Little Brother - What I Came For lyrics

Yeah, vibe to this, DJ Flash, Little Brother
Shouts to the 919, 252, 336, 704 (yeah)
You know what it is  (Uh) , let's go to work

Yo, this been years in the makin'
And when I talk about them years
I'm talkin' 'bout the blood, sweat, and tears
From the routes I was takin'
Tryna avoid the dark cloud
Took a couple L's, never lyin' on the ground
Offer me a inch, I want the whole mile
Wouldn't thinkin' 'bout the future
Tryna live for the now
My momma want a house still
And my brother need lawyers for appeal
No deal if the terms don't appeal
Turnin' to a new page kids don't read books
Ownin' a little data can be celebrated
Endurin' the test of time is an attribute
I put my rep on the line every
Time I design a new rhyme
Y'all sketches sound kinda cute
You drawin' other conclusions
Your opinion moot
Rapper here for the bag, I need a new suit

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
It's time to do work, tell 'em
Just gimme what I came for
If you got it out the mud
You ain't scared of the dirt, tell 'em
Just gimme what I came for
Where you from? Get you some, nigga
Just gimme what I came for
Oh yeah (Oh, yeah) , oh yeah (Oh, yeah)
Tell them people what you here for

Man, life is marvelous
Word to Paul Wall, I'm with all the shit's
No matter how narrow the margin is
For the art of it, not the artifice
Gotta stay forthright
'Cause 2020 ain't shit without foresight
County boy, Wake, Durham, Guilford
And Forsyth where you can hear some
Bill Withers under porchlights settle down
Find a nice girl and just chill wit' her
Stay low and build wit' her, like Fortnite
But while my city was fast asleep
Before the South was bumpin' Master P
My Ghetto Dope was Bizzie Boyz, Nyborn
And Mixmaster D (Mixmaster D)
Who ever thought it would get passed to me
To write these songs, the fight goes on
The nights is long and regimented
So I can go on a run that's unprecedented
Them bars is comedy, King, nigga
You Eddie Griffin two pulls and a sip
Now here's to better livin'

I saw a miracle tonight
It's got me feelin' new (Yessir, yessir)
Livin' inside of a dream
Jump into a car to drive, right down 85
Comin' home to you (One time, slow down)

Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
It's time to do work, tell 'em
Just gimme what I came for
If you got it out the mud
You ain't scared of the dirt, tell 'em
Just gimme what I came for
Where you from? Get you some, nigga
Just gimme what I came for
Oh yeah (Oh, yeah) , oh yeah (Oh, yeah)
Tell the people what you here for

Tell the people what-people what-people what
Tell the people what you're here
For here for here for
Tell the people what-people what-people what
Tell the people what you're here
For here for here for
Tell the people what-people what-people what
Tell the people what you're here
For here for here for
Tell the people wh-people wh
Tell the people-people what you're here for
