Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love of self I possess, through life to death
Yigga y'all listen, it's the up front fresh
My level is seldom seen, few and far between
Them fools, they couldn't douse my keen
[Verse 2]
Lean to the mean, thoroughbred, pickyhead
Strapped in a bass, trap down I get
Sunset to sunset, we don't sweat yet
Cool, we don't fret while the dubs dem hold me
[Verse 3]
I'm picky with precision, I made my decision now
Now death itself can't hold us down
'Cause the seeds of progress, them done get sow
My tuff back, broke the cane in four
[Verse 4]
Face flat to the floor, but I found the strength
To commence with a brand new sense of self
Eurozulu coming through
Tokyo train style, hipper to the coup
[Verse 5]
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
[Verse 6]
None of them'll question my rebel-like reflex
But I won't waste my breath, I'll let actions speak
Although this feat stands taller than the peak of Everest
I visualize embrace the progress
[Verse 7]
Chin high, puffed chest, I step right to it
The choice is there is no choice but to pursue it
Soul on the mind, mind on the soul
My struggle remains, but my insight grows
[Verse 8]
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Against the grain, we shall remain
Yeah, steaming on
[Verse 9]
Gain enough girth, gain enough ground
Movement tight, planet white flight
Inner sight set to step to the height
Left of the field now looking good
[Verse 10]
Wed to this wayward bounce
Proud to renounce
I'm steadfast, stuck in my way
I heed not no hearsay
I put my trust in my own perceptions
Of knowledge and self
[Verse 11]
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get up
(Down like dirt man, we dusted)
Get yourself into harder
Get up
[Verse 12]
The power of the inner eye
Met the strength of weed
Groove, world, birth to the next realm
[Verse 13]
Motion splendid, it bring quality
Now my foresight sees with 'nough clarity
Motion splendid, it bring quality
Now my foresight sees with 'nough clarity
