We be them hard head dense dudes, bent with a tense mood
quick to take offense you can't even talk sense to
will rap for food, sell swag to gain access
my black ass barely pass the brown paper bag test
music too dark, dude is too smart, views are too sharp
dog you bark you get Ginsu'd apart
slice you up like Recycle if you don't know the program
I don't need no Reasons, Earth Wind and Fire slow jam
none of that I come to rap it's dead up in here
tell the engineer to pump the bass, wet up the snare
I don't care what the rest do, I don't even try to
all I know, is, I'm the best at what I do
labels try to sign who? mess and invest with me
y'all do this for the love, I do this out of necessity
yes I'm putting records out during a recession
guess I learned the hard way, a best lessons a bought lesson
got that from my parents, laughed at them as a kid
now I'm grown I listen to the same music that they did
ain't it crazy? if the the track is hard, like David Axelrod
Happ will jack a bar, add a boom boom crack and all
Side'll write to it me peers read it and gave me credit
I take pride in it like a movement I spearheaded
I fine connoisseur of bad English
but when I spit it on a beat, gotdamn it sounds so distinguished
a Doctorate in rockin' it, Associates in dope as shit
they talk shit about me, I don't even notice it
focus on my showmanship, maintain and climb
I can't be big and small at the same time
get your money little backpacker bul, I gets mine
Rappers say I'm on my grind, this is a movement
I'm in the building, I'm like, fuck the bullshit
spit your rhyme dog it ain't that serious
and when you did I said you can't be serious
See I done heard it and seen it, been quiet cause it's convenient
I admit with these dudes I'm a little too lenient
benefit of the doubt, blame it on naivety
but when they open they mouth, they serious as Steady B
and got the nerve to try and diss and embarrass us
they stink like my piss when I ate too much asparagus
hilarious I laugh at any wack challenger
a bunch of fruits getting smashed by black Gallagher
hip hop is dead they claim to be the respiration
but they begging for a deal and I can hear your desperation
asking me to ask Happ G to holla at you
to put that garbage out he wouldn't throw a dollar at you
Rappers say I'm on my grind, this is a movement
I'm in the building, I'm like, fuck the bullshit
spit your rhyme dog it ain't that serious
and when you did I said you can't be serious
Rappers say I'm on my grind, this is a movement
I'm in the building, I'm like, fuck the bullshit
just rap dog it ain't that serious
and when you did I said you can't be serious
I listen to a beat for weeks at times 'fore that first line come to me
but when that muphuka do dog, you don't want none of me
am I slept on? you can say that, no doubt yeah
it's all relative, you get back what you put out there
I do this all year, you a summer time rapper
rap some the time, seasonal, your fan base is regional
I'm international with all across the world friends
nobody know you 'cept your homies and your girlfriends
your rhymes are torture just like dripping water
I give your ass the business, online or brick and mortar
quality or quantity. depend on what you want
told homie if you buy the best, you'll only cry once
Rappers say I'm on my grind, this is a movement
I'm in the building, I'm like, fuck the bullshit
spit your rhyme dog it ain't that serious
and when you did I said you can't be serious
Rappers say I'm on my grind, this is a movement
I'm in the building, I'm like, fuck the bullshit
just rap dog it ain't that serious
and when you did I said you can't be serious
