Neighbourhood Hit

Lyrics

[Intro: Solo & Just Enuf] Yes, yes Solo MC, Nick Lupi Just Enuf, ha "There goes the neighbourhood" One-two, one-two One Day Crew comin' through To a neighbourhood near you (Well, all right) Jimmy Nice, let 'em know 'bout (All right, all right) [Verse 1: Just Enuf] Well, I'ma take 'em home past memory lane Goin' 80 miles while I blow the dust off it, let me explain I'ma tell it how it was said to me same Saturday in September, forget the weather but remember the train A dead grey ghost embedded with flames, I didn't get it Hype mag, my man's room, I went and read it Said, "You wanna bomb the lines?", replied as if my shit ain't stank "Bank on it, I'ma get my credit" Every tag on the wall's like a line from the credits (Yes) Just because you seen it ain't mean that you read it (No) Mic's, markers, douse the flame Embrace darkness, grant your wish – life after Self doubt, guess I got that from my father (That's right) But my drive outweighed it by far To the real fans get 'em up, KBM the stadium we gettin' up Whoever get there first, hit us up (What? What? What? What?) [Chorus: Solo, Just Enuf & Nick Lupi] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I guess some things change We used to try to keep the neighbourhood hit Now the same dudes is tryna write the neighbourhood hit Went from backlanes to backstage and now We spray words without paint, time waits for no man And so we got no time to waste It's just me and my brothers, you chillin' with none other [Verse 2: Solo] Step up in the place with the swagger of a genuine pride It's the return of the kids bombin' mainline Spittin' rhymes written by the same drive that Had us out till daybreak hittin' the train line (Yep, yep, uh-huh) Laces strapped, tins tucked in your backpack Chasin' dreams that we traced out of graff mags (Yeah) We studied lessons from a culture of kings Who could'a known what tomorrow would bring? ([?]) See there are walls in the streets round my neighbourhood that read like photo albums (Uh-huh) Moments in time, frozen for those who know about 'em Snapshots of kids growin' up stakin' their claim And now the very same kids is tryna blow it up ([?]) And there's been some stormy weather but whatever (Whatever) Believe that me and my brothers we weather it together (Yeah) Till I'm old and grey and my words fade away (Yeah) Like plum purple in the sun's rays, I'ma rep the One Day [Chorus: Solo, Just Enuf & Nick Lupi] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I guess some things change We used to try to keep the neighbourhood hit Now the same dudes is tryna write the neighbourhood hit Went from backlanes to backstage and now We spray words without paint, time waits for no man And so we got no time to waste It's just me and my brothers, you chillin' with none other [Verse 3: Nick Lupi] Two hands Are what we made it wit', a labour of love and long days wit' it Writin' the score and settin' the stage Product of the very same pavement that plotted the gradient If I could get a taste of it I could run away with it I recall vividly the infamy attained The names that rang out through the halls that lifted me Same imagery of fame, long reins had little me Tryna write my timpani's into the same symphony Footsteps of kings in my neighbourhood streets The legendary crews and the fabled old beefs We're comin' up quick tryna figure our piece My best friends and I, no limit to the reach (Nah) Can see it in my eyes, I can't hide the pride and Privilege I feel standin' right beside 'em Theme music to the dream, the One Day team And it won't stop till that one days' seen, ya mean? [Chorus: Solo, Just Enuf & Nick Lupi] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I guess some things change We used to try to keep the neighbourhood hit Now the same dudes is tryna write the neighbourhood hit Went from backlanes to backstage and now We spray words without paint, time waits for no man And so we got no time to waste It's just me and my brothers, you chillin' with none other [Scratches: [?]] "I be in class dreamin' 'bout 50,000 fans up in the stands screamin' out"
