Greenhouse Effect - Square One lyrics

[Intro] [Blueprint Speaking] In there. Beats are so ridiculous I don't know why cats think they can f** with this Ah huh. Greenhouse. Take you back to the beginning Ah huh, like this [Verse One] [Blueprint] First of all get off my dick Ain't nobody give me sh** Hard work, we deserve everything we get Back When you was dreamin' about rhyming I was grinding Sellin' Greenhouse tapes in Columbus You got ten dollars then holler at me So I can hop this Greyhound bus back to the 'Natti We used to rock shows in Dayton with Bahdaddy And if we made our gas money back then I were happy It was me, Ill, Inkwell & Manifest This was before I started buildin' with Plead The Ph5th Before Soul Position, Orphanage or The Iskabbibles Back when everything about hip hop was simple I would buy fifty blank tapes Dub 'em at home Print the inserts on my PC Sell 'em at shows I didn't want to hold the money so I gave it to Ill But that had to stop when he said he spent it on bills See hip hop, was still a hobby I did on the side And since it never made me a dime, I still had a job And collaborated only for the love of the music Not because I wanted big names to move units Holdin' your own is part of being a man Don't even ask until you've done everything that you can Even though there were a lot of times I needed a hand I still held it down to elevate me and my fam Like [Manifest talking] That's right man. We did it ourselves man Cats ain't ready for that man Cats ain't got the juice in they veins. Continue [Verse Two] [Blueprint] Uh huh I used to hop on any stage Play for free Now I only do that for fam related to me I got a higher learning Paid with it degree Realized a desk job ain't made for me I'd rather be doin' shows gettin' paid to MC I'm a first generation Weightless MC Started out slangin' tapes Made some cream When nobody else was thinkin' that way but me Took a bunch of individuals Made a team I helped acts come up but they ain't thankin' me I seen sh** I gave birth to get twisted up Cats flip sh** up Like they build sh** up It made me wanna walk away from this and give this up But then Manifest said, "Print, stick with us" So I did and made calls that probably cost me friendships But if I didn't, I would have lost this business I know my people smart enough to know the difference And not wanna beef over this when they hear this So many dreams cross paths cause we rhyme I had blinders on I saw nothin' but mine And any move I made wasn't cause I wanted to shine Because the way we were both headed, wasn't in line And I love y'all But sometimes it's hard to express it And it comes off lookin' like I'm being hard headed We could have worked it out but our pride wouldn't let us Now we gotta chalk up another life lesson [Outro] [Manifest talking] That's right. We learned from that And all it did was make us stronger Now we unstoppable man. sh**. It's Weightless. Ha. Greenhouse
