[Intro]
You know who it is
It's N0va. AKA TRACK THE RIPPER
Shoutout to my boy Noise System
Always bringing the fire
Y'all better listen in on this one
[Hook]
It's been a long time since y'all heard it from NOV
Etch the Blueprint in TDOT I'm earning my Home
EYO It's N to the IZZO . V to the IZZAY
Wasn't born in the Six but
[Verse 1: N0va]
Spent all this time concerned with my vision
Took a wrong turn – trapped now I work for the system
Book and street smart I earned my stern intuition
Grabbing O's and making grams That's how we learning division
Trap spots – stay low - play no soldiers game
Always poker face tryna blend in where the smokers hang
Composure gained – never fighting for that poster Fame
Third eye open every time it see the dosier flame
Carrying so much stress that I got shoulder pain
Hidden secrets y'all can never find the folder name
Being dopes in my blood Got no sober veins
Straight stunting for these hoes without no gold and chain
I paint a picture worth a thousand words
Using nun more than a couple-of-rhymes
All those times I hustled and grind
Anectodes of couple a crimes
All the pain just stuck in my eyes
Prophetize when the trouble arrive
I'm Optimized to be stuck in my prime
[Hook]
Transforming to a beast when the ba** go hard
White hills on my desk like my face so scarred
EYO It's N to the IZZO . V to the IZZAY
Wasn't born in the Six but you know I rep my city
[Verse 2: N0va]
See my connect, and leave his pad with no traces
If I hear sirens then its fast to the races
Nothing in the bag getting wasted
Cuz we smoke it all out – till we slackin in stasis
You homies shouldn't brag if you basic
Or get caught in a bad situation
Yeah I'm talking trash cuz I'm wasted
This for the people need a slap in they faces
Better wake up wake up they gotta cash in they payments
If lifes a game I got a hand full of aces
Always find my fellow humans lack innovation
Im grabbing intel report back to the spaceship
My past is blurry cuz my flask getting faded
We couldn't smoke at home what we w/rapped in the basement
So we started whip sessions making tracks on the pavement
24/7 hustle – we lacking patience
Success on my mind high standards for changes
[Hook]
I know It's been a long time since y'all heard it from NOV
Etch the Blueprint in TDOT I'm earning my Home
EYO It's N to the IZZO . V to the IZZAY
Wasn't born in the Six but y'all know I rep my city
[Verse 3: N0va]
Focus my sound
My mixtape spread like dope in the town
So everything I do now's a straight poke at the crown
Taking out heads like I be smoking a pound
Make em swallow they pride like they choking it down
Scared to be in a movie theater joking around
With my girl, all the crowd faced like joker the clown
It's like seen this before The News Broken it down
We hear the shots going off and Croak on the ground
Families couldn't cope with it now
Before that happens though I wanna be quoted
Cuz I'm young and devoted
I'm stuck in a moment while you taking snaps to yo gram but none are in focus
Stunting on media never part of my motive
I do my own thing – ima be a throne king
Flew out the nest before I even grown wings
Ima snatch the chains and melt em so I own rings
And give em all out to my squad so we can all bling
