Go back and fetch it you can catch it, just ease your mind
It's easy just to slip on time
Go back and fetch it you can catch it, just ease your mind
It's easy just to slip on time
Go back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back and catch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, everybody go back)

I've been paying homage to my kinfolk
Feeling every drop of sunlight on my skin so
Motivated and dedicated to buildin' up
My tribal inheritance, the coffers are fillin' up

I'm coming back for everything that is mine
The bill's been paid for by ancestors along the line
So destined to be, by the The Most High's design
Fixated in the mind, right now is the time!

Let's grind, we've got a lotta work to do to make this
Into something tangible to feel it I can taste it
Chasing, more than a dream never wasting
The opportunity to reach way back and take it
Go back and fetch it you can catch it, just ease your mind
It's easy just to slip on time
Go back and catch it you can fetch it, just ease your mind
It's easy just to slip on time
Go back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back and catch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, everybody go back)

Extra special, extraterrestrial, extrasensory
Perception so I reckon I'm otherworldly exponentially
The hyperbolic syllabic, sesquipedalia mystic-ness
Rhyme for days like Isaac Hayes to show you where the rhythm is
Flow so limitless
With a doctorate in rockin' this complete with ugly penmanship
So if the meaning is to go back and get it
Then I'm a do it with a flow that's terrific
And leave a message for the future to come back and get
Making sure the history they're teaching you is accurate
You're staying on the surface, which means that I have to get
Deep as the Mobb of Prodigy and Havoc is

Go back and fetch it you can catch it, just ease your mind
It's easy just to slip on time
Go back and fetch it you can catch it, just ease your mind
It's easy just to slip on time
Go back and fetch it you can catch it, just ease your mind
It's easy just to slip on time
Go back and fetch it you can catch it
Go back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back and catch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
(You gotta go, you've got to go back)
Go back back and fetch it
(You gotta go, you've got to go)
