[Verse 1: Louis Retro]
Started thinking 'bout it in the eighth grade
Didn't tell nobody I was too afraid
But I still went home and wrote everyday
I was in my zone
I was in my place
If they ever knew all the things I planned
Probably write it off
I was in a phase
But I told myself I would never change
I was integrated, stuck in my ways
Then I got to college and started rapping more
Opportunity was at the door
Like it's moving day
Throw the speakers up
Let them hear me all through that dormitory
Now I'm making room for my allegory
I could tell it now
But that's a long story
Fast forward to the end of school when I closed the book
And I phoned Cory
Now I write it out and I drop that shit
Kinda feel there's no stopping this
Roll the windows down
Let me hear that thing
Playing all across the metropolis
I been gone awhile
But it's all for this
And I still remember who's mocking it
And my whole squad said they need it out
I tried to hold them off but they need it now
Tell them that's why they don't see me out
All I hear is how I'm missing out
But I'm fine with that
Case closed I'm tryna rap
So nothing else really matters
Sitting down with the silverware and the platters
I hope they understand
Long time coming
Now they know the plan
Long term run it
[Hook: Louis Retro]
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
Let them know we never stop (never stop)
(no we)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
We rocking 'till the end
(That's why I won't ever let up!)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
Let them know we never stop (never stop)
(no we)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
We rocking 'till the end

[Verse 2: Louis Retro]
Full time student
Full time music
Asked God He said you better use it
Got second life
If you ever thinking you ain't bout to make it
Better grind through it
Diamond cuts
You're the light in their tunnel vision and they're all reaching
Rap game renaissance man
Better straighten up when I walk in
I been here, I been barking
See a new wall, Ima mark it
Bet I hop over
Then it's all over
Taking aim I'm a marksman
With the sights lined up stalking
Pray Lord keep me on the straight path that I'm walking
And keep me up 'till the coffin
If anybody asks
I been moving at a new speed
I'm in a different lane
All I know is write a new speech and if I put it out there it's a different game
Every time I read Newsweek
They say business first and let the rest develop
Boy, I'm well up now
Lately I take my phone calls to a different name
I swear we're schemin'
Showed up like we own the scene and ain't never leaving
Represent for the mass of people
Now tell me I need a different reason
Everyday we're out here
We're making moves and we're barely breathing
(barely breathing)
Keeping up with the best of them
About to leave behind all the rest of them
Let's go!
[Hook: Louis Retro]
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
Let them know we never stop (never stop)
(no we)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
We rocking 'till the end
(That's why I won't ever let up!)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
Let them know we never stop (never stop)
(no we)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
We rocking 'till the end

[Verse 3: Louis Retro]
Who dat said they gon' come for us
(Who dat said they gon' come for us)
I got a whole team
If you ain't one of them
Then we all know you ain't one to trust
It's trash day and we're taking out
(Trash day and we're taking out)
And ain't nobody ever show us nothing
Really had to go and find our own route
Now we're in here
Keep it moving I'm in gear
They said when you gon' make it
I was thinking 'bout this year
I was thinking 'bout my time
I was thinking how I'm from the city really known for all of its street signs
And they all seem to point one way
That's way up!
Having secret conversations put it on the land line
If they're coming for me
Hope they catch that land mine
Catch them slipping
Going off the deep end
Now that water whippin'
I'm just steady cooking something in the kitchen
That's the mission
Now we're rolling out
Don't care what they say, this is our day
Never went the way they said to go, did it our way
Ask me if I do this everyday, I say all day
Got the college kids rapping in the hallways
[Hook: Louis Retro]
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
Let them know we never stop (never stop)
(no we)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
We rocking 'till the end
(That's why I won't ever let up!)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
Let them know we never stop (never stop)
(no we)
Tell my homies now we rock (rock)
We rocking 'till the end
