Straight from The Vil - Slum Village feat T3 & Focus
(Hook)
Straight from the vil
The joke's on you
Drop up the armies and school
This is more chronic than the garden movers
I gotta take you off here
React quick
It's the world that I live in
Straight from the vil
The joke's on you
Drop up the armies and school
These equal streets will meet you halfway
This when they get to all your beans in the interblock so going in don't look cute
(Verse)
I was raised in the slumber, now wonder
I crawl from the under, and still hit 3 light numbers
Roll me the 6 back like I did daily plunges
2 sides getting defeat but never held punches
Boxed in, not him
I defend like shaolin, my style is drunk and crowds and functions
I perform, some get drawn, it's calligraphy
Bronze, they respond to its chemistry
Evil rap trilogy
I hold my city up, my whole back killing me
3 1 3, I emerge
Skyline great, no birds
Who am I? the best of the worst
The last of the cursed, the past of the church
I am everything that's conversed into verse
Ages, I gotta make this work
Patience ain't here, get this work
Basic

? you know why? Who turned that?
(Verse)
Uh, the story started once upon a time
And my father's stories started with a corny line
Same pain as is the classics or the agents
The very same drama that gets acted out on stages
The same kind of scribble getting drafted on these pages
That mean 2 packs, a quarter pound of crazy but courageous
Masterful words of art, thought up and created
And I ain't paying anyone to play it
And since I'm rather going 50 savages with accolades
Praises like they actually care more about the substance than the wages
See the difference is I care about consumers 'cause they listenin
It's almost like I know em all by faces
My mama told me stupid is contagious
So I'm runnin far as gun, far away from all these majors
Plus I carry far from mine and check my age kids
I'm a student of all music not microwave hits
I learned from legends how to do it so it's ageless
Timeless, didn't wanna be famous
I'm just blessed I had a chance to meet my favorite artist
Played this game well, trained with the smartest
Rain, snow, sleep heel august to august
Sun up to sun up, my work ethic flawless
Kids had to eat well, daddy ain't a dead beat
Didn't want them thinking baloney's the only red meat
So deep heap well
I ain't a snake, higher low key
When I'm in my home I can sleep well
This is do or die, first week sales
And in the midst of this mess I won't bring veil
Power of the air, practiced do re mi scales
Looking for retails in countries where they eat snails
(Outro)
Yea it started once upon a time
I guess it is my fault it started with a corny line
