Straight out the box it be Oak and don't expect me to choke
When I'm backed by a beat that straight rocks
I ain't no joke and I suggest you check out what I wrote
Cause I'm funkier than three day old socks
That's how I'm living, Oak catches wreck? That's a given
I want the whole thing, not the crumbs like a pigeon
These days I'm not impressed by nothing anymore
Cause I probably seen it
Or heard it
Or done it
Or watched it
Or read about it or I heard somebody shout it
Or I listened to some gossip 'bout some cats that mighta lost it
Mind your own and worry what's behind your own door
And you can check us when we go back on tour
We're off the hook the like your phone when you're fucking
We aim our words at your dome, best be ducking
You dug your own hole that you're now stuck in
And all these dummies that keep sleeping get tucked in
Do what you want
Say what you want
Feel what you want
It don't matter to us
Talk all you want
Shout all you want
Doubt all you want
It don't matter to us
I'm sick of wishin' for the good old days
My mission?
Put some fun back in the stage and shut up my own bitchin'
See I been there done it, twice times a hundred
God mad regroup while most of y'all fronted
These days I don't stay blunted by choice
I can breath a lot better standing higher Royce
And you 'betcha they won't know what to thing 'bout the
And just wait till you see me I'ma make y'all believe me
I'm an underground veteran, twenty three and better than
Ninety nine point nine percent, it's unsettling
We're underrated, while the undeserved will get un
Done, it's done, that shit is absurd, but
Actions speak louder than complaints and and claims
We're here for good so don't mistake the name
It's the L E, X I, C O, N,
It ain't even close to over, it's about to begin
These days, I'm thinking things gotta change, I said
These days, I'm thinking things gotta change, I said
These days, I'm thinking things gotta change, I said
These days, I'm thinking things gotta change, I said
These days
Do what you want to
Say what you want to
Feel all you want to
To To To...
Talk all you want to
Shout all you want to
Doubt all you want to
To To To...
Yo, steppin' to the L is disastrous
These days, the girls no longer passin' us
Went from no praise at all to miraculous
Sooner or later they'll be naming cities after us
Better step up and come prepared if you want to try to claim a piece
Shit, as I write this I'll be thinkin' bout my next release
The L will rock the system, ride the rhythm, standing tall
Keep talkin' madness, we'll keep ignoring y'all
See it took movin' with a fleet foot
So the key should be to move limbs
It's all sink or swim
And I never even [unintelligible] and just slippin' to the bottom
Just locked on to my targets
When they close enough I shot 'em
That's just how I do, already showed you
But when you fall too many times that gets old too
So now I promise that you'll never hear me complain again
Cause when it comes to paying dues you're forced to stay in debt
People came and went, my savings spent
But I'm just happy I can pay my rent
Although it takes me for my very last cent
I never break down, prefer instead to break ground
You can't hang the shake down and run through the night
I'm to busy makin' moves to get caught up in your fight
You try to raise it up but couldn't find the wind for your kite
I simply worked harder, and now I'm set for the clock
[woman] [Big Oak]
Don't be afraid Whatcha doin with yourself?
(that you'll lose?) And where ya going with yourself?
And whatcha showin' of yourself?
And are you happy with yourself?
As a kid they said to follow your heart
Put your right foot forward and your left at the start
You gotta be straight and narrow, slicked back with a part
Follow the light or get stuck in the dark
Man, ain't shit changed, gotta switch lanes
Break down the wall if you don't flip frames
I'm new to you but I got practice at this
Every day it's an impression of Atlas
And the fact is, I never gave up, gave in, or tapped out
Got too much pride for that
And it's an uphill climb, I get so tired that I pass out
But I ain't slidin' back, I've
Lost hope, watched it come out of nothing
Heard a lot of talk, seen a lot of bluffing and
I learned somthin' man, every day I stay breathin'
That's what separates tryin' from believin'
