2011

[Verse 1: Mick Jenkins]

Yeah, went to school in Alabama, met free nation

Had the California on me, I think higher education, a sensation

Chicago in my body, though, just for your information

I don't get how y'all see flattery in imitation

I'm something they can't copy, though

Started with the poetry, I just wanted to be popular

And then I got the hoes on me, but that really ain't spark nothing

Then I got some flow in me, and then I threw some art in there

Then I put a thousand hours in, then ten thousand hours in

Fifty thousand hours in, it was dark in there

Always thought that poppin' shit to niggas you ain't know is foolish, like

You don't talk that Kobe System shit, you just go do it right

Busy playin' all the angles, still think we congruent, how?

Niggas booed him, wow, niggas cut his time, niggas threw him out

Valet boutique parley, then the niggas missin' classes, now

I'm rappin' and my shorty with me plottin' on a master's

I'm like, "Damn"

[Chorus: Venna]

Feet, don't fail me now

Feet, don't fail me now

Did ten thousand hours, feet, don't fail me now

Feet, don't fail me now

Now, now, now, now

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]

It was 2014 before The Waters broke

Was pregnant with ideas, callin' audibles, I didn't have my

Focus down, all a nigga knew was we had ultra sounds

Couldn't see it clearly, we had hope around and maybe

Too much smoke was rollin' back to back, no questions why it's hazy

I was stressin', I was everything but lazy, plenty wrinkles would get ironed out

We was only wrong about the timing like the Mayans, nigga

Clearly we not dyin' out, these ain't bars we buyin' out

Niggas sippin' spirits, niggas vaxin' mine, niggas disappearin'

Fifteen seconds on the 'net with no connection

Now you timin' out, climbed up out a barrel full of crab

Feel like everybody rap, can't give everybody dap

No new affiliates, everybody with me know that low-key, shit is serious

Only way you hearin' it is baritone

Catch me out in traffic with my bitch

She got her master's, gotta buy my masters back

Ain't that some shit, my nigga? Damn

[Chorus: Venna]

Feet, don't fail me now

Feet, don't fail me now

Did ten thousand hours, feet, don't fail me now

Feet, don't fail me now

Now, now, now, now
