[Intro: Joey BADA$$]
Yeah, mic check uh
(Whoo!) Before the money, before the money hungry, yeah
1-20, check it out check it out yo
[Verse 1]
The ridges under my soul is full of shit, kinda like the gist of everything from most of y'all lips
You see, the cash on the other side's greener, but nowadays I feel like I gotta walk with a nina
Cause the streets got meaner, preachers got mad nice and my cousin just passed like it just swerve in any matter
Seconds minutes and hours, no to time to question thе power, cause any blink'll demolish your currеnt - is this the saga?
So I'm honored to be here today - the world is ours, we should celebrate in every way
Spread the knowledge to the youth, they tell it when we lay
Six feet, I'm six feet, standin' on my own two, and my own shoulders, it's that deep
Shift it to max beats, when I put my ego right into the back seat flowin' down my veins, runnin' tracks like a athlete
It's insane, apex rap-thletics leave 'em gassed with the aesthetics
[Intermission: Joey BADA$$]
Yeah, one-two, one-and-two, what it is? Comin' live with the kid
Yo, shout-out to my man Rosenberg, my homie down for a minute, yo check it out uh
[Verse 2]
I'm from the broke land, you can get smoked and...
New York lineage with the new ports hittin'
Breakin' new support, better hide yo childrens too, another ape loose from the Brooklyn Zoo
So watch the pigs in the blue, the jays got word from the same fake snakes that bit you too
So get loose when they peep the pump they gettin' goosebumps, it's duck season leave your roosters slump
Early in the mornin' put the wormy in the mouth, I'm from the north, but I'll make your pidgeons visit south
Back to this cheese, no time for cat-and-mouse, I trapped a spouse I'm headin' out and I'm spazzin' out...
[Intermission: Joey BADA$$, Peter Rosenberg]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
(Joey Badass)
They can take nothing from me y'all
Yeah, before the money, aight
