Excellent, 2017 |
| Yeah |
| Trap, trap jazz |
| Hold up, I know you don’t want no problems now |
| Break it down, there’s no way you can keep us out |
| Excellence, you know we about our excellence |
| Oh lord, oh lord run it back again |
| Hat on top 'cause we think excellent |
| Frames on straight 'cause I see excellent |
| Dressed for success 'cause I be excellent |
| Everything we do, everything we do |
| Excellent |
| TSB 'cause we live excellent |
| Art on high 'cause we make excellent |
| We thank God 'cause He be excellent |
| Everything we do, everything we do |
| Ooh! |
| Bars like Attica |
| Rap Benjamin Banneker |
| Building up communities, here to raise the standard up |
| Excellence |
| Yeah that new Peter and Paul |
| Gordon Parks, off the charts |
| It’s Kobe without a ball |
| (Excellence) |
| Booker T, giving knowledge for cheap |
| Smart and cool, that’s a college degree |
| Excellent like building strong families through years of oppression |
| There is no recession when all you know is the Great Depression |
| Reading Phillis Wheatley I’m tryna avoid the greedy |
| Mother Teresa in sneakers, tryna serve the needy |
| Cool in school, FAMU & Tuskegee |
| New school educators — Dhati and Thabiti |
| Focused like Moses but I’m feeling ill-equipped |
| I’m praying for a rod and the Red Sea to split |
| A crew to hold me up and a pharaoh to beef wit' |
| Just point me to the promise, I’m exiting Egypt |
| Hold up, I know you don’t want no problems now |
| Break it down, there’s no way you can keep us out |
| Excellence, you know we about our excellence |
| Oh lord, oh lord run it back again |
| Excellence |
| Hat on top 'cause we think excellent |
| Frames on straight 'cause I see excellent |
| Dressed for success 'cause I be excellent |
| Everything we do, everything we do |
| Excellent |
| We problem solvers they are problem starters |
| Excellent |
| We lay down our life, come visit the martyrs |
| I’d rather better judgement than a bigger budget |
| I guess massive money make you jokers coon in public |
| Annie Malone and Bethune, we excellent educators |
| Serena with nothing but love, we still serve the haters |
| Feeling old, gimme soul, rap Leon Bridges |
| When I commit to drop these hits, y’all gon' need some stitches |
| Excellent |
| Fight for justice from creation to the tomb |
| I know Black lives matter, and they should matter in the womb |
| (Talk to 'em Sho!) |
| I don’t do a lot of talking |
| Most of you who claim you woke are really sleep walking |
| Praying for the strength so I can fight for the people |
| Only thing I’m afraid of is God and my ego |
| Following false heroes, giving my vote to Nero |
| If they Marshall Law I’m playing Danny DeVito |
| Hold up, I know you don’t want no problems now (problems now) |
| Break it down, there’s no way you can keep us out (keep us out) |
| Excellence, you know we about our excellence |
| Oh lord, oh lord |
| Excellent |
| Hat on top 'cause we think excellent |
| Frames on straight 'cause I see excellent |
| Dressed for success 'cause I be excellent |
| Everything we do, everything we do |
| Excellent it’s when information turns into wisdom |
| Excellent like the peace that came with Mandela out the prison |
| Excellent it’s knowing I’m not defined by the wealth and stuff |
| Get the rich, line 'em up, they’ll tell you money is not enough |
| Forgive us Lord 'cause we want love without truth |
| The world is spiritually poor 'cause we want heaven without you |
| It’s malpractice, we want healing without patience |
| We don’t want a heart transplant, we want facelifts |
| I was poetic so they forgave my poor ethics |
| A misogynistic skeptic with methods of good aesthetics |
| I was so dirty, unworthy and insufficient |
| I don’t worry, he loves me when when I’m inconsistent |
| Commitment greater than talent, service over status |
| Passion over tactics, I don’t drive your bandwagon |
| I keep grinding until they name a climate after me |
| Until it’s common knowledge you jokers shouldn’t be rhyming after me |
| I’m wired to be inspired by the lovers and the haters |
| I take it to different levels like I’m rapping on elevators |
| If you reaching for the top you better learn to survive |
| You can either fall or fly when you reaching for the sky |
| Fly excellent |
| Or fall excellent |
| But never quit |
| Never quit |
