Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let me tell ya first, don't want no heat, don't want no trouble
It's just we have a thirst for the beat and a bubble
Whoa, go and build your ego, we gon' leave you heroes in the rubble
And then we visualize our future in the mirrors of the Hubble
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Chompin' at the bit but biting every word they say
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Put it on repeat, defeated when they speak in the street
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Chompin' at the bit but biting every word they say
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Spin the phrase again, poet say unoriginal sin
[Verse 3]
Ya walk around high steppin' but don't see your feet
And then you're feelin' so high they don't meet the street
To be ready for the winter, got to beat the heat
And to the righteous writer, go and reach the peak
[Verse 4]
And now every person is capable of a miracle
Steerin' across the city creatin' a verbal vehicle
Bein' cool, calm, collected and humble with no hysterical
Rantin' and ravin', pavin' the way
[Verse 5]
'Cause we don't wanna hear no cliche
Chompin' at the bit but biting every word they say
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Put it on repeat, defeated when they speak in the street
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Chompin' at the bit but biting every word they say
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Spin the phrase again, poet say unoriginal sin
[Verse 6]
Workin' together with all our people is imminent
We'll reach the apex on our own, won't be no derivatives
Strivin' and fightin' our way to the top of the mountain
Givin' it everything we have
Can't stay bolted down 'cause they're riveted
[Verse 7]
Limited is not a word we recognize
Great spirit give in and beckon right
Use your third eye and reply with second sight
Realize the power of your words
[Verse 8]
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Chompin' at the bit but biting every word they say
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Put it on repeat, defeated when they speak in the street
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Chompin' at the bit but biting every word they say
Don't wanna hear no cliche
Spin the phrase again, poet say unoriginal sin
