Always Been Us

We're here to make a scene
N let you know that's it's not act, though
We cast and screen
Talents gleaned
From all the excess lean
To intervene would be like
Walking a tight rope
So instead we let the balance beam
Now that we
Got this thing by the mic yo
It's time to push back fallacies
How yo dreams gon provide dough
Been steady up'n calories
Dietarily psycho
So when we weight watch
I ain't talking bean and rice hoe
Dig the cycle
Let's get dug
Gaming cats who get the plug
Or the inference
Insignificance the judge
Objections to what never was
Plaintiff's crossed
Exam facts
The gamut wider than
Track of planets
Flung into the sun
Confuse the earthbound
Appollo's Creed mixed speed
S'got em feelin concerned how
With the view of a vet
We never fret
The bridges we burn down
Cuz it's always been set
Like tables
And we platting to serve now

It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's all within us
System functions obvious
You over humble self
You end up on the shelf
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always business
So now it's buy and sell
Back and forth
The clientele competes
Our seats reclined in wealth

Greatness is your own design
If you're the judge and jury
Then there's no need to worry
Bout the time
When nothing else is on the line
Except for spine
Yeah
Stand up and grind
Like a pre-roll
And pass around
Like people on family feud
Yeah
This dude is tellin you it's nothing
It's time to take a bite out the game
On our McGruff and grizzle
A tougher riddle's
Never been before ya
Know you can't box (box and 1)
And 1 of us gon keep it shooting
We some Warriors
See the futures coming closer
Don't approach
Less guns in holsters
Toting roasters
Chickens with that bread
Get lead
We call it toastin
We ain't gun promoting
We use vernacular
Like hackers do
To make this appealling packing
More potent
So when so and so's
Be sayin something
They ain't saying nothing to us
Eyes on the prize
Obama's blood
Vein of a king
Microphone is the weapon of choice
Now every time we rhyme
We're hearing the voice
Sayin

It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's all within us
System functions obvious
You over humble self
You end up on the shelf
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always business
So now it's buy and sell
Back and forth
The clientele competes
Our seats reclined in wealth

It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's all within us
System functions obvious
You over humble self
You end up on the shelf
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always business
So now it's buy and sell
Back and forth
The clientele competes
Our seats reclined in wealth

It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's all within us
System functions obvious
You over humble self
You end up on the shelf
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always been us
Never been nobody else
It's always business
So now it's buy and sell
Back and forth
The clientele competes
Our seats reclined in wealth
