Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Free a **** mind, free a **** dome
Freedom is a line, even if it's long
Keep it on the stones
Pocket full of (Uh)
Rocket full of (Uh)
I'm cold, **** freeze like I'm 'bout to stick 'em up
[Verse 2]
I'm particular about my vernacular
I'm not particular 'bout what I got off in this cup
This section, man, they hate us, man, they say we not enough
Uh huh, started from the bottom now we up, up, up, up
Turn a **** up, up
Why you tryna buck up?
Photoshop hustler, picture gettin' touched up
[Verse 3]
I'm a constructor of tearin' down structure
They wanna cuff us, really it's just us
That's why kick dust up
Noreaga, what? What?
Like Jigga ****, what? What?
Who? Who? Don't care about what other crews do
I cruise through, crucial
Black like voodoo, a guru of the new, new
[Verse 4]
They waitin' on you to come outside
Just so they can downplay your life
But I'm never scared, I'm never scared
Can't move me and I've been there
[Verse 5]
Na, na, na, na, now ****, now free your mind
We keep e-e-e-erupting time
Cut us, we gon' bleed up divine
Turnin' that up, we up and wine
We on the grind
Grinding, designing
Like Virgil Abloh, we shining
We move mountains while climbing
[Verse 6]
I'm into fine things, like dining with fine things
My dreams found wings on the back of the struggle
Pull a back muscle, back to the hustle
Rap for the duffle and the black couples
That lay troubles down and let love do its diligence
I'm militant for villages, the villainous, they pillage us
But will it with the will in us?
[Verse 7]
They waitin' on you to come outside
Just so they can downplay your life
But I'm never scared, I'm never scared
Can't move me and I've been there
[Verse 8]
Ghost of the past, telling me to blast
Telling me to fast, telling me to "Go whoop a **** ass"
Vast is the task that grasp the mask castle
Over the mass that dash for cash the last fast
Slow down, we can hold down
The fort of profound thoughts that go round
The world is your town, it's my town
It's the new wave, we on high ground, come on
