| When we first started
|
| Together on the first album
|
| You know, The World Report
|
| It’s like, I more or less had the general position
|
| I was the general in the team
|
| Or the infantry or however you want to term it
|
| And you know, I’m not gonna they were like
|
| I’m not gonna say they were soldiers
|
| You know what I mean
|
| But they were more like field n*ggas
|
| You know what I’m saying
|
| They was heavy in the field
|
| They was deep in the streets and all that
|
| I had more experience
|
| You know what I’m saying
|
| I had dropped intelligent hoodlum pride to that
|
| I was with the juice crew and all that but
|
| So when we came together
|
| Like I said
|
| I had more of the vision of where things should be
|
| How it would go or whatever
|
| But as time progressed each one of us
|
| You know what I’m saying
|
| Grew and at the same time they grew a lot more
|
| So today now when we come together to the tables you know
|
| We come together as not only just generals we all commanders now
|
| You know everybody done built up their stripes and stars
|
| And their resume speaks for theyself
|
| Cuz if you look at it
|
| Each one had their own level of success
|
| And identified themselves as solo entities
|
| You feel me
|
| As their own individuals
|
| So now it’s a whole different type of aura it’s a whole
|
| The cycle is complete now
|
| And that’s what counts man
|
| That’s why it’s the new 5%
|
| Not in terms of like we’re not trying to change the degrees
|
| We’re not trying to change the lessons in terms of
|
| You know what I’m saying
|
| How we build as guards and all that or how the guards build with
|
| Or the foundation of that
|
| What we’re saying is
|
| We’re the new 5% within ourselves
|
| Like this is our new lessons in terms of where we came from
|
| This is the new 5%
|
| We’re us right now
|
| You feel me
|
| And that’s what we are |
