Heron

Intro:
I been nasty with this pen
ever since the age of ten
I'ma show you how I am
soon as Stress bring this beat in
Verse 1:
I'm a rap phenomenon, Ray Charles Robinson on heron
musical genius, needle up in my arm
writing these bomb lyrics harm whoever step on these landmines
limbs Timbs flying like airlines
so put your seat back, cut the beat on cause I'm killin' that
these rappers softer than a pussy that's Brazillian waxed
people outside the 215 think we're weird
a city full of thugs pulling guns out their beard
and they quick to put the Ruger to your mellon champ
but life goes on John Cougar Mellencamp
said it best I'm a fresh definition
tryna serve the rest but there's too many chefs in the kitchen
cause right now hip hop is in a slump
we need to bring the fun back, where's Humpty Hump?
I'd rather have MC Hammer on this mic dancing
he was way more entertaining then these wack rappers ranting
Hook:
Don't be offended that's just my opinion
written in stone, zoned out to the rhythm
I'm the man up in this piece this year
I run shit around here, you just live here
and even if I could yo I wouldn't stop
cause I'm addicted to this lifestyle of Hip Hop
it's in my vein you can hear it flow through my arm
and I need it like a junkie need heron
Verse 2:
I spit the, hideous, grittiest, flow that's gruesome
having dudes wildin' gouging out their eye like Houston
I come across humble but I'm far from a sucka
you come on stage you best be ready to rumble like Michael Buffer
I write tougher, always relinquish another style
while you carrying that extinguished torch another mile
when this hip hop shit is illegal and they abolish it
I rep it hard I should be listed in the acknowledgments
as one of the illest in conversations 'bout who was great
dudes analyze my music like the Zapruder tape
an unsolved mystery just like that Bermuda shape
I drive you insane, and cause you to self mutilate
I fumigate, airing these rappers out for practice
with a flow hotter than dog shit and stronger than cat piss
my first date I got to 3rd Bass without the Cactus Album
bent her over and started batting a thousand
Hook:
Don't be offended that's just my opinion
written in stone, zoned out to the rhythm
I'm the man up in this piece this year
I run shit around here, you just live here
and even if I could yo I wouldn't stop
cause I'm addicted to this lifestyle of Hip Hop
it's in my vein you can hear it flow through my arm
and I need it like a junkie need heron
Verse 3:
The way I come up on stage smiling and struttin'
you would think Steve Harvey just gave me an introduction
ran down my credentials and gave me a mic stand and instrumental
this ain't Barbara Streisand in Yentl
it's hardcore hip hop at it's finest
I never tell you the years cause the music's timeless
on stage you can tell I'm a polished professional
in the booth a spill truth like I'm up in confessional
yo I'm not a backpacker I replaced it brother
got a mic in one hand, a briefcase in the other
tell aspiring rappers to stay a fan, give it up
cause it's a thankless job and the dental plan sucks
you really gotta love it sacrifice and hustle hard
maybe press up your CD's on your credit card
don't quit your day job, your shits a hot mess
I might like it alot more if you played it alot less
Hook:
Don't be offended that's just my opinion
written in stone, zoned out to the rhythm
I'm the man up in this piece this year
I run shit around here, you just live here
and even if I could yo I wouldn't stop
cause I'm addicted to this lifestyle of Hip Hop
it's in my vein you can hear it flow through my arm
and I need it like a junkie need heron

2 Weeks Notice
03:38
|
|||
Verse 1:
Ayo I'm out y'all, I can't do this shit no mo
more power to you if you can but I gotta go
I can't see my self here another thirty years
doing the same job in the same dirty gear
I got a burning ambition, that supersede my current position
so before I get stuck in it
your little fifteen bucks an hour ain't cutting it
you can be the worker, but I'm tryna be the boss
I'm mostly on my humble, but sometimes I wanna floss
and get that gwop that my 9 to 5 can't provide
you want a seat on this bus or you tryna drive?
I wanna ride on a boat cruise the ocean
all around the Earth Wind and Fire with Devotion
cause my bills leave no scratch or cake to take home
feel like I'm chained there on some Black Snake Moan
my experiences make for a great song
Hook:
Take this job and shove it you gotta love it
got my advance with a husky ass budget
your benefits suck and your pay is bogus
so please accept this as my two week's notice
you can't fire me cause I quit
Krush Unit made an offer that I just can't resist
look we gettin' money over here keep focus
and please accept this as my two week's notice
Verse 2:
Yo dudes been working before I was born
mad cause they ain't got nothing else going on
this is it, this the bed you made gotta lay in it
this the game you signed up for, you gotta play in it
I know it's pitiful, I'm sorry that you're miserable
but what can I do except try to inspire you
I know you tired, when I feel that frustration
I pop in that Jeezy for some Thug Motivation
let's get it, insubordinate doing the unexpected
but all it takes to change my life is one hit record
I know I got a bigger purpose on this earth
at the gig writing rhymes more than I'm doing work, damn
cause this gig don't pay enough to live properly
and if I had a kid, dig, I'd probably be in poverty
I guess I'm just a dreamer in a world of debt
where they say that useless life is a early death
Hook:
Take this job and shove it you gotta love it
got my advance with a husky ass budget
your benefits suck and your pay is bogus
so please accept this as my two week's notice
you can't fire me cause I quit
Krush Unit made an offer that I just can't resist
look we gettin' money over here keep focus
and please accept this as my two week's notice
Verse 3:
On New Year's Eve dog you shoulda seen me lampin'
down DC up in a mini mansion
hanging with success, and yes, I wanna taste it
came back to Philly, cut on limited basic
three, six, ten, and the fishing channel
I turned it off, cut this beat on, and loaded this ammo
co-workers, friends, keep asking me when?
on the last day of work you gonna pull up in a Benz?
yeah I'ma sleep all day, I'ma party all night
with my Girlfriends Tracy Ellis Ross and Persia White
yeah right, got my whole life mapped in my head
know exactly what to do when I get this bread
and it's not make a sandwich
it's not buy a watch, or a chain, or a grill, or some shit that's outlandish
I just wanna rise and maximize my potential
cause if God is for you, then who can be against you
Hook:
Take this job and shove it you gotta love it
got my advance with a husky ass budget
your benefits suck and your pay is bogus
so please accept this as my two week's notice
you can't fire me cause I quit
Krush Unit made an offer that I just can't resist

They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
Verse 1:
Whatever happened to the good ole fashion ass whoopin?
them days is gone, you got beef, that heat will leave your back cookin'
the block was full of kids playing
till the Glock started spraying
stray bullets just chew through the air
duck down try to disappear into that pavement
these dudes ain't got no issue pulling out that pistol
just to lift you off your feet in a heartbeat and they won't even miss you
no rap not a whole lot of talking
just gats and big guns barking
you don't know what the next man holding
fuck that shit man just keep on walking
Hook:
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
Verse 2:
What you putting up your fist fo?
better pull out a 4-5th yo
we ain't fighting, this ain't Rocky akhi
this is Philly, they'll really have you leaking sloppy
over silly, over dumb shit
what it turn into gun shit, you don't want this
your Air Force One's better start their engines, other words you better run quick
fuck your life, that's their motto
stop snitching usually follows
cause if you do your gonna be ducking from some tips that's hollow
that's real talk
they call you coward cause you saw that gun and then you peeled
holla back cause coward live to tell all them cats how that brave muphuka got killed
Hook:
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
Verse 3:
They got hammers, ratchets, blammers, splashers, roscoes, biscuits
flamers, burners, heaters, buddies, toolies, I would not risk it
talking bout your skills is the best
seen cats get killed for less
cause you got beef with two crews
from a battle you lost on Youtube
is the streets imitating the music, is the music imitating the streets
I don't know now
all I know is when I see that four pound
run for the door yo it's about to go down
hip hop used to be so fun, nowadays if you scared better get prepared
never know when they gonna throw they guns in the air
and let'em buck buck buck like they just don't care
Hook:
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more
They don't fight no more, fight no more

Verse 1:
Yo I'm back the most prominent and dominant
my flow is milk, but most black folk are lactose intolerant
cats getting lazy, what happened?
nowadays the production be better than half the dudes rappin'
but here that's non-applicable
me and Stress is cool like dat, it's like we came off the planet that's digable
every time I go away I reappear
I'm tryna have a Cool J career stretching over twenty years
I know that sound kinda silly
cats say you really wanna make it in this game? then you gotta leave Philly
if the opportunity present itself I might choose it
right now it's like I'm moving slower than Screw music
I'm tryna move fast like Hyphy
and Stress make the blues Mo Better than Spike Lee
don't indict me, I ain't commit no vicious crime
the only thing I steal is a sistas mind, get yours cause I'm getting mine
Hook:
and I can tell you why the rest corny
but let me learn you bout this underground success story
little black bul from the hood made good
straight outta Oak Lane, what's his name? Terrence Wood
they say yeah that bul damn good
breath of fresh air do his thing I knew the man would
and I can tell you why the rest bore me
but let me learn you bout this underground success story
Verse 2:
I'm networking in the street and then I polly on the internet
my music hittin' countries that I probably haven't been to yet
and every ghetto is the same, the only thing that might change
here and there be the gear and the slang
but the rest it just repeats, the same suit is re-creased
peeps in the street, like what's up with your new release?
I sing the same song with different producers
they say a ounce of performance is worth a ton of excuses
but ain't tryna live grimy like a crook or villain
and have'em do me like I'm Tookie Williams
I seek redemption getting mentioned in the same vein as some Philly's illest
of course you got the haters but the rest really feel us
if the, block is hot then the ave is electric like Eddie Grant
I skip on your shit like a DJ with a heavy hand, and make the rest retire
I'm like a caveman the way I'm on this quest for fire
Hook:
and I can tell you why the rest corny
but let me learn you bout this underground success story
little black bul from the hood made good
straight outta Oak Lane, what's his name? Terrence Wood
they say yeah that bul damn good
breath of fresh air do his thing I knew the man would
and I can tell you why the rest bore me
but let me learn you bout this underground success story
Verse 3:
I'm tryna leave my impact in the future
so all you gotta do is say my first name like Luther
or Stevie, or Marvin, and you know who I'm talking 'bout
cats say your name, but half the crowd start walking out
they call me arrogant cause I speak with surety
nah that's just my confidence bumping 'gainst your insecurity
deal with it dog, I'm too beaucoup
you the smartest one up in your clique you need a new crew
see I come up in the booth a little tipsy off the hooch
bullying these rappers like Arnold and the Gooch
you can't handle, don't collide with Side's ammo
watch me rock your whole show off a iPod Nano
I start to get iller, with the strength of a retarded gorilla
knocking down all your arches and pillars
Side Effect see I was born raw
I'm here to shut down this industry quicker than a Aids infested porn star

Verse 1:
I don't know what it is I must have some luck with me
cause everywhere I go don't nobody ever fuck with me
I ain't no tough guy, I ain't no thug homie
I'm just a cool ass muphuka act like you know me
I've lived in black hoods, I've lived in white hoods
Spanish people think I'm one of them so there I'm good
I adapt to the environment I'm so street
in water grow fins, on land I grow feet
Hook:
I ain't no gangsta, no, I ain't no ballaholic
what's good with you playa, potna, homie? yo I can't call it
I just be hanging out having fun sipping liquor
in VIP with the scrippers and the dope dealers
Verse 2:
I'm up in here without a care I'm sipping on my beer
they looking at me like, who is he and why the hell he here?
allota action, money transacting, jewelry flashing
sipping thug passion, dealers shouting, scrippers laughing
and I'm party crashing I don't have a care in the world
had to get away from home I'm tired of arguing with my girl
just wanted to hear some hip hop and see some pretty women
check out the latest fashions, see how my people living
Hook:
I ain't no gangsta, no, I ain't no ballaholic
what's good with you playa, potna, homie? yo I can't call it
I just be hanging out having fun sipping liquor
in VIP with the scrippers and the dope dealers
Verse 3:
I'm in the club with the dope dealers and the scrippers
they breaking the stereotype that Blacks are poor tippers
this cat made me an offer but I had to refuse it
I think he wanted to wash his money up with my music
these girls are so drunk, nothing could sober'em
titties pushed up had had to tip toe to see over'em
they flicking lights on and off, that mean to get out
I'll be outside parking lot pimpin' playing this let out
Hook:
I ain't no gangsta, no, I ain't no ballaholic
what's good with you playa, potna, homie? yo I can't call it
I just be hanging out having fun sipping liquor
in VIP with the scrippers and the dope dealers

Tears For Fears

Verse 1:
Yo I live this hip hop this is me every damn day
I don't have no plan B, just another plan A
Side I be the underdog, jokes y'all had lots of them
but laugh now, it ain't as funny when the rabbit got the gun
I'm in the booth like I'm tryna get my vote on
I wrote this song up in a coupe I'm still paying the note on
I'm tryna get my goat on making music for your spirit
told Stress the hotter the beats, then the hotter I bring the lyrics
Verse 2:
Sometimes you gotta look within, cause that's where the truth is
and then go out on a limb cause that's where the fruits is
live life abundantly and try to bring my homies there
I don't need no gear made out of ostrich fur or pony hair
I'm a simple dude, flashy treasures I don't need this
a man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest
blessings on the way, God just moving 'round the pieces
cause my life is like a puzzle I just need him to complete this
Verse 3:
You can sleep on me but I don't think that I will ever rest
'till I bring in cake like I'm TD Jakes at Megafest
motivation speaker over beats that are drum tight
flat foot, bottled water, one mic
my impact is harder than colliding with your car fender
confide in me like your barber or your bartender
I'm not afraid to fail at times that's whatever
but my deepest fear is that I'm powerful beyond measure

The Real Feel
03:50
|
|||
Verse 1:
I got no choice but to give you what I know rhyming
I stand on my own nobody cosigning
no big established rapper or producer
put me on, I had to go back and do it how they use to
shine on your own merit straight from the muscle
not measured by your carats or how many rocks you hustle
you probably won't holla or try and get with me
cause I won't follow choosing dollars over dignity
I try to rhyme with some more accountability
lyrically for the little homies on the block feeling me
rolling up and down the boulevard, I know it's damn hard
my pops was born in Richard Allen pre-Ram Squad
ain't nothing change since then except the murder rate
over 400 killings last year I heard to date
I think of better times just to change pace
cause joy and depression can't reside in the same place
Hook:
You know it's real, got no choice but to give it to you
when you can feel it down in your soul living through you
move your body and your mind at the same time
tryna get it, gotta bring it, if you want it, cause it's real
You know it's real, got no choice but to give it to you
when you can feel it down in your soul living through you
move your body and your mind at the same time
tryna get it, gotta bring it, if you want it, cause it's real
Verse 2:
Yo I'm feirce from the start let me drop a style on ya
pierce your heart like the crocodile hunter
Hip Hop died on Christmas it's a bummer
chills up my spine everytime I hear Funky Drummer
time to get the doe, Stress load up the Tahoe
no crates, straight CDJ's or Serato
my flow be no joke, we ain't the Jerky Boys
come through and rock your whole show like The Herculoids
when I write my rhymin' is illegible
like it or not, sonically it sounds incredible
I create in conditions that's the dungiest
broke rapper starving artist sound the hungriest
but I'm blessed I know I could be doing more bad
a broke son reading Rich Dad Poor Dad
either way I'm still spittin' that shrapnel
with words that sound nasty like chitlins and scrapple
Hook:
You know it's real, got no choice but to give it to you
when you can feel it down in your soul living through you
move your body and your mind at the same time
tryna get it, gotta bring it, if you want it, cause it's real
You know it's real, got no choice but to give it to you
when you can feel it down in your soul living through you
move your body and your mind at the same time
tryna get it, gotta bring it, if you want it, cause it's real
Verse 3:
I used to disrespect women call'en dikes and bitches
and drop the N-bomb more than Michael Richards
but my new music changed, it don't contain
I try to refrain, from calling people out they name
man, I'm not perfect some things is hard to give up
like when I'm 'round my homies yo know I'm gonna slip up
but don't worry bout the content of my grammar
just know the finished products gonna be bananarama
I see these videos, I'm like damn dude
watch jammed with so many rocks the hands can't move
and then you put all that shit in your mouth
I'd rather put that in my crib yo, and flip my house
that's just me baby maybe I'm crazy
cause I ain't got Beyonce to upgrade me with the gravy
and neither do half the guys I know working
so I give you the real not the bastardized version
Hook:
You know it's real, got no choice but to give it to you
when you can feel it down in your soul living through you
move your body and your mind at the same time
tryna get it, gotta bring it, if you want it, cause it's real
You know it's real, got no choice but to give it to you
when you can feel it down in your soul living through you
move your body and your mind at the same time
tryna get it, gotta bring it, if you want it, cause it's real

Hook:
It's a passion for success, that burns deep inside me
it pushes me, it drives me, it leads me, it guides me
it tirelessly inspires me, look inside my diary
listen close to me you can hear the fire in me
It's a passion for success, that burns deep inside me
it pushes me, it drives me, it leads me, it guides me
it tirelessly inspires me, look inside my diary
listen close to me you can hear the fire in me
Verse 1:
Soon as the beat drop in I subconsciously start rocking
I've reached a point where I can't even see myself stopping
failures not an option, it's like a sick obsession
expecting nothing less than the best performance in recording sessions
my gears are constantly turning yearning for more perfection
Most High, please continue to lead me in your direction
cause I can't do this by myself I need your help
I'm like a wounded healer touching people hoping that I'm felt
cause when I look back over my life, God forbid
I regret the things I didn't do more than the things I did
been rhyming since a kid so when you see in the press
know it took twenty years to make an overnight success
cause when I give my all I still feel I can go harder
I'm on pursuit of happiness just like Chris Gardner
it's nonfiction I be spittin' with conviction
going through the doors cats before me already kicked in
Hook:
It's a passion for success, that burns deep inside me

Verse 2:
I'm blessed and highly favored, I'm fresh and mildly flavored
I good a good taste in beats that are widely savored
I debated going back to school getting more educated
coming into work at 5am I'm not that dedicated
I get agitated, frustrated, aggravated
cause I want my j-o-b to be music related
I'm thankful that I got a gig but even though I hate it
I heard that Puffy never sleeps that's probably how he made it
I got the drive I just need to get up in that lane
cats thats more successful than me I pick their brain
cause a man is what he thinketh, that's what they tell me
you'd rather be rich and wealthy, or poor and healthy
I want some of both, gotta switch my gears up
heard a Dr. King Speech it made me start to tear up
he made me wanna put passion in my rhymes
those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind
Hook:
It's a passion for success, that burns deep inside me
it pushes me, it drives me, it leads me, it guides me

it tirelessly inspires me, look inside my diary
listen close to me you can hear the fire in me
Verse 3:
Please don't try to pump up my head when I rhyme
I'm so humble, put my pants on one leg at a time
I'm trying, to make songs to make you lose control
but at the the same time I write songs to move your soul
yo this music consumes me the love is authentic
I lay down in the sound bed and get lost in it
I wake up the next morning feeling like I'm worthless
just existing not even knowing my purpose
tryna crack the formula and learn the method
applying the attitude times ability and effort
alotta cats just be rappin' for no reason
you gotta make it happen cause action has no season
so when the Most High calls you home
and people read the birth date and death date on your stone
make sure you leave your mark, even in the hereafter
cause the dash in between them dates is all that matters
Hook:
It's a passion for success, that burns deep inside me

The Fall
03:51
|
|||
Verse 1:
Some things happened so long ago, feel like another lifetime
this beat jogged my memory and this came down the pipeline
young love, life was so simple I had no car
I made a hundred bucks a week and stretched that yard out so far
with dinner and a movie, pay my 1-800 beeper bill
staying up all night with no cares and I would sleep until
I felt like waking up, boring and complacent
tryna find manhood while living in my mama basement
it lead to infidelity inevitably I strayed
cause a man will change his women way before he change his ways
and it's too late you realize your mistakes and she ain't feeling
the same and now the pain got you crying like Lenny Williams
I found out the hard way, now I'm just facing it
mad cause I scratched the soundtrack to my relationship
another sad song, cause the finest woman you'll ever see
is your ex when she's on another mans arm
Hook:
you know it when it's going on
it's when the other person's happiness is more important than your own
no more searching
you just one person in the world but you mean the whole world to one person
Verse 2:
I tell you cats don't be rappin' bout love no more
you don't always have to act like a thug homebul
it's ok to open up to a woman if she's worth it
especially she make you feel like your life got a purpose
I had some great women in my life that adored me
who made me feel like that they would leap through fire for me
might sound kinda corny might sound kinda wack
when bills fly in the front door and love fly out the back
gotta understand and seek to be understood
effective communication keeps the loving good
you gotta put your work in
you wanna be American Pimp or be the Last American Virgin
you keep the love alive if not it's gonna be dead soon
a lady in the street a hellcat up in the bedroom
pick your poison I ain't tryna make no sappy song
just letting you know a happy wifey makes a happy home
Hook:
you know it when it's going on
it's when the other person's happiness is more important than your own
no more searching
you just one person in the world but you mean the whole world to one person
Verse 3:
to be brutally honest I used to lay down with the finest
woman you ever seen and took advantage of their kindness
had sex unprotected and, dick got infected
promised never again, but still went back to being reckless
I grew outta that but back then you couldn't tell me nothing
tell'em I'm making love to'em but I ain't even love'em
had a lotta fun but I was on the wrong path
booty text messages, threesomes gone bad
hooking up with mad chicks that's single
at the midweek after work mix and mingle
young homies peepin' game like "Side is my hero"
cause I was loving black women more than Robert Deniro
but then I did the Asian, White, and Puerto Rican thing
african death stroke, forty four chicken wing
sex positions, got promoted to my next position of manhood
I settled down now I'm damn good
Hook:
you know it when it's going on
it's when the other person's happiness is more important than your own
no more searching
you just one person in the world but you mean the whole world to one person

Hook:
I'm tryna be a just man, I'm not perfect and I got flaws
See I might stumble and I might fall
but I'ma still get up
still get up
still get up
Verse 1:
Please forgive me for sounding so serious
but y'all caught me going through a transitional period
I'm changing y'all, I'm repositioning my life
I, went back to school, married my, beautiful wife
and some people ain't support us, and I can't say I feel'em
but for every fake friend I lost I made two real ones
amazing how that work, it was written I ain't choose it
so, it's only natural that it comes out in my music
Stress told me this my Black Album, I said you kidding
now that I listen I find it's really hard to argue with him
cause me and Stress make some everlasting art
when you combine a focused mind with an impassioned heart
yo we come through with shining results standing proud
muddy unshowered, head bloody but unbowed
I'm tryna be a stand up guy so in reality
this music's like a washing machine for my morality
Hook:
I'm tryna be a just man, I'm not perfect and I got flaws
See I might stumble and I might fall
but I'ma still get up
still get up
still get up
Verse 2:
Yo you'll always lose money while chasing after women
but you'll never lose women while chasing after money
that's just a little jewel I felt the need to drop today
so decide for yourself if you want gwop or you want Goapele
but if you sure then I'm 100 behind you homie
don't get divorced and get forced to pay vaginamony
cause you was tryna be a player at 38
and now it's like you're eating your favorite meal off a dirty plate
single women throw it at me like they're pitching
and try to work their magic but you can't trick the magician
you can have kids but I ain't babysitting boo
she said you want the cat dog you gotta take the kittens too
it's a package deal, man her rap was real
you can be a man, step up, handle that, or peel
I ain't expect that I gotta respect that
so as a real man I gotta try to correct that
cause
Hook:
I'm tryna be a just man, I'm not perfect and I got flaws
See I might stumble and I might fall
but I'ma still get up
still get up
still get up
Bridge:
I'm tryna be a just man baby
will I mess up and fall short yeah maybe
but I'ma keep me head up and get up
and when it comes to getting mine I'll never let up
Verse 3:
When I be stuck in the 5 o'clock gridlock
work, school, and family leaves me little time for hip hop
I used to think that all I needed was a funky flow
if so this album couda been done like six months ago
but everything happens for a reason so I stayed biz
pushing Grown Man Grizz through the summer season
It's crazy cause it feel like my schedules getting tighter now
so I try to Jay-Z my rhymes and not write'em down
that game is changing I can contest to that one
the CD's go wood but the ringtones go platinum
I try to pace myself like a horse since I started
and not end up with a Porsche parked in front of an apartment
you hustling backwards ain't the life I wanna lead
where I'm buying what I want but I'm struggling for what I need
see I'm trying to be a mogul, not stuck being local
so I politic with those who are upwardly mobile
Hook:
I'm tryna be a just man, I'm not perfect and I got flaws
See I might stumble and I might fall
but I'ma still get up
still get up
still get up

Verse 1:
I'ma a, rap singer, clever thinker
leave a legacy that will forever linger
twenty years from now this will still be a banger
to wild out, tear the club up, release anger
classic that you find in your friend collection
ghost ride your whip and crash at the intersection
Side been Effecting, spittin' rhymes
ever since the bul Prince wrote 1999
undivided attention, you can have mine
crowd yelling people talking at the same time
I preach to the choir, shoot the messenger
look around the world you'll never nobody fresh as the
S-I, the best try, the rest die
The Bangologist, knowledge this Krush U-N-I
T-Dub in the club like the rose lady
when DJ's put me on the crowd goes crazy
Hook:
Thank God that we made it to another year
champagne pop, ball dropping in Time Square
whether you're single or got a honey
hope you're still getting money in 2020
cause you gonna make it happen this year
are you ready, confetti is flying through the air
make sure your dreams come true for me
and you're still getting money in 2020
Verse 2:
Sometimes I feel like a caveman stuck in the 90's
cause I like my hip hop all gritty and grimy
I can walk you through it, I can't hold your hand
change your style up or sound like a grumpy old man
touch fans hands, from here to Asia
when I do, they scream louder than Fantasia
who are you? Side Effect please respect gangsta
check my catalog when you get the chance to
new jack please don't do me no favors
on crack tracks I'm like Pookie or Gator
turn tour beats up, I need them loud
and like a good DJ I'ma read the crowd
keep dancing until both legs are hurt
put in work, bring in money like a mega church
tough times right now, don't sweat it
today is a gift that's why it's called the present
Hook:
Thank God that we made it to another year
champagne pop, ball dropping in Time Square
whether you're single or got a honey
hope you're still getting money in 2020
cause you gonna make it happen this year
are you ready, confetti is flying through the air
make sure your dreams come true for me
and you're still getting money in 2020
Verse 3:
Yo you wanna roll up with your friends in a Benzo?
think and grow rich like Dennis Kimbro
read a book, got a beat, need a hook?
I supply that, no freestyles, gotta buy that
need a 16, flow so pristine
on my lowest rate maybe I'll negotiate
Les Brown on the mic gotta motivate
inspirational speaker, personal trainer
working out your woofers and tweeters beat banger
change your demeanor, black Akita
dog whisperer I am your pack leader
hot like your block in the 80's crack fever
Side Effect written, one of the best spittin'
Stress believed in me when the rest of y'all didn't
that remains fact, ain't too much gonna change that
2020 on top we gonna claim that
Hook:
Thank God that we made it to another year
champagne pop, ball dropping in Time Square
whether you're single or got a honey
hope you're still getting money in 2020
cause you gonna make it happen this year
are you ready, confetti is flying through the air
make sure your dreams come true for me
and you're still getting money in 2020
