Lyrics
You could be thinking yournew tracks are all that
So you pass'em on to an A&R- No callbacks
You follow up on his car fax
'Cause all you wanna hear is the raw facts
I don't have the patients either, just to jaw & yack
I'm sayin', Cause some red lights lead to care jacks
And I ain't tryn' to stay where I stalled at
Never judge a mans' future on the direction of his ball cap
(Chorus)
That's why we gotta keep on stompin'
We gotta keep on ridin'
And we gotta keep on reachin, and risin' and rhymin
Said we gotta keep on growin'
Givin 'em all what they love
And we gotta keep on showin'
The world just what we're made of
(Verse2)
Haven't you heard, it's Go-time?
Just keep it steady and smooth just like a slow rhyme
Right now you may have no shine
That doesn't mean that you shouldn't develop your mind
Anybody wanna co-sign?
Or are you stuck on the grind, havin to tow the line?
Ladies your more than a "dyme"
Cause there's so many who refuse to leave that brotha behind
And to be real baby we love this
Gotta be more between us than a hug and a kiss
And I feel it in the back rub it's
The way you dug with your wrist
You can make a thug do the twist
So people whether you move like a slug or your swift
just prove you're willin to budge and we'll lift
And you just might rise above in the mix
Life gives you what you give it, so don't bug or trip
Chorus 2x
(Verse3)
Success the best motivator
Thank your Creator, then make something greater
That's how you take away the power from a hater
Start doing now, what you planned for later
Be the owner and the operator
Cop a squat at the top, but just remember to return the favor
Help another with the heavy labor
Money ain't everything, but it's time to get some steady paper
But beware where it can take ya
Cause it can break and shake and evaporate like vapor
Or it can break the, Cycle of poverty
A-llowin my seed to eat and see how to feed off of me
M-A-H-DI
I'm down low but my spirit stays high
Born June 28 Mahdi's my name
Give me all the rules and I can play your game
My color is green cause it's fit for a king
Right now I'm a prince to prowl in defense
Of God and my family, are you understanding me?
Man of great I am, that's what I plan to be
A-N-A-YA
You can save the games for another day
I was born on the 10th of May
I'm 4 years old and I have something to say
After that, I'ma go outside and play
Cross the street better look both ways
Stranger comes up, don't speak or wave
He's got canday, run away don's stay
Chorus
