Give It Up

Last man standing, he can tilt that crown
From out the kettle, we was raised up on them dangerous grounds
Ain’t no quitters over here—it's only champion sound
Going through flashbacks, watch ‘em when they flash gats. I be
Seeing loud pack traces and the swishers on the pavement
Proof is a reflection of your current situation
Giving ‘em warfare. Internal promotes confrontation
WorldStar scholars, no regards for the karma
It’s survival of the largest chromosome—pick a sponsor
The end result is death and, in between, there is no honor, boy
Give it up. Told ‘em we was coming for their products
Put a buckle on their plans. Now they’re supplying demand
Go and stack that, flip that. Political kickbacks
Cash rules everything. Gladys Knight, Billie Jean
If she want designer, then she gotta play the city scene
Material diamond lifestyles of a ghetto queen
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
I’m from the same era where terror was relevant, before you even
Thought of your reflection as the president. A resident
Of Princeton Park, where you swallow your ambition
When they claim they’re speaking gospel, niggas rambling in fiction
That’s where I lost my innocence. Never was I ignorant
To shotgun splatters that’ll make the crowd scatter
Pumpkin heads on a platter, fieldtrips on the 9
Will put some pepper in your pace and maybe straighten your spine
Never scary, scary. A lil' dude, I used to carry, carry
Never talk about it, kept it smooth, keep it customary
Galaxie, you know me from the bottom. I’m Tutan-
-khamen cousin, blacker than the oven, rebel from the dungeon
That’s real out the box—no commercial appeal
We’re underground, we ain’t gotta hide behind no shields
Collect props and skirts and knowledge and perks and
Percussion. I got an appetite for destruction, boy
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
