Uplift |
Levantore! |
Yeah, it’s just ghetto, kid test the devil to hit the next level |
Wish they was a rebel with cerebral metal |
Inflex the bezzle with the peddle to the metal |
In a thug’s paradise where love have a price |
So we love for life like thugs love the night |
They sell drugs for ice for the Benz with bug lights |
Some hug mics to the world, hung like parasites |
The likes lethal, the mics lead you |
A sneak preview, watch what we do and what the hood teach you |
I still see through the eye of a needle |
So I can watch people cause slug backwards is evil |
(2nd verse) |
Levantore! |
Yo, what’s this? |
Yo bust this. |
Yo it’s time to up lift |
They think all we do is bust clips and puff splifs |
And plush whips and clutch chips and touch chicks |
Flont rocks like Fort Knox and hog blocks |
Taunt cops with more props and we want not |
Panhandling with your mans and them |
Scrambling, gambling, plans to win |
While the cops clock em, thieves flock em Women watch em, traders wanna top em Ay yo what’s the problem |
Before the narcs knock em opposite playas plot to rob em The ghetto got em, my man said it’s rough at the bottom |
(3rd verse) |
Levantore! |
Ghetto alert, let’s do whatever work to get rid of the curse |
We went from 1st to America’s worst |
On this competitive turf, now let’s inherit the earth |
There’s more prize for one another, and call shots |
12:00 til the next ball drop |
All year around plus they shuffle non stop |
You think it’s rough at the bottom, it’s even rougher on top |
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me And everybody’s side of the street’ll be celly |
Ain’t nothing funny, burn plenty and burn money |
And earn money and watch the century turn 20 |
(4th verse) |
Levantore! |
We all should, from the woods to the big city and the small hood |
Everybody should be welcome to the ball if we all could, |
But we fall cause we brawl, yo it ain’t all good |
We need to play right, stay tight with ya air alight |
Keep your game tight, no need to play trife |
Get cheese from the daylight to the late night |
And it’s shouldn’t take death to appreciate life |
Before a lot parish, we got to cherish if Allah let us Let’s give prop and merits till the block flourish |
In this metropolis, stay on top of this |
You know what the prophet is, be prosperous |
(5th verse) |
Levantore! |
Now we networking |
Respect the next person, it’ll be less hurting |
Or left lurkin, while we kept our dreads working |
Connect set for certain, total networking |
Last chance to advance and stash grands |
If you have plans to have fam and mad land |
Own shine, condone crime or hold 9s |
I know what the problem is, killing our own kind |
To my flame throwers, train sober, remain soldiers |
Stay sane so these pretty dames can hold us Terror terrain rollers and Range Rovers so the train goers |
Claim your fame, maintain, till your game’s over |
(6th verse) |
Levantore! |
Ghetto alert, let’s do whatever work to get rid of the curse |
We went from 1st to America’s worst |
On this competitive turf, now let’s inherit the earth |
There’s more prize for one another, and call shots |
12:00 til the next ball drop |
All year around plus they shuffle non stop |
You think it’s rough at the bottom, it’s even rougher on top |
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me And everybody’s side of the street’ll be celly |
Ain’t nothing funny, burn plenty and burn money |
And earn money and watch the century turn 20 |
Levantore! |
