[Intro: The Alchemist]
Uh, uh
Yeah, yeah
Most definitely
[Verse 1: The Alchemist]
Every day's a celebration moment
Throwing paper out with dead man's faces on 'em
27XL cloak looking spacious on 'em
I see your words on the sheet, then rub erasers on 'em
Get that shit outta here
Stand on the one spot at the Grand Prix
Telepath, I cook a beat up with my hands free
I put my mind over material (Yup)
Adjust the tuner and try to find me on your stereo, uh
The signal's flickering, it's out of reach
Stop talking under your breath, use louder speech (Speak up)
Was oncе a student, my job is now to teach (Uh)
My son is digging seashеlls from out of beach
Life is precious, make the moments last (Yup)
Capture memories, make 'em frozen in a photograph
Holding the line put a lot of weight on my shoulder pads
Accepting too many connections made the modem crash
Humble slices of pie for the nice guy
Down on my luck, l'm going any way that the dice fly
Corner the market on product and make the price high (Up)
Double-dip the chicken strip and let it twice fry
These are not the numbers from the last discussion
The option is one is a six, the other's half a dozen
If I locate a discrepancy, it gets handled quick
They pitch you on percentage splits, you getting half of nothing
[Chorus: Havoc & The Alchemist]
Heavy is the head to wear that crown, I want it now (Yeah)
The lifestyle, the vows that I swore to hold it down (Down)
Not talkin' about then, but who control it now? (Now)
Tuned out all the noise 'cause some of y'all is wild
Heavy is the head to wear that crown, I want it now (Now)
The lifestyle, the vows that I swore to hold it down (Down)
Not talkin' about then, but who control it now? (Who?)
Tuned out all the noise 'cause some of y'all is wild
[Verse 2: Hit-Boy]
Life and times of mine (Times of mine), on the grind
Quick as l attach (I attach), I detach (Gone)
No, we can't rehash, no rematch, no get-back (No get-back)
They say it's difficult to wait but worse to regret (Wait it out)
Did my struggles change my life for the better? Yes (Yes)
Shorty on me tryna overcome her pettiness (Too petty)
Ready to post the boy (Post the boy) for her nigga to see (See)
Kapital on my jeans, I'm a capital G (G)
Hug the track, do it with firmness, I get sturdy, they get nervous
Peep the rearview, know I'm lurking, watch every corner you be turning
Serious business, we not even smirking (No smiles at all, none)
Sent me a selfie, I had to curve it, it wasn't worth it
Wipe 'em out, them boys washed, Tide detergent
Going thirty, I ain't perfect
Wave god, I'm good at surfing
Me and 1da had the best Verzuz (We really should get a check though)
I'll carry the burden, walked on this MJ, Prince, Usher, and Chris
Pushed this shit over the limit
From the beginning, It's hard to admit it, but I been the one
Soaked up game, I been a sponge
Told me water ain't thicker than blood
Strangers always showing more love (More love)
Enemies drag my name through mud (Through mud)
Homie, I came from dirt, just left Juneteenth in Leimert
Drown in Henny, escape the hurt
You gotta see what I do with the pain (You gotta see it live in action, it's too real)
You can hear what I do with the pain (Alchemist on the beat, bitch)
[Chorus: Havoc]
Heavy is the head that wear that crown, I want it now
The lifestyle, the vows that I swore to hold it down
Not talkin' about then, but who control it now?
Tuned out all the noise 'cause some of y'all is wild
Heavy is the head that wear that crown, I want it now
The lifestyle, the vows that I swore to hold it down
Not talkin' about then, but who control it now?
Tuned out all the noise 'cause some of y'all is wild
[Outro: The Alchemist]
Most definitely
