Square One

[Intro] [Blueprint Speaking]

In there. Beats are so ridiculous

I don't know why cats think they can fuck with this

Ah huh. Greenhouse. Take you back to the beginning

Ah huh, like this

[Verse One] [Blueprint]

First of all get off my dick

Ain't nobody give me shit

Hard work, we deserve everything we get

Back

When you was dreamin' about rhyming

I was grinding

Sellin' Greenhouse tapes in Columbus

You got ten dollars then holler at me

So I can hop this Greyhound bus back to the 'Natti

We used to rock shows in Dayton with Bahdaddy

And if we made our gas money back then I were happy

It was me, Ill, Inkwell & Manifest

This was before I started buildin' with Plead The Ph5th

Before Soul Position, Orphanage or The Iskabbibles

Back when everything about hip hop was simple

I would buy fifty blank tapes

Dub 'em at home

Print the inserts on my PC

Sell 'em at shows

I didn't want to hold the money so I gave it to Ill

But that had to stop when he said he spent it on bills

See hip hop, was still a hobby I did on the side

And since it never made me a dime, I still had a job

And collaborated only for the love of the music

Not because I wanted big names to move units

Holdin' your own is part of being a man

Don't even ask until you've done everything that you can

Even though there were a lot of times I needed a hand

I still held it down to elevate me and my fam

Like

[Manifest talking]

That's right man. We did it ourselves man

Cats ain't ready for that man

Cats ain't got the juice in they veins. Continue

[Verse Two] [Blueprint]

Uh huh

I used to hop on any stage

Play for free

Now I only do that for fam related to me

I got a higher learning

Paid with it degree

Realized a desk job ain't made for me

I'd rather be doin' shows gettin' paid to MC

I'm a first generation Weightless MC

Started out slangin' tapes

Made some cream

When nobody else was thinkin' that way but me

Took a bunch of individuals

Made a team

I helped acts come up but they ain't thankin' me

I seen shit I gave birth to get twisted up

Cats flip shit up

Like they build shit up

It made me wanna walk away from this and give this up

But then Manifest said, "Print, stick with us"

So I did and made calls that probably cost me friendships

But if I didn't, I would have lost this business

I know my people smart enough to know the difference

And not wanna beef over this when they hear this

So many dreams cross paths cause we rhyme

I had blinders on

I saw nothin' but mine

And any move I made wasn't cause I wanted to shine

Because the way we were both headed, wasn't in line

And I love y'all

But sometimes it's hard to express it

And it comes off lookin' like I'm being hard headed

We could have worked it out but our pride wouldn't let us

Now we gotta chalk up another life lesson

[Outro] [Manifest talking]

That's right. We learned from that

And all it did was make us stronger

Now we unstoppable man. Shit. It's Weightless. Ha. Greenhouse
