Knowmads - Elementary lyrics

Yeah my homie Pete lay it down
Real fat on the bass
That be keeping all my party
People packed in the place
With they hands to the sky see
The strap on they waist
Talk shit, gone quick, vanish without a trace
But the music keep us calm
When we hearing them thoughts
Along with another voice
Crystal clear as my pops
He telling me I need to watch
When this kid is living sinful
I know life is tough though
We wish it was simple
Well let me break it down like
One part at a time
You see the easier the money
Means the harder I grind
When the moment much more than
Just bars in a rhyme
Like what you think the sun’s for
So my stars could align
Shit this art is divine and whether
You like it or not
I’m using my heart and my mind
With every line that I jot
I been patient, working hard
I’ll take my time at the top
Ironic we shoot for the stars
Still I'd die for a shot
Cause when you climb in my thoughts
I keep it so elementary
Like A-B-C (cough, cough) L-M-N-O-P
Something like that or at least that's
What they was telling me
Still in class I always finished
Last at the spelling bee
My focus was stolen in a trance by the melody
These thoughts I was holding through my hand
Channeled energy out my pen I'm taking a
Stand like I'm Kennedy
Still acting like my friend when
You planning with the enemy
Man especially when they
Questioning my integrity
The truth is a necessity
On Cruz like Penelope
Moving to Tel Aviv and yelling
Peace to the world
How ya ego more swollen than
The knees on ya girl

I don’t wanna say that I made it
But, I did yeah, yeah
I don’t wanna say that I’m doing it
But this kid is yeah coming up right now
Coming up right now baby coming up right now
But, you already knew that though

Had a mind of my own son I grew up fast
Just an old soul coming up
With new school raps
From Seattle in the city where
It rains it pours
But them clouds let the sun
Through and raised ya boy
I ain't never been one to act my age before
Why my style ain't never been
The same as yours
I been seeing things different
Since grade school y'all
My Block (Remix) was my favorite song
Always told myself I'd be
Something major lord
When I'd never even been up on a stage before
Taking jump shots til it got dark
Had the Nike Shox
Junior high walking with this chick
Cause I liked to talk
Kid got jealous had to prove if
I could fight or not
Remember when my bike got jacked
Must've sliced the lock
Sitting on the school bus bored
So I'd write a lot
Back then I'd never have to
Trip about writer's block
Saving up so I could buy some speakers
Ya the type that knock
Used to get home after practice
Like 5 o'clock
Mom made dinner and she worked
She was something else
I was in another world
In high school- Roosevelt
High during school they impeached
The class president
I was writing rhymes instead of
Trying to get a letterman
Something always told me in my soul
That this was meant for me
Until we grown old since the
Days of elementary kid

I don’t wanna say that I made it
But, I did yeah, yeah
I don’t wanna say that I’m doing it
But this kid is yeah coming up right now
Coming up right now baby coming up right now
But, you already knew that though

It could all pass in the blink of an eye
So tonight we make it last
Hold your drink to the sky
As we take a trip back to 2005
Thinking time moves fast
Homie now we've arrived

Said it could all pass in the blink of an eye
So tonight we make it last
Hold your drinks to the sky
As we take a trip back to 2005
Another day another classic
Homie now it's our time

It could all pass in the blink of an eye
So tonight we make it last
Hold your drink to the sky
As we take a trip back to 2005
Thinking time moves fast
Homie now we've arrived
Said it could all pass in the blink of an eye
So tonight we make it last
Hold your drinks to the sky
As we take a trip back to 2005
Another day another classic
Homie now it's our time, now it’s our time
