What You In It For?

Lyrics

[Chorus: Pegz, Mantra, Illy & Jimmy Nice] What you in it for? The sexual intercourse? The jets? The fame? Success from the big awards? We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man What you in it for? Respect from the inner-core? Connect with the world expressin' our hidden thoughts We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man [Verse 1: Pegz] Yeah, yeah Droppin' heaters on my hip-hop bottom feeders From Yarrawonga to Rarotonga in Polynesia My brother's keeper, the provocative speaker Fuck the police, I duck and weave like an underachiever (Obese Crew!) Follow the leader, spittin' quality Critics watchin' like Swiss chronology (Come on!) Bitches plottin' like British colonies In a world, every second child's livin' in poverty (Yep) I try thinkin' positive and livin' properly But raw shit runs through my veins like criminology When Obese drops diggers coppin' lobotomies Sisters lockin' their doors and finger poppin' erotically Who want it hardcore? Takin' a batterin' Cranial cavity's crushed by the weight of my gravity Capital P, parody navigatin' with clarity Collaborate on a track, marinatin' the narrative [Chorus: Pegz, Mantra, Illy & Jimmy Nice] What you in it for? The sexual intercourse? The jets? The fame? Success from the big awards? We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man What you in it for? Respect from the inner-core? Connect with the world expressin' our hidden thoughts We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man [Verse 2: Jimmy Nice] Gimme more Turn that mic up a little bit more, homie ([?]) This for the fans who feel like they know me Chloe, nineteen, say the nights get lonely Finds comfort in knowin' she ain't the only Homie, I'm the one, no second, no third I'm in it for the wax embedded with my words Spit it for the team (One Day) that gave me my self-esteem Shit was Hoop Dreams sittin' on the curb, that's word To the first rhyme written, my first time You and I forever, baby, who was I kiddin'? Mum, I think I'm losin' my religion, (Got a) bag full of chrome I got no dad at home, who's trippin'? (Huh?) I'm in it for the shit that make sense on the fifth, six listen Not them fish sticks you cookin' in the kitchen (Nah) Illy, Pegz, Mantra (Yes), million questions, really no answers 'Fore the time's out though, I'ma find out, yo (Uh, uh) [Chorus: Pegz, Mantra, Illy & Jimmy Nice] What you in it for? The sexual intercourse? The jets? The fame? Success from the big awards? We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man What you in it for? Respect from the inner-core? Connect with the world expressin' our hidden thoughts We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man [Verse 3: Mantra] All right now, yo, yo Cool, collected, and fuel injected Kid with a next to invisible vampirical reflection Off the record we take 'em to school On the record we playin' for the fool with this unholy method My ghoulish essence is ever-present in many sectors Even truly intrepid adventurers at full attention Phaze always call the blessed with effortless eminence I paved stairways to heaven with my full intentions Rule essentially is step back I move from a step back, step over the next act Rep rap 'cause it's what we best at Rocket like a jetpack, flyin' overhead, silhouetted in jet black Bless tracks incessantly, Pegz back With a brand new album, this is an x-axis So why wouldn't I credit it with a rhyme? An insight into hip-hop's most mystifyin' mind [Chorus: Pegz, Mantra, Illy & Jimmy Nice] What you in it for? The sexual intercourse? The jets? The fame? Success from the big awards? We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man What you in it for? Respect from the inner-core? Connect with the world expressin' our hidden thoughts We in it for the love, man, we in it for the ride We in it for the love, man [Verse 4: Illy] I'm into this shit To mean somethin', flatly refuse to leave wonderin' One of few acts influencin' the youngin's Pegz back in the booth, got the scene jumpin' hoops This for dudes reppin' my crew since way back, day one'in' Those goin' against it, we rub your noses in it Fuck 'em, I'll succeed by myself, never needed your help Bear witness, lay claim to my business Way back in oh-seven nobody cared to listen When I told you what I set to achieve on "Before I Leave" On the last Pegz LP, fuck you gon' tell me, man? I didn't call it? Say that with a straight face Rapped since eighth grade, overnight success was late Labelled a one-hit wonder, then the second album smashed Now them rats trace maps of The Chase I stated what I had planned, you watchin' it come to hand Fuckin' four years late, but you're startin' to understand What I'm in it for
