[Verse 1: Chaundon]
Back in the streets of New York where I grew up
Corners where I threw up, alcoholic beverages
Listening to Hip Hop influenced by the messages
Anything less than this is totally irrelavent
Staircase rap I continue to climb
And I look good doing it so girls feel the rhyme
Going over their heads twice kind of like double dutch
But they jump to it showing that they all f** with us
I know the ledge cuz I'm standing on the edge of it
Can't handle the pressure they're on some Heath Ledger sh**
I'm strong enough to hold the weight of my genius
And not dumb it down just to lighten the load
Cuz some of yall ain't sh** like an empty commode
Type to sell your soul just to say you're 'bout to explode
I challenge all of you to win with out compromising
And get it on your own merit that would be surprising
[Hook by DJ Flash]
Back in the streets of New York
The Skyline bluer than the rocks on my watch
The architect, Chaundon
Jam like a tek with correct techniques
Back in the streets of New York
The Skyline bluer than the rocks on my watch
The architect, Chaundon
I dominate break loops
To light up the sky
[Verse 2: Chaundon]
Rooftop rap architecture of the skyline
I know its inanimate the hands say its my time
Mastered my destiny answer to who?
Not only are they small they're like ants in my view
Birds of a feather don't necessary fly
You penguins get envious when I kiss the sky
Napoleon complex because I think bigger
Nah, just convinced I ain't your ordinary n***a
My mind transcends borders
What I need a pa**port for? territories open doors for us
The vocab is flawless and enormous
I can see the world for what it is clearer than the eye of Horus
Yes I gotta have it, its written in the tablet
The apple gave me wisdom ignorant thinking it's magic
My soul is ILLMATIC the flesh can't contain it
Not half of anything I am pure bred amazing
[Hook by DJ Flash]
Back in the streets of New York
The Skyline bluer than the rocks on my watch
The architect, Chaundon
Jam like a tek with correct techniques
Back in the streets of New York
The Skyline bluer than the rocks on my watch
The architect, Chaundon
I dominate break loops
To light up the sky
