[Intro]
The way I wanted to do it was like a... like a Dilla beat
Yeah like uh, [?]
Yeah, uh, [?]
[Verse 1]
Yo I do it cause it's in my blood, in my veins
This be J. Dilla in my chains, so I spit every single verse in his name
And I don't give a fuck if we, sound the same
Still going through around the flames and clown the game
Talking about me, all yall niggas sound the same
Beats wack as fuck, and yall style is lame
I do it cause I love it, keep raising the bar, imma keep rising above it
I do it for [?]
Cause yall created a fuckin monster, here to take over this legacy
Making me the prodigy, honestly, I could give a fuck about modesty
This is what I do, it's my life, and all I gotta do is stay true to me, and whatever I do
What
[Chorus]
If you want, wanna
Wanna feel like we're doomed
We'll show you
[Verse 2]
Yo I do it for the principle, it's that simple
I did it for the 313rd, residential, area
Spot where I'll probably be buried at
Raise a seed, start a family, dog was a terrier
It's just in my blood to make more music
Renew the Detroit ruins and imma do it
If MLK did, then Young [?] can
Standing on the shoulders of my peeps
Who knows all the highs I can reach?
I knew I would rise from beneath
Got a crew without lies on the beat
The fly and unique, the truth's what we seek
All we speak, and release, freestyles we unleash
[Chorus]
If you want, wanna
Wanna feel like we're doomed
We'll show you
We'll show you
[Verse 3]
This is my career life, its a 9 to 5 life
Gotta keep my head light, eyes on the prize like
When you on a mission, its essential surprise and seige
No obstacles, we on the go
I remember when the opportunity [?]
Such a good feeling, now we in the trench
If I had to do it for ya, when we begin
It's essential, we gon do this till the end
Like, making good music, yo I gotta hear it
And if its true for you inspired imma live it
And I'm still on a mission, gotta make a million
Cause they pay attention, everything you spend upon
Do this, do this, to you first
Then live it on tackling the obstacles, like you top notch
Since you feeling this, such a good feeling
Good, feeling, ayo we out
[Chorus]
If you want, wanna (We'll)
Wanna feel like we're doomed (We will show you)
We'll show you (We will, we will)
If you want, wanna (We'll)
Wanna feel like we're doomed (We will show you)
We'll show you
If you wanna wait, we'll show you
[Outro]
