They Say - Calm.

They say you can’t do it, they say it’s not realistic

They say you don’t fit in, don’t risk it you’re a misfit

We started with a Radio Shack mic in Park Hill

Back when you if you were at the Holly after dark you could get killed

We showed up to local battles, did our first show at east Colfax

Performed where ever we could, we did it all with no road maps

Bugaboo gave us a show, shout to Mike and Fly Jedi

Toured all over the country, driving all night with red eyes

We failed, got rejected, stayed persistent, that’s the lesson

Studied the legends, Large Pro, Big Daddy Kane, no half stepping

When Things Fall Apart go back to your Roots, for Love I’m always Questing

Try to find the Tipping Point, it’s Game Theory, keep em guessing

We did our first album release in the basement of a bookstore

We never get discouraged we just go back to the lab and cook more

They say a lot of things, I’m doing things, no say, I prove it

They say a lot of things, but they never say I can do it

They say why aren’t you getting paid for the work that you do?

They say promos not paper, you’re getting exploited and screwed

We never asked for permission, attention is promo

Getting heard is the mission, some of my songs made no dough

You never know where art can go, each song’s an opportunity

I pull the trigger and let go, being real will never ruin me

We’ve had our sets cut, we’ve got kicked off of stage

We just nurtured the wrath, planned the path and channeled the rage

Cause even when rejected don’t ever change your message

Trust your method, cause tomorrow could be your death bed

No label, I use the internet as my distribution

It goes down in the DM, interaction is my solution

This ain’t bootstrap rap, it takes positivity

I’m grateful for my community and everything they’ve given me

They say a lot of things, I’m doing things, no say I prove it

They say a lot of things, but they never say I can do it
