Told myself fuck a job I’ll build a mob, was running with them sinister niggas, niggas who robbed, picked up a pen like it I’ll write a log,
writing down hardships, smoking on car trips, wavey by the bar sit dolo thinking back on how i got here,
playing illmatic knew that one day I’d be top tier, back at the open mics we barley even got cheers, now promoters running in they be asking if I’m good
Ain’t never needed much if it’s not already understood, more merch getting shipped threw them shits in the duffle, every time I hit NY it brings back my hustle,
Cuz the world won’t wait and the money don’t sleep, we applying all the hurt, that’s more money off a verse still on my first shoe box all crazy how I do pot
Its like the water rise up but it do stop
Said the rain won’t stop if the sun don’t shine
(the water rise up but it do stop)
Patience a virtue ima take my time
(the water rise up but it do stop)
Even told u back then ima make u mine
(the water rise up but it do stop)
We been in it too long they can take my shine
Wah wah wah wah
Lukewarm when they shit makes it way down, might not see it leave cuz he still grip they trey-pound, left the block chasing snow bunnies like a grey hound, not a fan cuz ur still coming with the same sound
leave me alone I can’t cope too many people wanna link up, that’s another show but I ain’t even gonna drink up, weed like oxygen the room always stink up, few extra syllables it really make em think up

I know I'm a bit late to the game, but I discovered this project earlier this year in January. I was a bit hesitant to check it out at first, due to the album cover picture, title, and bizarre band name. But I'm really glad I did. There isn't a dull moment on this whole thing, and there's something to chew on in each lyric spat. I don't regret checking these guys out. They've opened my mind up to a whole new world of art, music, and Hip-Hop that I was only somewhat aware of existed previously iativos
