From the streets — Get on a beat and go ahh

I could break it down like whatever ya ahh

You-you-you-you know you shouldn’t rhyme like unh

Let them pussy niggas get in your mind like unh

Baby boy you could do it take your time do it…

If you get the chance

To be a man in a b-boy stance and advanced from the go

I’ll trace outer space with a unh

The baby-sitter of styles — I’ve traveled miles with

Bitches and… I've traveled miles with…

I’ve traveled miles with bitches and brew the ritual

Of the real unh

Your platinum but real unh’s don’t feel you

You sampled real unh’s and then filtered

I’m built to last — at last I’m free

The Roots and SV be the family tree

SV and the Roots be the family tree

The Roots and SV and the tree is unh

Instinct to hustle-divided by the struggle

Plus a couple of scuffle’s and up to high shuffle

Even when it sound muffled.

With king-sized thoughts that’s sparrow shaped

Before I came up I had to elevate

Let a nigga move where he wanna move up to

You don’t like how I’m livin… well fuck ohhh
