9th Wonder - Get Down lyrics

[Verse 1: XL] Swear sh** is mad crazy I just pray that God saves me And if he don't I guess he might as well slay me I pave the, Earth when I walk with just the shirt that I bought RP though, never saw his art It's like Noah crashed the arc in my city now the zoo loose I hit the blunt reminisce bout kush and zulus Who knew that I would make it this far? I be k**ing birdies, y'all be staying on par Press the On-Star, they can't even save your life Ask if anyone can spare a knife, like the Red Line Would spend dimes, she got blue eyes, no Aryan though Everybody got bad calls, I'm tryna hear you fold The stories been told, the scrolls been rolled, them O's been blown That sh**'s not new to me Nobody like my mind state but failed to break through to me I need Hazeus to come back just to tutor me Tell me bout these snakes in my path to greatness Tell me how awards ain't nothing but fake sh** Because I know what my goals are in this life It's the others tryna catch bolts flying the kites Who supply the dice? I'm tryna make it big I'm tired of dark nights ripping the cig This sh** get real big when you make it in society My biggest fear is getting played k** anyone that lie to me Name known around the globe, guess the buzz real And pussies out cutting throats over drug deals So it's k** or be k**ed, or escape and save face Amazed i can beat d**h at such a young age Assured me we would blow together Didn't know those were your last days But that's the past paid [Hook: XL] Spark mics like too precise sh** darker without the lights Word is bond, carry on I gotta stay true to life (Gotta stay true to life) I gotta stay true to life (Gotta stay true to life) I gotta stay true to life (x2)
