lyrics
[Intro]
-A lot of people thinking that we live in huts!
-Ignorance is exactly where that theory trickled from,
-But sers charge, I ain't trippin' bruh...
-Down to earth but once in a while I live it up!
[Bridge]
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooooooh
Na-na-na-na-na
(x2)
[Verse #1]
-I'm on a white rooftop watching all these planes fly by me,
-Unbelieveable dreams to reach, double dog dare to try and stop me,
-CCV, I know you got me, DIE, I know you got me!
-Keep my pinkies high (to the sky); ‘cause hope that soon that's where you'll find me,
-Probably vibing, to music proving everybody,
-Right if you saw greatness inside me, wrong if you ever doubt me
-Elevated, they hella hatin', I'm ever waiting
-On niggas who claim they're stellar but never clever or better, yet they celebrating?
-While they wasting time, we knocking ‘em down to Satan's,
-Level, ‘cause we boiling underground, tired of staying stationed,
-Acting complex, but yo raps been basic,
-No complaining I'll backhand their asses back to basics,
-But they complacent with gravitational pull;
-They fools, never gave reality retaliation,
-I'm chasing, my dreams and aspirations,
-No matter how unlikely, I need emancipation,
-I'm just slaying, with these words that I'm just saying.
-Don't need artillery, y'all ain't killin' me, rapid fire, I'm AK-ing,
-Leave you self-proposed Cassius bastards Clay Aiken/aching,
-’Cause most of y'all flapping your gums too much, but y'all ain't sayin'...
-Absolutely nothing, bottle of Absolut, with my "coupe d'etat" and then we coming,
-For your spot, polkadot, why you running,
-Your mouth, but keep quiet when we function?
-Your bars got no backbone, so stop frontin'.
-You ain't going awol, we do not see you; no Adolf,
-I don't hate y'all, but don't quit your day job!
-Somebody gotta be Ray J, in order for me to go Ye far,
-So for your wack shit, I sincerely thank y'all!
[Hook]
-‘Cause this is for you, and this is for your crew,
-Inviting you on this roof, now what you gonna choose?
-‘Cause this for you, and this is for your crew,
-Inviting you on this roof, now what you gonna choose?
-’Cause this for you, and this is for your crew,
-Inviting you on this roof, now what you gon' choose…
-To do, ya fool?
-Ch-choose to do, ya fool?
-Ch-choose...
[Verse #2]
-They talk about my island not having talent,
-I'm living proof why that theory should be banished
-We had radio stations been on lock!
-I got the Power, they like my Vibe, I make Magic, and I'm been this Hott!
-So of you ain't got us in your MIX? 106 will!
-Rockin' crowds on stage cause my page stained with pen spill!
-Home body, tryna body my home.
-Write so much, almost proud of my wrongs, bellybutton; outie, I'm gone... (Peace!)
[Bridge]
[Outro]
I just wanna know, hey,
Now baby are you down to roll?
I just wanna know
Are you down to roll?
Are you down to roll?
