[Intro]
Dieing to stay relevant(Where they at now?)
Bullsh** for the hell of it(Where they at now?)
They gon' keep on selling it(Where they at now?)
I don't know(Where they at now?)
n***a i don't know(Where they at now?)
You tell me
Wish i could resurrect them soul singers
Wish i could resurrect them soul singers
[Verse 1]
Wish i could resurrect them soul singers
I pray to god their soul lingers
Now a days rappers are clutching the mic with four fingers
No opposable thumbs, got a n***a closing his lungs
From hot air that's spoken by bums
How projected, its like they hot boxing in a whip
Inhaling the vibes spitting toxic from their lip
Taking a mental note, have the stuff to promote
To stay afloat, this fool ? wouldn't spit it under oath, uh
Over saturated, unoriginal rappers made it
The flood gates activated above, I navigated my love
Evaporated for OG's
Who give a f** about the music that my soul needs
I'd rather post up in the nosebleeds than court side
Where n***as marry the game, but they divorce pride
I get a birds eye view, then i observe my true feelings before i say the words "I do"
Nothing wrong with chasing paper yo I'll chase it with ya
Nothing wrong with selling art just don't erase the picture
Yea, have some pride about yourself before
You show a side that you can't hide about yourself, uh
You feeling old, in a young man's game, so one can't blame
You bragging about that one champagne
But the youngins you perceive as a threat, could use a seasoned vet
For perspective that we forget
[Hook/Bridge]
But we won't stop
Where they at, where they at, where they at, where they at now?
But we won't stop
Where they at now?, where they at now?, hey
But we won't stop
Where they at, where they at, where they at, where they at now?(I don't know)
But we won't stop
Where they at now?, where they at now?, hey
[Verse 2]
So i use to play, Super Nintendo
Visualizing Queen's bridge, through a project window, memories get rekindled
Back when grades raised the bar for the art form
Got a lot of stars but no one's playing that part for him
At least be nice when your pen writes, either speak life
Or take your craft to greater heights, its like
Somebody in the game said
"No shame in sounding brain dead, matter of fact it'll make your fame spread"
Go make a toon, take it to the moon
Major label coon feed you watermelon by the tablespoon
It use to be authenticity we claiming, some how its about the real, while that's strictly entertainment
A slippery slope, the balance looking visibly broke
Can't even recognize the sh** that we wrote
Its like, why we making music?
Whats the reason behind this?
And how do you define timeless?
Is it that?
[Outro]
Where they at now? Where they at now, hey
