return of the mack

get up!

what it is

what it does

what it is

what it isn't. looking for a better way to get up out of bed

instead of getting on the internet and checking a new hit me. get up! thrift shop

pimp-strut walking

little bit of humble

little bit of cautious

somewhere between like rocky and cosby. sweater game

nope

nope y'all can't copy

yup. bad

moon-walking

this here is our party

my posse's been on broadway

and we did it our way. grown music

i shed my skin and put my bones into everything i record to it

and yet i'm on. let that stage light go and shine on down

got that bob barker suit game and plinko in my style. money

stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds

but i do that to pass the torch and put on for my town

trust me. on my i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t shit

hustling

chasing dreams since i was fourteen with the four track bussing

halfway cross that city with the backpack

fat cat

crush shit. labels out here

nah

they can't tell me nothing

we give that to the people

spread it across the country

labels out here

nah

they can't tell me nothing

we give it to the people

spread it across the country

can we go back? this is the moment

tonight is the night

we'll fight 'til it's over

so we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us

like the ceiling can't hold us

can we go back? this is the moment

tonight is the night

we'll fight 'til it's over

so we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us

like the ceiling can't hold us

nah

can i kick it? thank you. yeah i'm so damn grateful. i grew up

really wanted gold fronts

but that's what you get when wu-tang raised you

y'all can't stop me

go hard like i got an 808 in my heart beat

and i'm eating at the beat like you give a little speed to a great white shark on shark week

raw. tell me go up. gone!

deuces goodbye. i got a world to see

and my girl she wanna see rome

caesar'll make you a believer. nah i never ever did it for a throne. that validation comes from giving it back to the people. nah sing this song and it goes like

raise those hands
