LYRICS:

CH- B,H,Jesse, Dave
Up and down everyday
Broke from this toll I pay
Please take this weight away
Inro- H
808's, yeah 8's
drop kicking when I'm flashin', karate assassin

CH- B,H,Jesse, Dave
Up and down everyday
Down on my knees I pray
Broke from this toll I pay
Please take this weight away


BV1-
He a skatta brain
he a skatta brain
just a dirt poor worker on a data bang
battle reign
his mind it pang
cock of the hammer
unlock tha bang
cost he gain
source of flight
choice be made
so he burns the nt
and he earns the flames as the days get shades 
on it 24/7 ‘till hunger enrage
lay streaks in the sky that peak in twilight
through sketches like breath in a maglight
overtime this boy don't sweat,
more in reserve than gas and elect
that's lift
manic-impressive
inquisitive, with obsesive
compulsive, where the bulk be entrusted
dat prone when the push come to shove wit
that glove it fit me fine
no-ah quit you can follow my blood
where I stand l land on Ellis
back when the looks at my life weren't jealous-
measure, staircase, escher's, endless
hand top tectonic bends it
check the forensics
boy he killed it

HV1-
Yo bed stricken my head be lead kicking
sow it up my motor will make you tough
on my mind, need closure like window blinds
I never will drop behind, the focus I'm realigned 
feel the rush I can get with a push
I gotta get it that's unlimited you give in the clutch
break down that's a national shakedown
came to shake ground on account of a take down
beat 'em up, seat 'em, treat 'em, then eat 'em up 
my 21 jump in the streets should be enough
but if it's not, I'm gonna give up the clock
to stop time, unwind, yeah never enough
yeah 8's, watch the body break
808’s, pick it up, lift it up, make the lobby shake

CH- B,H,Jesse, Dave
Up and down everyday
Down on my knees I pray
Broke from this toll I pay
Please take this weight away

Outro- H&B
I think I’m off on my own now
make the lobby shake
