[Refrain]
Rhyme a few bars, ki-ki-kick a few flows
For every word I spit, I get phe-phe-phenomenal
And we might as well shine together

[Verse 1]
I made moves in the trenches, looking over my shoulders
A fool and his riches would soon part, that’s what they told us
A school of fish follows the shark to eat his leftovers
And when that shark is hungry again, it ups the death total
Esco in that Maybach truck, Macallan Scotch in the cup
Three hundred thousand watching the stallion that’s rolling up

A boss is one who learn to get dough, then he show you
Keep the limelight, I curves them photos, I’m Yoda
The wise one, high off the blunt smoke
Worrying about the next man will stunt growth
Just do my shadow boxing and jump rope
I don’t front for attention for ratchet sisters
‘Til my casket dip, I’ma want more, just the truth, trick
So many new chicks, I wish I was born with two—
Oops, I take that line back
A devil in a blue dress, I grind that
Body so crazy, they asking where I find that
Thirty-five thousand feet is where I write my rhymes at

[Refrain]
Rhyme a few bars, ki-ki-kick a few flows
For every word I spit, I get phe-phe-phenomenal
And we might as well shine together

[Verse 2]
Like a baby baffled, first time seeing his shadow
People react the same to what Preem and Nas will unravel
Rugged pistol holder slash government whistleblower
Repugnant information, the public should get to know us
The boroughs into Piscataway know my album dates
A staggering rise of music coming out, I calculate

‘Cause when my name is mentioned, it’s why the game be shifting
When you lames drop, the people remain indifferent
This is my dissertation, displaying it at my leisure
Precious like postal cards written by slaves in secret
Black preachers casting spirits back into Hell
Hear the trumpets in the Bible as Joshua starts to yell
Easy money is robbery in broad day
Might call BET to play my videos all day
The cribs are mini-museums
The closets are more like small department stores, I drop that raw

[Refrain]
Rhyme a few bars, ki-ki-kick a few flows
For every word I spit, I get pheno-phenomenal
And we might as well shine together
