doors locked, see the handles? it's all corroded
Need to cleanse it, dumping then dumping, the clips extended
Above the clouds, grey nights where I ascended
Am I free? the powers that be tell me it's We
Trust, Dump Life in the name of me
[Chorus: All Hail Y.T.]
Gotta remain focused, gotta remain focused
They wanna see us broke and hopeless, we don't even know our culture
Just carry on for the vultures
In the land, now it's stolen
Gotta remain focused, you gotta remain focused
They wanna see you broke and hopeless, we don't even know our culture
Just carry on for the vultures
In the land, now it's stolen
[Verse 3: All Hail Y.T.]
Yeah
I got a letter from the government, addressed to me
It's said "We got an eye on you, All Hail Y.T
We been peeping all your movements on the net to the streets
Dropping bomb after bomb, packed consecutively
Now you selling worldwide from extravagant fees
We happy to see you growing but actually
We ain't get our cut, we don't need a lot, just enough
Let us fill our cup up of the water-well that you ducked; shrug
Typically, we prefer our rappers intoxicated
Uneducated and medicated, we elevate em
It's not secret, radio did invest in prisons
The more niggas that you send us, well that's best for business
So we wrote this, hoping we could work together
We got Kanye and Oprah both in motions with our endeavors
P.S. we expect that you'll keep this under-wraps
And expect a visit from us if we don't hear back
[Chorus: All Hail Y.T.]
Gotta remain focused, gotta remain focused
They wanna see us broke and hopeless, we don't even know our culture
Just carry on for the vultures
In the land, now it's stolen
Gotta remain focused, you gotta remain focused
They wanna see you broke and hopeless, we don't even know our culture
Just carry on for the vultures
In the land, now it's stolen
[Outro]
We have to recognize who our major enemy is
The major enemy is not your brother, flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood
