Lyrics

2012

"It's 82"

"Set it off"

"It's 82"

"Set it off right there"

[Verse One]:

I'm Gandhi

Smoking the Penn & Teller with Mandela

I'm Leonidas, freedom fighting till they indite us

The heart of Jesus, with the strength of an army

Jakes wanna harm me, cause I play it calmly

Stack money on the low like Kareem Biggs

With a mean crib

Cause I dream big

Machine guns and they only one call away

They make you lean back, and do the rockaway

Polo everything, rose gold, heavy bling

Fast forward brah, four hoes no wedding ring

Now I'm at the top of my game, I want the better things

Low low Chevy swings, cold coke Median

Throw coke on a bitch and let another one

Sniff it off her body until her entire head is numb

Two thumbs up to the creators of hip hop

We just trying to keep it alive so let this shit rock

[Scratch Hook]:

"It's 82"

"Making it to the top"

"This whole shit once started in Law Town"

"Me and Stat, world renown"

"I'm a real Show Off"

"Can y'all feel that?"

"This whole shit once started in Law Town"

[Verse Two]:

It's the God, G.O.D

King-ology

Neo, I'm the one

A prophecy of philosophy

I stand outside of the White House with white signs

And some black guns and some white lines

I try to be political in what I kick to you

Shit is a ritual for me to be an individual

The drunken buddah'd, sour smoking champ, undisputed

Amps bumps the music

Till the fans lose it

I was raised by alcoholics and maniacs

Crazy cats, serving little kids and pregnant ladies crack

I rhyme from the soul

I'm a poet slash brainiac

Hate on that

Put you in black like a Raider's cap

It's young Ology, fresh from Italy

Trip financed by my best ability

Flash, Herc, Busy Bee

Hip hop history

Sorry, but I can't fit no burner in no skinny jeans

I'm from the city where there's gritty fiends

Bitty's be like Billy Jean

Dip my blunt in Hennessy and sip it lean

It's just Statik and me, the best duo out

1982 to 2012
