[Verse 1: Torey D'Shaun]
We the land of the brave
The generation make it rain
Y'all won't accept it, I'm amazed
No other way around us like a maze
We the [?] God been sittin' on
Not a bigger release but a different flow
Y'all come around that's a pick and roll
Give and go, honor roll, spiritual finger roll, uh
Ah! The youngins 'bout to shake the nation
Ah! Put the "pen" in penetration
Ooh, thinkin' this comedic, they been actin' up
Yeah, we ain't with the actin' this the activation
Don't you need a different side, it's welcome to the sky like college
Elephant up in his game, people give him awkward silence
Don't believe in the left, bet, then gotta change yo' mind
It's takin' off and we ain't messin' with no autopilot
[Break: Ty Brasel]
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thought I told y'all, thought I told y'all, thought I told y'all
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, aye
[Verse 2: Ty Brasel]
I thought I told y'all we the new school
God chosen, got the juice, boy
Melatonin, they still sleep
Cold flow gon' wake 'em up
I've been workin' like two full times
(Two full times)
I've been givin' them free knowledge like two full rides
This the young scholar puttin' game down
(Put the game down) Uh
Came in the game with a plan to reach lost
Souls, outreached, lost past the four walls
We go the blueprint straight from Most High
God all day my steps I could really care less
If they talk down, I got soul ties
With the true God, revelation came down
Don't waste time, you don't know when the timeout
I see the adversary plottin'
On me
They comin' at me with the weapons heavy
But I'm armored up like the military
This is Kingdom business, got the soldiers with me
For the mission, we'll ride heavy
I can't live a lie, I won't live a lie
That's eternal to a side name with it, no
[Verse 3: Ki'shon Furlow]
I grew up, didn't have a pot to piss
My hood look like a apocalypse
All I ever wanted was a presidential Rollie
I'm pulled on the politics
We was hungry, so we got it
Right outta the mud like a hippopotamus
Rappers think they got the sauce
Till you walk in the building with all of the condiments
I put the "scholar" in scholarship
Lot of these boys they redshirt
My parts of the paper was legwork
Had to walk with a limp like I'm Fred Durst
Put the pepper down, now my girl
So exclusive, I released it
I'm so ahead with my new hits
If I go back in time, I'ma see you later
I'ma adjust my work and then I sleep away
Tryna tell 'em I'ma break a record if I need a break
Trust in this hip-hop, that's a leap of faith
No, no sweat, the technique, I think they wanna see me fake
Real life, I got a lot to tell
Hood scholar, with the block I yell
Music comin', sorry for the wait
I'ma drop a scale and well
They ask me if I do this every day
And I say, "Often"
Don't need yo' approval
Tell me, who you think you talkin'?
Turn to a ghost
Tell me, who you think you callin'?
If I ever fall back
I'ma put 'em in a coffin
[Verse 4: Street Hymns]
My generation get tatted
My generation pull baddies
My generation wait for nothin'
'Bout 20-somethin', we already married
My generation gets bookeed
That I club a bar and don't get shook
My generation got a clear conscience
Comin' home smellin' like kush
'Cause we ain't partook, we just played our part
Took the Word to the wild tings
They like, "How you get the wave, kid?"
No durag, I'm just stylin'
My team versus yo' team
Yo' team gon' need more team
All things we can endure
'Cause we got the keys like a motif
Still learnin' from the OGs
Listened close to what they told me
If they ain't laid the foundation and paved the way
Then there ain't no streak
No Torey, no Ki'
No Ty, so we hold the trophy
And put on for millennials
'Cause the lineage runs so deep
No sleep, K, relax
We some wavy cats
New school, Navy grad
No, you can't be that
[Verse 5: Torey D'Shaun]
I'm too prestige for you to press these
To and true for you to bless these, too suited up, can't address these
So much finessin', I could pep please
Shakin', we'll see who gets epilepsy
Throw some dirt on me and I'ma plant seeds
Squish yo' promises and kick yo' [?], policin' my flow, you can't arrest these
No water spill, you can't correct these
One man's trash is another guy's treasure, turn up
Torey D'Shaun comin' off of the sidelines
The kid raisin' the bar, he bringin' the WiFi
They tryna take my freedom and make it a guideline
So now I'm not crossin' the line and sayin' I'm offsides
Put the beef in the bag, that's Five Guys
And it's Modern Warfare, I'm on top of the high-rise
Aye, nice try, get yo' hand off my lightbulb
Wait a minute, I'm eatin', I can't talk with my mouth full
Comment section on YouTube be wylin' out
Another Illuminati reference, I'm signin' out
Accountability from a computer, count me out
Don't sleep on what I'm thinkin' 'cause it's comin' up out the pouch
I'm on angles, I don't wanna slow dance
In my hood, you would hardly ever see a real snowman
This is what I call hard romance
'Cause where we planted at, you would never see a soul, man
Everyone knows I'll kill a line, no coke
I picture these lines goin' over heads
Then I use a line to the in between the line
I'm in a different state of mind the way I'm crossin' lines
Borderline crazy, OK, I'm willin' to give [?]
Lemme start rappin' and get to the picture like ocean
A lot of these soak our family, tryin' to get rid of me
Tellin' me that I'm playin' both sides, symmetry
Gimme words and a bib and I'ma give you reason to live
I might just run up in homes 'cause I met God at the crib, yeah
Comin' out the hood runnin' wild, hands dirty, yeah
Conscience if you get the green light, he number 30
Just the slow and steady, new school better keep an open mind
Game need workin' watch me put in all this overtime
