[Verse 1: Element]
I'm back and Reloaded
After my faculty's noticed
From writing raps in these notebooks
So when the cla** taking notes I'm just
Chilling actually focused on my whole rhapsody, stoic
I think she pa**ively know it but she should actually know that
I just don't give a damn quit getting so livid ma'am
No stint of detention can just fix my attention span
You're pissed that I give a chance for kids to live in a trance
Cuz nobody's got the balls, they rise to a sitting stance with a glance
You can see this world is f**ed up times a hundred
And the ones who f**ed it up the same ones who run it
Y'all say that you've had enough when you're the ones who've done it
That to me just seems a little goddamn redundant
We need to rise in the midst of these needful times
And to do it I'm preaching rhymes with the effect of freeing minds dream of skies
Of blue when everything's dark and nothing's seeming fine
Trust me with this music I will take you to the gleaming light
[Chorus]
In the New World we don't spray bullets we spray knowledge
We don't drop out of high school, but f** college
We don't disrespect our elders, we pay em' homage and
Rappers quit lying in their rhymes and keep it honest
[Verse 2: Element]
Did you miss those lines the fifty times we f**ing said it?
We dreamed of it, saw it, and lived for it, then bled it
We're no longer in the box with starved eyes from edits
So what's it gonna take to give us motherf**ers credit?
We the dopest and you know this sh** suppose this was unnoticed
You really think if we weren't big we'd have to go and close this?
This isn't just some rhymes to hear and if we only flow, sh**
We might as well just write rap for the radio and go big
But know this the music is the fuel behind the movement
Truth is we do no biz but New World is a-booming
Blooming inside minds of what we call our students
So even if they skipping school they're not considered truant
Qday and Traore flew straight in my way
When Richie came to rage New World's due date arrived
Play the last couple of records something's missing there and I say
It's the motherf**ing Element, that's why that sh** is my name
[Chorus]
