Lift The Game

[Verse 1: XV]

Yeah, curtain close, throw your rose

The night is early, let's make a toast

The sales figures bring smiles to well wishers

Bring frowns to frail niggas, the town is there with ya

The city say remember when radio ain't give Vizzy play?

Now they read the shit I say like I was Earnest Hemingway

Funny how the square that could never really fit it

Got so many people riding, I don't know if they'll all fit in

They tell me move to New York like it's so fatal

Keep your plane ticket, I brought tow cables

I'm so able to prove 'em wrong motherfucker

Cause the kid from Smallville going show all how I'm gonna go and…

[Hook]

Lift this game up and bring it back to where I fucking live

I'mma lift this game up and bring it back to where I fucking live

Cause I'mma be the one that put us on motherfucker

Now get out the park and bring this shit home motherfucker

We on yeah, tell my city we on-we on

[Verse 2: XV]

So I'm banging on a trashcan, drumming on a street light

'Bout time I left here, everything don't seem right

Rocket packs are fully charged, the moon and stars that would be ours

Home is where you find your heart and at this point, I'm up on Mars

Look where we were raised, look what mom was paid

Look at what they gave us and look at what we made

So when it comes to grind, you can't tell me a fucking thing

When I've been making my whole city wait for the day that Imma…

[Hook]

[Verse 3: XV]

No acceptance speeches, I don't really need it

Cause I've never been accepted by the people who seek it

We try to make history with hopes we get to see

The faces of the ones we knew in school that used to teach it

Goodbye to nine-to-fives, hello 24/7's

In your first 15 minutes, you can not waste a second

I came to make my presence, I'm a real rapper

The story of your life, to me it’s just a little chapter

This for the masses who cut classes

Not to sit on their asses but do our homework so we pass it

Kids go to school through more seasons than M*A*S*H did

We just wanna get there, pick the road that's the fastest

We shoot rockets, plug sockets with foreign objects

Go this-a-way and don't participate in trend and topics

It seems like being outside us was our only choice

So I make sure I stay gold, Ponyboy

Trying to be world stars, they push their views on us

But we try to stay away from being what you want us

The streets get hotter than a June Summer

But don't tell me I should move nigga ‘cause Imma-cause Imma…
