[Verse 1]
Believe Dat
Whatever's in the past, just leave that
Common misconceptions of Maestro being a leaned back, lazy-sounding, ghetto wannabe. Fam
I'm never less. I'm always more than what you perceive, akh
I speak facts that hold a foundation of disregarded opinions
I know criminal minds asking for millions
I know despicable minds asking for minions. Preposterous prerogatives
Dreaming of squeezing Triggs like they're bear hugging Gillian
The system's getting them off the radar
Overload of skinny jeans and Huaraches, and Supercolours, and a couple puffers, leggings and Uggs. It ain't hard
To overlook and not have faith in half this generation
But I disapprove. I'm not a hater
Long as you got control, there's nothing wrong with instincts being drum major
Long as I can speak I know my speech'll reach someone that can reach out to others
Yes, I do believe in my sisters and brothers
[Chorus]
In my zone and out of it, cause it's no fly
To those who died before I, I pray they hold tight
Know I believe in myself and my soul shines
Believe dat, believe you and we'll both rise (x2)
[Verse 2]
Believe you and then maybe some things'll start to change
Don't be thrown off, cause when someone is doing something right some people start to hate
How you think I feel about having these bars for days
It's only ever since I started lookin' in from out
Rather than lookin' at mysteries that I started saying
We all are one so if I believe then so should we, and
Oversee the benefit of people overseas
If you been knowing me then know it, G. I am Hip Hop
Openly writing, speaking, until the system's ticked off
Rather than going tits up, I'll hold it down for you
The highest form of knowledge is love. I hope you'd fight for me same way I'll go real wild for you
Could say I'm cooler than most
But I see it foolish to boast
Tell all my dudes it is known, the minute I blow
We'll all be ruling the globe
Up till I'm ghoulish and ghost, I believe in it, and
All my believing will get with more than a mule and a note to play on, and
A manor (manner) that's bigger than Drayton
[Chorus]
