Lyrics Foundation (feat. Ro Marsalis) - 16raheem

Yeah yea yea, I ain't the one you should play with
Knew we a make us a way from the days in
The bottom was deep it was eight of us staying in mobbing inside of that basement
Yeah, ain't no replacement
One six one of one under the sun the top gun
I am not having no fun until I'm done working the day shift
Yea yea yea
Rollin till the fortera flat
When you talk I'm bored of hearing back
Everything these rappers saying wack
Ian tryna hop up On a track
We can only work if you the one
I just spent a lil bitty stack
Year ago I didn't have none
I know in my heart I make these songs they
Taking me Overseas
Can't break me down
I do what I love in turn no holding me
Used to really be plugged Ian serve no dub
I done lost that quarter P
I done changed my life tryna get that right
My sight gon over see

I walked on a steady foundation
Now this weight on my shoulders to make one
If there's an opportunity I take one
You can ask anyone
You can ask anyone
I walked on a steady foundation
Now this weight on my shoulders to make one
If there's an opportunity I take one
You can ask anyone
You can ask anyone

Back then they ain't want me
These days they all on me
Nowadays I'm ya homie
But don't tell me if you don't
Yeah, yeah
Got work for me no more
Yeah, yeah
I'ma move around every time
I stay moving round all the time
You know I ain't never hard to find
Stay there with my people I ain't lying
Never lie never lie, no, no
Member when I couldn't pay my note
Now I'm getting paid to hold these notes (turn me up a lil bit)
And I built, brick by brick
Hit by hit
Never quit, now I'm lit, yeah yeah

And whenever I'm having a vision
I'm talking to God I listen
He gimme divine Provision
I'm always gon look out for my bro
I done told em I'll slide, wit it
If he need my help ima come right thru ima drop what I had wimme
In the stu with the realist of real
You never could feel what we feel
You gotta be quiet listen
Know Forever I'm moving with grace
And I'm always gon go my pace
You ain't never gon find me quitting

I walked on a steady foundation
Now this weight on my shoulders to make one
If there's an opportunity I take one
You can ask anyone
You can ask anyone
I walked on a steady foundation
Now this weight on my shoulders to make one
If there's an opportunity I take one
You can ask anyone
You can ask anyone
