[Verse 1]
N***a I'm the literal definition of persistence
They say they want that old shit back
I know it's been a fuckin' minute
I'm tryna move the meter, make it percolate
I know that they wanted perfection, n***a we present it all day
Givin' protection from that bullshit, n***a we Allstate
Wonderin' how my n***a got so big, we all ate
Kickin' the truth and killin' flows been at it since '08
Reeling them in with them facades, how you n***as bite on the bait?
'Cause we epitomize Godliness
Bloodline like Marcus Garvey's is
I rolled the flower, this the Marley-est
Me and my n***as are gnarliest
I kickflip with yo' bitch, she the naughtiest
I'm better when I perform in front of a fuckin' audience
Better believe you lookin' at a bright sight for sore eyes
Domestic terrorist, this turf shit is like apartheid
Been on my business
Assumin' they givin' resistance
I came to the new consensus
Gettin' straight to the point, the core
Right where the nucleus is
I ain't losin' hunger, I'm gettin' fed
Slowin' the style down, pickin' up the crumbs
Yeah, I need the bread
Call it carbo-loading, or common sense
How in the fuck you tryna take a mile when I gave an inch?
[Chorus]
Tell me what they want (what they want)
What they need (what they need)
Never stop (never stop)
I proceed (I proceed)
What they want (what they want)
What they need (what they need)
Never stop (never stop)
I proceed (I proceed)

[Verse 2]
They put us inside of categories but they can't keep up with us
My thought process illustrious
You either go big or you bust
You either stay down or get up
You ain't in the same class as us
Closin' them doors in front of our faces
Still on track like we wore braces
Pay my consiglieres daily to go out and fight the cases
Might retire then go join the same fuckin' convent as Ma$e did
N***as are wylin' over pussy when they know that bitch is basic
N***a, we followin' the blueprint that all the legends were tracin'
Never conspire, n***as are fraud, literally a damn mirage
I'm dangerous when on the fly, like Hail-Mary's to Randy Moss
Exterminatin' all these vermin, we burn 'em like Holocaust
Runnin' through Crown Heights with Wyclef, screamin' out
"Mazel-Tov!"
Walk in the buildin', blow it up, bitch I came with a Molotov
You know too much to just be quiet
They knock you off if you in the know
Like J.F.K inside that public square, hit from the grassy knoll
While you was on Degrassi High, my n***a we was readin' more
To each their own, my own identity, no I cannot disown
No need to be a king, you know they get dis-throned and de-graced
Leavin' a legacy, they can't forget about our rebates
The game is a shit-show like a Presidential debate
[Chorus]
Tell me what they want (what they want)
What they need (what they need)
Never stop (never stop)
I proceed (I proceed)
What they want (what they want)
What they need (what they need)
Never stop (never stop)
I proceed (I proceed)
