Get up out the way, now look me in the face/ it's happening I'm here to claim what's mine for takes/ won't you get up out ya seat and boogie to the beat/ you know it's a hit with Jimmy Guapo on the beat/ throw ya hands up, like being stopped by police/ cuz you have the right to fight if you really wanna party/ ain't no one gonna stop you, you allowing vibes to harvest/ when you're plunging in a free fall then then let the music be your harness/ Rock tonight like it may be your last/ there's no future, not even bits of past/ there's a show right now and you're with the band/ and if you roll with me you better to move your ass/ cuz, when I'm ghost, best believe you'll stay behind/ Unless you got you're running shoes to keep up with mine/ I keep my head held high, can you handle that/ Nobodies wasting time, no private calls on the jack/ And if you like that, gimme something better And if I top that, you believed in never. Oh, he like that/ and when I give it to him/ I get it right back/ he won't stop cuz the girl is on the fast track/ keep it smooth but keep it coming/ when the mind is blacked out, all there is is body floating/ back to the future/ if you're quitting then it suits ya/ keep ya bottom down, I'd only prove the world refuses ya/ and accepts me!, cuz I let it be/ there's no way all that glitters was passing, you gassing me,/ like a star in the sahara/ and ya diggin me like steve to his Laura/ family matters, the outside don't hear the anthem/ so I'll make it quick,/ "GOOD LUCK, THANKS FOR PASSING UP", "HEAR YOU'RE CLASSING UP, WHAT'S THE FUSS?","I PASSED AND LEVELED UP?, "MY PLANETS ALIGN, I FEEL GOOD, MAN I'M COOL AS TUCK", I, keep ya head held high/ they can't handle that/ don't gotta wonder who I am, no "WHO DAT DAT DAT?"/ And if you like that, gimme something better And if I top that, you believed in never. (When you got something good, you better hold on to it tight. Cuz aint no telling when ya gonna get it back, and that's if it wants to come back) A boom-boom Nani nani/ I've been coming/ when you call, I'll be there, don't be afraid to want me/ A boom-boom nani nani/ better keep it coming, better keep it strong/ see I've been coming all along/ Destination, unknowing on this runaway/ we don't get wash out, we ride the tidal waves to a higher plane/ make peace, create a holiday/ whether you like it or not we're be uniting for our FREEDOM/ TO REJOICE AND BBOY/ CUZ I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, THAT LIFE IS BETTER WITH SOME BEATS AND SOME DRO/ AND IF YOU'RE SIPPING ON LIFE, THEN YOU BETTER THINK TWICE/ ABOUT YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS HUSBANDS AND WIVES/ ALRIGHT- NOW WHO YOU THINK IS REALLY SPENDING THE TIME/ YOU BETTER AUDIT THAT AND SEE WHO'S REALLY SPENDING THEM DIMES/ To keep ya head held high, they can't handle that/ nobody bringing heat to you, with your cold hard facts/ And you you like that gimme something better And If I top that you believed in never

Grand Scheme 02:54
Hook- you wouldn't find me out here hesitating, if I did I probably would've wasted a;; the time just to caught my breath/ ask me where I been/ but I never left/ to make it i shake it and break it down 3x Verse 1 Come on J, we outta here/ we rocking to this hottie, the summer sweating the funk/ my prancing's more like dancing not even giving a F--k/I tell em (sample)/ ou now you got me started, aint no way that i can stop/ imma about to take shit over, tigress zoo gone make it pop/ Imma break it down, you wish you were around, before I even thought to do this you're just learning now/ Imma take that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff/ even if it kills me, death wouldn't be enough/ come around the way resurrecting that holy smoke/ got me so in tune like I took the only toke/ I'm feeling like oww, when you see me in em stripes you bow DOWN!/ Ain't no playing when it comes to running the town, I'm never rocking a frown, and if you see me mean mugging the demolition my sound/ Tu sabe? Hook- you wouldn't find me out here hesitating, if I did I probably would've wasted a;; the time just to caught my breath/ ask me where I been/ but I never left/ to make it i shake it and break it down 3x Rocking to this hottie the demolition's my sound Verse 2 ever since the time young zoo was scripting rhymes/ it was like i was writing for the future leap in time/ through the dirt and glass, wonder how to sharpen lines/ i could never forget the stories kept in my chest/ got a lot to fill these pages for a couple lives and next/ when im gone/ heavens praising my pslams/ halleluh the fam/ see me at the east of eden, I'm coasting river dam/ Hudson. I95 on the FDR stunting/ eyes sitting low in the heights, im way up/ I got a pocket full of sunshine/ illume my night up/ i find a reason in my purpose not just for season re-up/ i pray to god this just a start, too much life to give up/ you would think i was vain BUT I HAVE TO/ SHOW EM I SURVIVED THRU THE PAIN WHEN OTHER DOUBTED ZOO. It's not another facade, more like soul decoupage, it's not cause i wanted to but i was born outta stars hook you wouldn't find me out here hesitating, if I did I probably would've wasted all the time just to caught my breath/ ask me where I been/ but I never left/ to make it i shake it and break it down 3x rocking to this hottie the demolition's my sound.

Verse 1- Something like I do every time I get a minute/ just a minute/ just to do what I do/ I hear the rhythm of the city/ everything is nice and gritty/ I see you want this night just as bad as I do/ Now Keep on giving me that good good, hitting the bass/ NYC's the place I was born and raised in/counting all the ppl all over the world, even crossing boarders/ Just to make it, I'm taking it home. Chorus- I knew it, I'm making over time/ who else can do it? but an empire mind/ there ain't nothing to it/ must I remind, that the time is so precious a minute can't be rewind/ so i rally up the troops, since there's nothing we can lose/ and I have to make this change, so I set out in pursuit; the escape/ you probably thinking no way/ my mama told me that, "if baby you got this, baby then you gon' rock this" Verse 2- Walking in the dark city sky I feel a high from the train's rumble under my feet/ Take me anywhere tonight/ The big apple's got a bite/ for the movers and the shakers who can rock to this beat/ let em know we got a thing for presentation/ without no hesitation we can build a nation/ counting all the people all over the world, even crossing boarders just to make it I'm taking it home. Chorus- I knew it, I'm making over time/ who else can do it? but an empire mind/ there ain't nothing to it/ must I remind, that the time is so precious a minute can't be rewind/ so i rally up the troops, since there's nothing we can lose/ and I have to make this change, so I set out in pursuit; the escape/ you probably thinking no way/ my mama told me that, "if baby you got this, baby then you gon' rock this"

Interlude 01:11
Heres to the opening of the closing / Or the closing of the opening/ I suppose when I can pay for track to be mixed/ Then all my moves I make are taken serious/ Wait she's not delirious/ she got something to say to us/ Maybe we should pay attention/ and put the pretty face aside/ cuz the looker is her mind/ You never seen curves and crevices cause actions with a wink of an eye. say koonbyey/ around the bond fire, where's ya lighter/ or am I hot enough to be ya queen sire/ questions of the crowd believe deserve an answer/ there's nothing else you're waiting for/ kick off your shoes and make sure your lock door/ cuz when ya into it, it will get intimate/ pull down the shade and feel the pain away/ if your mind else where you know which way you came/ cuz this is my life and not ya baggage claim/ basic rules, there's nothing more to explain.
