Down to the Wire

[Intro: Pressure]
Ay, wassup? This is mister Pressure from the almighty Hilltop Hoods. I’m here with my man big Purpose, all up in your eardrum with his latest joint, If The City Had A Voice Part Five

[Verse 1: Purpose]
Polaroid photo of a beautiful beach
Cubicle dreams of the trap, eyes glued to their screen
You workin’ long nights all night so you can succeed
But I make sure none of that cross your mind when you here with me
We grindin’ all night, turnin’ up with you and your team
Grindin’ all night, this is what we do in between
Yeah, we got [?] breaker, I dunno if you know ‘bout me
Yeah, I said [?] breaker, we goin’ track five, City three (Whoo)
I do it, so lеts be straight (Be straight with me), yеah, let’s be straight (Be straight)
Every now and again I you come across somethin’ so real it make everything else seem fake (Whoo)
Had to figure out alone how to bring this shit back home
Now I’m really in my zone, in my zone
Might throw my dog on a single just to bring him on a road
So we could get lit and I could bring him out to shows
Yeah, pay attention, this my favourite part
This is where they doubt me and I break their heart
The last frames ‘fore I change your guard
I crank the 808s so hard they tear the place apart
Went around the world and put my truth down
Grew a little, you can hear it in the booth now
No more sneakers, I’m rockin’ boots now
Everybody frontin’, but I guess I got the juice now
If you ain’t got no stripes you ain’t ever felt (Nope)
Shit, if you ain’t had no fights you don’t get the belt (Nope)
Forget it, I get it, you wanna rep yourself (I get it)
Just don’t go missin’ tryna make your presence felt (Haha)
Me? I’m on a dream run then a rerun (Yup)
I don’t wanna do nothin’ that’s been done
Ambitious, I’d rather write a book then read one
Dual, consider that a favour till I need one
Purps, I’m an open book without a writer (Without a writer)
Yeah, somethin’ like the perfect blunt without a lighter (You got a lighter?)
Yeah, can’t hold a note but I’m a singer (Dum dum da da dum dum)
Never lose but I mean how do you define a winner? Let’s go

[Chorus: Purpose]
‘Cause I’m a little bit of older, (Whoop) a little bit wiser (Whoop)
A little bit colder, but still in the fire (Ay)
A little more cultured, (Ay) a little less blinded
This one’s goin’ down to the wire, ay (Ay)
Down to the wire
The buildin’ burn down and I walk out like MacGyver, ay
This one’s goin’ down to the wire
Let’s go

[Verse 2: Purpose]
Could spot a government plate from two suburbs away, (There they go) ay
But if they pull me over, man it’s over, what can I say? (Look, I’m really sorry, man) Ay
Rap music feel a like a whole lotta nothin’ these days (Why lie?), but I’m not fussin’ these days
‘Cause the whole world could be over soon if Trump has his way (Shit)
Don’t push the button, okay? Shit
When I’m done number eighty three gon’ represent my freedom (Freedom)
Everybody say they on it but I never really see ‘em (See ‘em)
Everybody say they want it but I don’t really believe ‘em (I don’t believe ‘em)
Plus everybody crossed me, so I’m gettin’ even (Fuck ‘em)
Batman returns, (Yes) rap fans will surge
To the front when it dumps, and rap the words
Till the cap five track crack the earth
And the backhanded verse, your man’s to work to the wire (To the)
To the wire, (Ay) let’s go (Let’s go)

[Chorus: Purpose]
‘Cause I’m a little bit of older, (Whoop) a little bit wiser (Whoop)
A little bit colder, but still in the fire (Ay)
A little more cultured, (Ay) a little less blinded
This one’s goin’ down to the wire, ay (Ay)
Down to the wire
The buildin’ burn down and I walk out like MacGyver, ay
This one’s goin’ down to the wire

[Outro: Purpose]
Down to the wire
Down to the wire
Down to the wire
Down to the wire
