Please don't loose yourself MI: Just try Sitting watching all those changes that surround yourself MI: Let's try No no no no o o o o [Verse 1: M.I] Think outta the box Break off the locks Tear down the gates Pull all the stops Bang on the cars Wake up the cops Just play the game Ignore the scores – WIN Sometimes takes the loss Lace up the shoes Pull off the socks Break down the rules Rewrite the laws Do what you want The world is yours – YEAH Welcome to a long line of great legends Promise eLDee when we met, I'm gonna get him Modenine told me the goal is more brethren Ruggedman showed me the road to Mocheddah Dagrin set the street on fire with raw shit Ice prince showed us how to record hits Olamide is changing the game...we're all kings Now is your time to rule, come on live [Chorus] Say I MI: There are gonna try to break us up I don't believe in all those rules and stuff like you do MI: Put us in little boxes, indigenous rap, hard core rap. You know haha And I… MI: Fuck them ...don't believe in all those boxes you put yourselves through MI: Hiphop is your story, is your feeling, is your life Oh oh oh… Everyday… MI: Its whatever you say it is That you think about what you wanna do MI: And the world is going to hear your story Oh Oh Oh….. MI: In your language Please don't loose yourself Sitting watching all those changes that surround yourself MI: Just be amazing, just be great, just be real No no no no o o o o [Verse 2: M.I] We are the ones, we are the team We are the sons, we are the dream We are the light, so join the beam Don't let them put walls in between You are the voice the choice in you Tell them the truth and touch the youths Each one shall have a new recruit To all reach the top we must commute – SHARE They say don't change the sound I say that new shit must be found I know to build you break the ground Focus on love and not amounts I wish you well, I wish you well I hope you blow, I hope you sell I hope you connect and I hope you gel And one day like me you have a story to tell Cos…I [Chorus] I don't believe in all those rules and stuff like you do Yea [Verse 3: Pryse] It's Pryse!! Yeah I pledge allegiance to the game Pledge I'll never trade the love I came for the fame 4 years after college I will do it all again All the blood, sweat and tears we just utilize the pain Yeah… I pledge to cut my own path I borrow the cutlass I do the work last last Old or new school pledge will never cut class And if I fall behind I pledge to never carry last Yea… I promise that I'll be the one That others will build upon I promise that I will go leave the markings on the wall Fuck what we agreed upon, I'll rap and I'm singing I'm trapping I'll do it all They say punch line o ja owo mo Well some like Martell others feeling Alomo I pledge to stay connected to the animals Take it to my guys, tell other rappers that 'am a cannibal [Verse 4: CKay] Oh C Kay Won pemi bad musician Won pemi bad producer Won pemi eeee all of the above Breaking all the rules like an officer Won pemi Ajebutter Won ti sope kolefo bi helicopter Well I don't believe in all those rules and stuff like you do... 'Cos I know the sun will shine on me And I know the rain will fall for me And I know the wind will guiding me To the height where everyone can see Oh, Everyday I'll be counting my blessings Confessing, confessions of blessings Until all of my niggas are balling [and] All of the whips is foreign, all of the whips is foreign [Chorus] I don't believe in all those rules and stuff like you do Yeah!
