On some K-are-S be here forever type, uh

You-you-you know you shouldn't rhyme like, uh
Let them pussy niggas get in your mind like, uh
Baby boy, you could do it take your time do it

Few get the chance
To be a man in a B-boy stance and advanced from the go
I'll trace outer space with uh
The babysitter of style
I've traveled miles with bitches and
I've traveled miles with
I've traveled miles with bitches and brew the ritual
Of the real uh
Platinum but real uhs don't feel ya

Baby girl let's go half on a child for the ooh
Lick shots, pop lock and blow for the ooh
Like Ra, I'll move a crowd for the ooh

You talkin' loud and ain't sayin' ooh
Trickin' paper on a, Captain Save-a-ooh
I've never been, the type of nigga
To take a broad to the courts
As a shorty I was always into sports
Now I talk to drums and walk in slums and thoughts that's ooh

Instinct to hustle
Divided by the struggle
Plus a couple of scuffles led up to how I shuffle
Even with the sound muffled
I bust through, narrow gates
With king-sized thoughts that's sparrow shaped
Before I came up I had to elevate
Let a nigga move where he want to move up to
You don't like how I'm living well fuck you
I stuck to what I was on
A star is born on a cusp
Many angels fell to the dust
Leavin' me to trust, only a ooh
Leavin' me to trust y'all only a ooh
Leavin' me to trust in uh, ooh ooh ooh

As long as it's funky, alright, yeah, okay, yeah

I’m so thankful for that cat right there
The very, very first tour I ever went on
And seen the whole world with
Rash, you know one of the first people to hear me sing and really believe in what I was doing, you know what I’m saying?
I appreciate that shit, hell yeah

Yo, when these cats was doing I was like a little baby
Me and Rob would go to all of the jam sessions and check the shit out
And Ahmir, infamous for all of the exclusive, exclusive jam sessions
You know, we would wind up in there
And we’d go get places like the Wetlands
I really appreciate that shit, G

Can we keep on?
This song we about to do
Y’all might know this
