Show Them What You're Made

Walking down the block, never pay for bad business
Yeah I came to rap, put this record in Guinness
Ain't no competition, when it come to these minutes
I could never stop, come and be another witness
Made it through the storm, put the truth in the memes
Tried to tell the truth, harder than it seems
Never mind the press, they don't know what's next
They don't know the EBS is for coming their neck

Hit them with a shimmy
Show them what you're made
Yeah we party hard
Dance the day away

I know we good baby, ain't no stressing me
Ain't no crime rate rising, when we live in peace
That's okay guys, no need for homicide
No need for gang banging, no need for driveways
No need for cocaine, no need for Hennessy
No need for drunk texts, no need for pushing keys!
No need for pushing keys
I know my family healing, we need some god please
I'm from the boogie down, seen a lot of things
Been through a lot man!
Man!

Hit them with a shimmy
Show them what you're made
Yeah we party hard
Dance the day away

You don't know about top ramen, hot pockets
We on a budget, but we ain't stopping
Always involved with some haters, our style that they jocking
Who went to college for financial aid, direct deposits
All that money that CUNYFirst gave us, to pay for housing
We lived so poor, but baby, you know that rent paid!
I gotta say, who else lied, And said that they okay?
I made a clear choice, I'm choosing god today
I've had a lot pain, but you know that god saves
I came to pray for a better day, anyway
So here's the gameplay

Hit them with a shimmy
Show them what you're made
Yeah we party hard
Dance the day away

Aye, I want everybody to get
Get on their feet
You feel me?
Aye

To the left, to the left
And then to the right, to the right
And then we swing, we swing
And then we ride, we ride
To the left, to the left
And then to the right, to the right
And then we swing, we swing
And then we ride, we ride

To the left, to the left
And then to the right, to the right
And then we swing, we swing
And then we ride, we ride
To the left, to the left
And then to the right, to the right
And then we swing, we swing
And then we ride, we ride
Aye

Trade winds
Can't you see! Can't you see! See the trade winds
Can't you see! Can't you see! Trade winds
Can't you see! Can't you see! See the trade winds
Can't you see! Can't you see! Trade winds
Can't you see! Can't you see!...

I guess many of you don't recognize me, I lost a good bit of weight
But you see, I've been sick, I fell into bad health (alright)
Now having to miss so many days for work, I lost my job
Not only did I lose my job, but
Not having any consistent income, no money coming in
I had to, go and apply for food stamps
And with no job, and no house, and no car, no money!
I had a little money saved up, and I tried to keep things going
Waiting to get back on the feet again, but
You know
Completely wiped out my savings
Completely wiped out my savings
Completely wiped out my savings
Completely wiped out my savings
