[Intro: J-Red]
I'm with my man Nosson Zand, Ray Bans on
Overnight stars in the camp, so strong
We're so hot, they're lukewarm
They can say your name, then it's what? Then it's gone
[Verse 1: Nosson Zand]
My pain's stronger than the beat, stronger than the music, yeah
G-d direct my feet, I used to think you all could do it
Now I flip through the catalog, digital to an*log
Thinking back on how it all began, I been a fan for so long
But now I'm doing all I can to hold on
Used to dream, but now I'm fiending for the dawn
You might think that you're a king, then discover you're a pawn
Like J said, they can say your name and then it's gone
[Hook: Nosson Zand & J-Red]
They can say your name, then it's what? Then it's gone
They can say your name, then it's what? Then it's gone
If you know what I know, then we can be together
If you know what I know, then this will be forever
[Verse 2: J-Red]
They on that fear and loathing 'cause they got a fear of floating
I'm the cheer-up when you're low, I brought 'em here to show 'em
I'm the shogun in the dojo (What, what, como?)
You look lost, Toto, I'm a cheetah with a liter of the best for the speakers
And what's best for the beat? Well, that's the way I treat her, like my mamma
I got grammar that can drop like a hammer or an anvil for a spot on your mantle
You can't hold a candle to my canvas
I've wandered off campus, I went out on a limb
I'm hanging on my branches, the monkey on my back is about to go bananas
I know they have their cannons
I have knowledge, understanding, so we can get it on
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Nosson Zand]
I'm climbing to the top, but the top is always higher
Than where you at, no, I never look back
Put that on the track 'cause we got that fire
Yeah, I got a couple words and I got a couple phrases
Outta the haze, jumping out a couple mazes
Every word I spit left smiles on their faces
I got no time for these haters
While you question the Dealer like, "What have You dealt?"
Corrected him when he asked, "What did I felt?"
I been had the industry under my belt
The winters are cold but the summers are dope
We ride the beat like it ain't no thang
Sometimes I play around, but it ain't no game
All praise to the King
If it ain't no pain, then it ain't no gain
[Hook]
