[ Featuring Yonas ]
HOOK (Dylan)
Pardon while I take what's mine
They could never shade my shine
Yes lawd
I know what's at stake this time
They could never change my mind
Yes lawd
The groove is a beautiful thing once you find it
You need some work but that's not my assignment
I hope I'm not preachin' right to the choir,
You'll be just fine
Yes lawd
VERSE (Dylan)
Thanks the heavens, I'm back with the 5th amendment
But the speech is never free because the pen is too impeccable
Check the rhetoric I know it's seeming effortless
But all of that was spent, so now it's never on the schedule
Yeah, in other words it's comin' easy to me
Fruits of my labor, now they feed em to me
People i admire turn to friends, we designin' all trends
& acquiring the ends, aw yeah
I done grew up round some things i wasn't supposed to witness
But music is my religion, i'm Jay Hova's witness
The speakers bleedin', i'm sippin' the blood of Yeezus
& eatin' decent with people that's breedin' my genius
You could say the chapel is my studio,
The bible's what this beat is,
I guess that's why i grew up in Mass - the people need this
Wow, so i'm touring round the country with the gospel
Makin' non-believers my apostles, yes lawdddd

VERSE (YONAS)
In first place, you gotta part of my back
Presidential like the car's in all black
These rappers claim they got the largest of stacks
Then i meet em, & that shit be far from the facts
I use this art to inspire, they use this art to distract
Then they panic when it starts to collapse
Around that time is when i start to relax
I steal their fans & that's when opposites just start to attract
I feel the government tappin in on my mobile phone
They scared of kings like me, who sit up on golden thrones
I move the world whenever i speak in these golden tones
I'm Kobe Bryant before that chopper was over flown
Survive the jungle by reading defenses, we know the zones
We keep the real (reel), in the deep end is where we throw the clones
The first thing that we learned is you gotta hold your own
Cuz in the end, when you go - you gotta go alone, yes lawddd
