Philadelphia

I'll give you
Organix, Illadelph halflife
Hit the L or hash pipe
And give em' hell on that mic
Pass my tipping point, then I hit the joint
Crash like a bad spike from last night
Fast down a halfpipe
And do you want more
It's the eve of this music
You got me keeping it rooted
No time for breaking you off
I'm either the smoothest or the student
Paid attention in class
Keep it moving, never truant
Save the seconds, they last, it's like

Moosh and Twist in this music shit
Gave me a boost, a gift
To see these dudes that spit
From my howetown
Gaining recognition and getting a buzz
And letting me know that my level needs to be ratcheted up
Cuz we gotta do it big for our city, kids
Live out loud, here and now
No type of insidious intentions
We just wanna bang like Chiddy did
Mind your manners or you'll get me maddened
Don't like idiots
Lived in Cheltenham
Then I found out Dicky did, too
And it's like maybe this shit can come true
So I grabbed the mic and I got to rappin
And I rocked through classes,
Taking shots as I pop in the pabst and jazz
And I start to imagine

These Philly roots run deep
May not do Run D
But walk this way
And see this crew on ease
Tryna chase dreams
Following the dude called Meek
A self-made millionaire
Hope that's truth on three, but

Mic check with the one, two's
Rolling down the freeway
Take another blunt cruise
Hope you feel us come through
Meet us if you want to
Asher's at the Barbary
That's where I'm tryna jump to
Or you can see us on the flipside
Roll through at the TLA to save dat money
Dick's live
If ya wanna rip five
J's then we'll get wild
Passing three to Cassidy
We blaze as we dip by
Central High, it don't get no better, bruh
Philly rap renaissance, like Roger Federer
On top of competitors, popular, gettin love
On another level, other words, we're a step above
And yeah we flex and bust, there's been an exodus
From Philly, get down like Gillie
Now I'm steppin up
XXL, hope ya hit a fucking freshman up
Next in a long line, ellipses, et cetera

So now I'm making moves
It's been a long time coming
Yeah I paid the dues
Call this music shit a game
And I hate to lose
Daydreaming with Jill Scott
It can change your views
Giving me positive focus
So I evade the blues
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
For a couple of hours
And a movement shapes
When I decide I wanna be the next dude to break
And get my own interview there with Snoop to say
A couple soft lines, go off rhyme and prove I'm great
I wanna make it to the moon, give me a route to take
Just wanna move and shake
Make beats, write rhymes, and get super baked
Blaze weed, night time, let the music play
And no matter how far I go
I'll never lose the way
