Been basking in the rays
Now they’re all dried up
Burnt up, broken down
Couldn’t change, stuck in a rut
We mix it up with one touch
Now everything’s illuminated
No way to change the fact
There’s no way back
MC stuck baited
Uncreative rhymes basic
Weak hooks and lines replaced it
Came up with something fresh
Hip hop don’t need another facelift
No matter what you got to take it
On the fact that time spent wasted
Could’ve shined light on the few
That could have brought change around and made it
How it could’ve been, we make it now
Make connections, move the crowd
It’s hand to hand
And town to town
Back in the van
We get around
To all the heads that held it down
Laid foundations
Stood their ground
Went toe for toe
And pound for pound
We watched them rise then back down
Disappeared without a sound
The renowned profound remains unbound
Each verse astounds
Contest the crown
Don’t make a sound
Contempt of court
The punch-line snapped
The jester walked
Lighten up, get serious
The time is now, look at what we bought
It’s built to last
Just like the sand inside the hour glass
We’re passing through
But we’ll be back
Each turn, we burn another track
The code’s been cracked
Reveal the gaps
Sit back and watch it all collapse
Rebuild from the underground
That’s where the strong foundation’s at
So take note
All you turncoats and scapegoats
Demote all the rhymes that revolve around the bank note
We’re no joke
We leave you open off of one quote
Not with shots and gun smoke
But flows that come with sun stroke
Cover up no time
Just reveal what was given
They say it’s just mileage
No safe place to stay hidden
Take the long way round mate
Sometimes that’s just living
You can make your own way
They might not share the vision
