How We Get Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now I've introduced you to this gutter life of living We work in a warehouse, we hustle while you're chilling Everyone I roll with has strong ass bodies Strengthen activity, everybody plotting Ways to improve, come up with cheap zen It's easy to work hard, when you work often How you gonna listen to a man who's been rich since seventeen? He's never missed a bill, he's never lost his dream What the fuck a rich man know about a real life? What the fuck a rich man know about real strife? Capitalist distraction feeding the cycle I fall prey to it too, simple suicidal Glamorizing many things that make our nation weaker Enthralled by vitriol, ignore the thoughtful speaker Overpopulation, look at what you've brought Hurtling towards extinction, same within my thought {Sample} Gimme rap with that deep bass sound Gimme rap with that deep bass sound [Verse 2] South Sac Gutter Rap, 916 My graze is so amazing, blazing as I rip Another mic, another blunt, another feat Y'all should call me Jack, the way I rip this beat My flow is so heavy, it's irregular Many can't understand, too nonsecular Creeping past midnight, alive into the night I don't need off-site for insight, alright? Here we go again, don't try to tempt me Taste forbidden fruit but sustenance is empty Supply and demand, economic cycles Try to mimic life, but missing the vital Energy transferred from divine The battle within our mind is the gravity towards the time pleading {Sample} -it, keep it gutter, that's how we get down [Verse 3] We don't sell Ferraris, we live in the gutter We don't floss chains, we live in the gutter We don't park riffs, we live in the gutter Yes I like to rap, did I stutter? The only thing worse than a rich ass rapper Is blind music fans who support this chapter Rap has gone glam like metal in the '80s Grab some grunge, let's bring rap back to the streets To see it under the streets is now to see it in the clubs To see it in the call-outs, to see it in the sets without love So check it all y'all, let's bring rap to the real Man, you're a business? That's the style I can't feel I wanna hear a rapper who's a man of experience Not just collecting toys, and bragging incoherent The superficial is a fun realm to escape to But when you start to live there, you don't notice and it breaks you
