lyrics

B: We back, we back, tell the whole world that we back. Grew up across the globe, now my whole fam on the map. Pray for the troops in Flint.  pray for the troops in Chiraq. Our generation is missin a voice, we on da way just relax.

W: woo! I can feel the shift/ listen up if you know what this is/ listen even closer if you have no idea/ CKC, TEAMCOOP we was born to win, yea/ let that blow in the wind/ makin sales now my cash on swim/ don't sink, I float/ don't need lifeboats/ left stroke right stroke/ shxt I'm paintin again/ I'm a mufuxkin artist boy what you expect?/ it's off wit yo head if you come at my neck/ it's prolly bout bread if I answer a text/ & I'm prolly gettin head while you beggin for sex/ off that, what's next?/ all I want is money, power, respect/ all I want is love & wealth for my set/ I paid all my dues time to pay off these debts/ & I'm bound to do shxt that you'll never forget/ I always stay down I see why you upset/ and don't come around if you act like a fed cuz we show no respect if you serve and protect/ blew a blunt to the head/ white smoke in the air/ see a canvas and I see red/ & fuxk all cops who patrol on the block just to aim when they see heads/ if not for God, then I'd be dead/ I could be next/ ain't that some shxt/ well I'll be damned/ as long as I'm here, ima stay my path/ ima paint my life and ima live like twice/ lil buddy ima get this cash

B: Homie relax, relax. Our season is coming like tax. They killin the niggas we got while we waitin on Malcolm X. Nigga get back, cuz we strapped, and these bullets don't know where you at. We came to shoot up the game wit these caps which you don't wanna catch like a flat

W: this...art is legal tender/ I make big bread off commissions/ I can vividly remember bein in the dark and paintin pictures/ cuz my power out, ain't have no food, ain't even wash my dishes/ I was down and out but makin moves, no time for makin wishes/ listen/ I'm overly defensive/ about my kindred & my visions/ pissin niggas off who listen/ bitxhin/ cuz I get attention/ I can't help what I was given/ winnin fans wit every picture/ livin life without no ceilings/thinking ain't no competition/ fuxk the world and fuxk yo feelins/ if you love em, hide yo women/ cuz they love they 'selves some Willie/ if you doubt it call up Welvin screamin/ "Who don't get no bitxhes" nigga/ I will bet the richest nigga/ I ain't botta argue wit you, just put it on my tab/ came in the game and made my name baby, I put that on my dad/ Fresh Prince, No Heir it hurt his feelings/ I had to say my bad/ but dem feelins woulda killed me Pop if I ain't let em pass/ he said damn I understand/ Papa told me ima man/ & that made a youngin proud and if you real, you understand/ cuz I grew up in a home with just a mama & no dad/ I don't hold a thing against em/ I ain't worried bout the past/ that's my mufuxkin nigga now, we gon fight to make it last/ believe dat
B: it's been a long time coming, now we on the map. Praise due to the most high for these prophecies turned fact. Born to lose, built to win. Me and my kin, never leave again. Nigga we back

W: this the last verse so I gotta finish strong/ Will & Bas$quiat on the mufuxkin song/ ima get you hip to the kinda shxt we on/ we speakin billion dollar thoughts every time we on da phone/ like ay, wudup wudup, what you doin/ shxt I, just got up & just start paintin/ how bout you, are you recording ?/ shxt, when you done send dat shxt over/ the art is crazy the grind is worser/ blessed to know that we broke the curse cuz/ sent from heaven to rule on earth/ I'm always puttin my family first/ we killed this shxt, nigga I hearsed the verse/ we paid our dues now reimburse us/ flawed like all but the flow is perfect/ I'm past the surface/ I smashed the serpent/ niggas mad that I mastered purpose/ damn it's worth it
