[Intro]
Statik Selektah on the beat
Let's go!
[Verse: Jet 2]
I won't stop 'til I'm on the Marquee like
Dorsey lights
In the front of the school by the green light
On Farmdale, and my arms held
High like champion in boxing ring
I can't sing, but I stop to sing like, "haaah"
You'll be successful mocking me
And maybe you can be a king like Rodney
Or queen like Elizabeth on a balcony
And to talk of my DDP niggas
I push 'em to the top like balcony
You could balcony me
I see life from a distance like binoculars see
And I transform mines like Optimus P
So just stall me out
For optimum performance, you must recall
Everything I record
And no I ain't the best, I just love all of y'all
So thank you, thank you, thank you
Y'all dеserve an applause
I camе from the bottom of the bottom to decide
That the bottom was all the way at the top of the walls
If you follow me close, you might grow; get taller
You might slip up and get lost in them walls
While they was playin' positions, I was playin' my defense
And I stayed in the game until they threw an interception
And I caught it, ran it back, ran into an intersection
And got parallel with those who were against him
Back on defenses, now they're all defenseless
And I'm on the fence, but with me is where my friends is
Used to be chillin' at the crib, now cities are different
And all them different cities is where all of my friends is
For instance
I love every single individual that took the time to listen
Came from the dirt, worked hard until I glistened
With no ice on my tea like Lipton
But only a Springfield like the Simpsons
I'm in a land where I live with no vengeance
Only love for one another in defense against hatred
Stick to that, and we all gon' make it
Come together and we will never break, ain't that crazy glue?
Puzzles me, it amazes you
I live in a land where imagination takes me through
Just so I can pave the way for you
And I love everybody that I do this for
We keep it movin'; even if we movin' slow
We movin'
I didn't stutter like Ruben, so
I'ma shine like the sun; uno momento
And I got love for all of you kinfolk
'Cause I be thinkin' on the run like two temples
And I'm morally meditated, I'm thoroughly educated
I'm orally emulated, rhetorically decorated
I'm so that boy that came from nothin' to somethin'
They said, "you ain't shit," so I had to plunge it
Now I'm standin' on top of a summit with a lil' somethin'
Words bumpin'
Lyrically, I'm holdin' down my city, and see shit
My whole city's full of lyricist'
Just think of me as their assistant
I am a lyrical therapist
Jay taught me to switch the flow; I'm just tryin' shit
And now, I'm on the Marquee like hypertext
And I be jumpin' 'fore I rap, I be hyper and shit
They don't feel them other rappers like Vicodin pills
I'm micin' the skills that I never write, but I feel
I'm writin' while I record it, red light it for real
I'm paintin' vivid pictures, 'cause my vision is vivid
Jet 2, I'm only second when I'm livin' in minutes, uh
Feelin' like I'm walkin' through a chemistry lab
I smile, 'cause it's always harder to pretend to be sad
In that case, there is no reason to be mad
I tell her, "throw it in the bag," 'cause I got Glad
I been through a whole lot, but in the end we all make it
Brighter for our children; there's a brighter day, kid
So I treat every single night with daycare
And hope for the best until they hear
And so I treat every night with daycare
And hope for the best until they're here
I said, I treat every night with daycare
And hope for the best until they hear me speakin'
2, Jet 2
