207 DeKalb
This the shit that puts you in a vibe
This the shit that puts you in the mood
To lay down what you got to lay down
You know what I'm saying?
It's whatever tonight
Go head run the tab up
Yeah I'm paying the price
If you wanna get fly
Then I'm paying for flights, sike
Takeoff's delayed
What's shaking today
24hr dad never taking a break
But when she hit eighteen
Then I'm breaking the safe
Make no mistake
Fort Greene baby
How you been?
I been outta touch way too long
Last time I came around
Your embrace was warm
You lost a little sun
But the prodigals back
Ain't bringing no shade
Just love all day
I flew all around the world
I even went upstate
Well not what you think
I'll explain okay
It's what they ask about
Where he from and
How come the nigga rapping now
Better late than never to get the passion out
Bounced to Stuyvesant cuz they raised the rent
Back in double 0 my parents couldnt hash it out
Plus according to the teachers
I would act a clown
Occurred after my pops moved way uptown
Harlem Harlem Harlem Harlem
It's whatever tonight
Go head run the tab up
Yeah I'm paying the price
If you wanna get fly
Then I'm paying for flights, sike
Takeoff's delayed
What's shaking today
24hr dad I'm never taking a break
But when she hit eighteen
Then I'm breaking the safe
Make no mistake
Momma put me on the A train with a token
Transfer to the C one stop I'm hoping
It'll only be for two days max
It hurt so bad
Though I missed Not Rays on South Elliot
Nostrand ave Fridays were hella lit
Saint Nicks and 153rd what's the word
What a life I lived
But without you my heart wouldn't
B.E.A.T
If life was a track
Then my course was AP
But I aced that shit
Ventura baby
Getting way far ahead
Guillotines and Pez
Wound up in the burbs
Culture shock the word
I adapted survived
And I took my time
It's whatever tonight
Go head run the tab up
Yeah I'm paying the price
And if you wanna get fly
Then i'm paying for flights (Sike)
Takeoff's delayed
What's shaking today
24hr dad never taking a break
But when she hit eighteen
Then I'm breaking the safe
Make no mistake
We don't need a cosign
Myrtle Ave
Lemme see you rep it one time
Ay ya
Tell em man fuck a cosign
DeKalb ave
Was the start of the path
Got lit by those not used to the dark
Let's just say I could tell me apart
From those most seen
Through glass on our screens
Finessed what I could
Then departed the woods
But not before I'd pick up a ball
Wasn't seven feet tall
But a beast on the boards
Being brutally honest
It would line my pockets
Plenty more to accomplish
Kailani my compass
Cuz I went through the shit
Trust me I understand
Reaching out on this record
And I'll be back again
They wanna buy us out
And sell us back within
Here I Am pun intended
Hat in hand saying
Good things come to those who wait
Never too late to save that date
An open letter to those who wait
Fuck a nigga hating on what you say
Empty threats they hold no weight
Those who doubt can catch a fade
Cuz good things come to those who wait
This the shit that puts you in the mood
To lay down what you got to lay down
You know what I'm saying?
It's whatever tonight
Go head run the tab up
Yeah I'm paying the price
If you wanna get fly
Then I'm paying for flights, sike
Takeoff's delayed
What's shaking today
24hr dad never taking a break
But when she hit eighteen
