[Verse 1] Take it back to the times
When I chased dimes
Wrote rhymes, paced minds
8 times in a week
Never waste time, I'm strong for the week
If we ain't on the same page then we can't speak
You on mute
Had to choose another route
I been all over the world, you struggling to commute
Who are you?
Chasing facades, I'm bracing for God
If the world ends, from aliens straight to the pods (ha!)
Little joke to relieve the tension
Stay grinding but they fail to mention
My name in the media, speed dialing Expedia
Government getting greedier
Heading overseas a meteor man
Flows golden lord, whole town send
Energy stored, all the leaders in morgues
Everybody cyborgs, doing the same things
Programmed; Facebook and the Gram
I'm on the same Dream

[Chorus] From back when, I was on the streets surviving
Now the sound all up in ya, Gullah Gullah Island
Granny he wildin'
Know you looking down, I can feel you smiling
Dreams I'm piling
Never lose the hunger, my stomach growling
Wolves are howling
Waiting for my shot, life steadily fouling
It's cool tho
Soon they'll give me kudos
Soon they'll give me kudos
Kudos, kudos, kudos!
Soon they'll give me kudos
Soon they'll give me kudos
Kudos, kudos, kudos!
I'm cool tho

[Verse 2] We grow wax over here!
We no slack over here!
We throw back over here!
We no rap over here!
We flow facts over here, here!
Don't get lost in translation, cousin
Glazing the page amazing
Cheaper by the dozen
Mono buzzing honey
Don't you see the hive breaking out?
Soaring through the cold
Blistering flows I'm making out
Kiss of life, resurrects death
What they read man, next to meth
Dope. Next breath
Exhale heavenly air
Cloud walk, my steps clean
Next scene, chess king
Showing 'em with depth mean
Overlooked so long, I got used to it
Still concentrated, made juice to it
Akon, I'm showing people the light
Tho they blind, had a Dream and I never lost sight
