Full Circle (Showoff Crew)

[Intro: Termanology, Harley Harl & Statik Selektah]

Round Trip

2008 (Long time coming, ain't it?)

Full circle (Statik Selektah)

Round and round, round we go

"Round Trip", c'mon (Showoff!)

[Verse 1: Termanology & Statik Selektah]

One upon a time not long ago

There was some kids for Mass that just wanted to flow

We would break dance, DJ and MC

Now I'm showing my age (We started back in the 90s)

When the rappin was grimy and the beats was raw

Linoleum on the floor and graffiti on the wall

Fast forward now and we all got catalog

And been around the world doin shows and tours

Put our city on the map and we opened the doors

For the next generation, made it easy for y'all

So much changed, we all got kids and cribs

Grew up poor but made sure our children never did

Showoff vs. everybody, legendary parties

Ladies in lingerie, we puffin the Bob Marley

Tore it down with my brothers from the stage to the booth

Hip-hop, you the life of my life and that's true

[Verse 2: Reks]

Yeah, words limited, blurred images, sure to reminisce the urge

When this here track finished, it's time served

Sentences benefited from what I observed

Pure proof in the hangover, pain over

Nerve of us, beefin in the elevator, tryna separate us

Still emotion be a part of our greatness

Please concur, Grim Creeper talk, keep a pole for the law

Hardcore recording in the BX, me and T blessed

And the rest is history, drink champs 'fore the podcast

Symmetry, may our past remind y'all

Chemistry is born in the cypher, a cypher is a circle

A circle full when it’s universal

Keep showin off

[Verse 3: JFK]

Let's journey back to all the pain, all the hurt inside

If you had a verse, had to be the first in line

Showoff basement, we was all servin time

Boston to NY, it was worth the ride

Eyes in my rearview, we made classics

Music was never off, we was awake rappin

Up late, 2008, we stay craftin

Head pounding, full circle, like an aspirin

Nowadays, the facts is this

After sixteen years, we’ll be rappin my bid

There’ll be no "spell my name right", no stick to the script

Showoff is the label, round trip

[Verse 4: Ea$y Money]

One love, my brother Statik, God bless your heart

My somewhat rap career, you an integral part

Gave me your platform so I could spread my art

Fuck what they heard, it's Showoff til death do us part

From hundreds at shows, getting drunk with my bros

We in that basement going dumb with the flows

Beats from Premier, even 9th Wonder, I owe to my brother for sure

To wild times where we was almost comin to blows

Fuck it, it’s under the rug

Take the good with the bad, the bad get trumped by the love

Fill a glass, raising up for my bruv, Reks, JFK, Term too

We had to bring it full circle

[Refrain]

Round and round, round we go

Full, full, full, full circle

Round and round, round we go

I’m showing off with Statik (Full circle)

All I got left in the end is my b–best friends

And we all goin' out (Full, full circle)

Round and round, round we go

I’m showing off with Statik (Full circle)

[Interlude: DJ Premier]

You showing off? I'm showing off

This is DJ Premier

And Showoff Records is all real (Real, real, real, real)

[Bridge]

Grim Creepers! (Let’s creep)

What do you do?

I just go from place to place and, do what I do best

What’s that? (Sh-Sh-Show off)

There is not a cause for alarm

(They, uh, many of the things that

What we said where one-hundred percent correct)

I am officially declaring a national emergency

[Outro: Harley Harl]

It's okay (Go 'head, I see you)

Everyone's okay (okay, uhh, Statik Selektah)

It's okay (it will be okay)

Everyone's okay ("Round Trip")

It's okay (It's not okay, oh)

It's okay (Okay)

It's okay

Everyone's o-okay ("Round Trip")

It's okay
