[Verse 1: Marlowe (Solemn Brigham)]
Third prep what the story is
Made a bigger cheque, big flex like the 'ccordion
Aiming at your neck, put the name on the board again
It pays to get respect
I done patient sipped, the name ain't put correct
I drop the latest, hopped the plane, now my haters feel neglect
Made it stages through the game but I know they don't see the depth
I got angels like I'm David, you can't aim a bigger threat
I got pain that made mе jaded but I made it through the nеt
I got federal cases I evade at every step
'Cause I almost crossed the state moving this weight all by myself
They be trying to get the language 'cause their life just don't reflect
And I made it through this rock without a chain made to my neck
Cmon, give me the fame and give me shade and give me the stainless
Give me famous, hop in the Range and make me shameless
Coming up fast you can't sustain it
Over the past, I'm chasing greatness and I graduated
But getting acclimated, you can check the affidavit
I got the baddest thing around, you know the match was made in
I got the loudest pack in town, go ahead and ask your neighbour
Down to get the crown like it was calculated
I know they mad I made it, leave them with some sadder faces

[Chorus: Marlowe (Solemn Brigham)]
Say whatever, Do whatever
Heard I was around but I can do you better
Stay wherever, Take whatever
The game will leave you faded if you let her
Say whatever, Do whatever
Heard I was around but I can do you better
Stay wherever, Take whatever
The game will leave you faded if you let her
[Verse 2: Blu]
This is mastery, matrimony, I lift the spliff to lift me
It's the 21st century earth, bless the trinity first
'93 to infinity church, 83 retrace my identity, birth
I was born in divinity first then eventually cursed
To return to the dirt with the best and the worst
All become one with the one
The earth spun, the 3rd rock under the sun
The first blunt wrote this with supreme focus
'Bout to give birth to a son who needs both his parents in his life
Shoulda married a wife but I'm married to the life, the streets, stress and strife
Why would I share that with?
Match lit, pissed about this rap shit
Past shit. Pad too small to move all my equipment in it
Need a studio rented
Couple of blunts and cups of liquor got my venting like

[Verse 3: Joell Ortiz]
Knock, knock, who's there?
It's me. Me who?
He who your go tos go to for that 3 2
Magic in the B-ooth
Diamonds like lightning in my Z-eus
Peace dangling from half a key, you
Barking up the wrong tree if you're hollering at the [?]
It's ending with steel, no gender reveal just a shower
When they ask will I retire, I say no
Every time I look at OG in the mirror it's a go
Long way from Nintendo holding guns up to blow
All these years later still got all my ducks in a row
But the ducks look different
The house paid, the trucks come kitted
The house maid's dusting around the kitchen
The nicest n***a in the lunch room did it
Math teacher somewhere proud, I crunch new digits with accounts daily
Real cream like my Mercedes leather
My cheddar is aging better, ain't never the same endeavour
So let 'em just
[Chorus: Marlowe (Solemn Brigham)]
Say whatever, Do whatever
Heard I was around but I can do you better
Stay wherever, Take whatever
The game will leave you faded if you let her
Say whatever, Do whatever
Heard I was around but I can do you better
Stay wherever, Take whatever
The game will leave you faded if you let her
