[Intro]
Whenever I have to go away
Make no difference how long I stay

[Verse 1]
Never back down, here to get down
Skinny motherfucker but I'm ripped now
Get a grip now, knocking shit down
Think I got another hip-hop hit now
Everybody wanna throw a fit now
Not a single hook on the album
I came back to spit now
When you build it from the ground up
People wanna rip down
Fuck you, sit down

[Chorus]
I gotta keep it up, gotta beat it up, pick up the mic, heat it up right
Watch the people eat it up, right? Gotta fight for the right like MCA
From MD to DC to VA
Listen, from the beginning and run it back, hit replay
It's the R-A-double T-P-A-C-K all day, MadGic

[Post-Chorus]
Got the kind of groove that
Keep my heart drumming, drumming, drumming
Got the kind of rhythm that
Keep me humming, humming, humming
[Verse 2]
I'ma keep it going and going
We got it going up, they don't know enough
People talking but we showing up
Back in 2011, we blowing up
It was me, J. Cole, Mac Miller, K. Dot
Big Sean, Wiz, Gambino, T. Scott
Everybody came up from the same spot
Kicking shit like Reebok
Bringing heat rock, got the street hot
I, been through a lot, thought I knew a lot
Thought I had some homies that was do or die
But it was a lie, never even tried
To keep it together after everything we seen together
Took the weather, whether they knew it or not
Would've took a shot but I'm glad he did not
'Cause it was never really ready to rock

[Chorus]
I, gotta keep it up, gotta beat it up, pick up the mic, heat it up right
Watch the people eat it up, right? Gotta fight for the right like MCA
From MD to DC to VA
Listen, from the beginning and run it back, hit replay
It's the R-A-double T-P-A-C-K all day, MadGic

[Post-Chorus]
Got the kind of groove that
Keep my heart drumming, drumming, drumming
Got the kind of rhythm that
Keep me humming, humming, humming
[Verse 3]
When you grow up in the hood without a male role model
And your momma turn to the bottle
Give a damn about status, who the baddest
I just wanna be the raddest dad as I can be

[Outro]
