Ya’ll already know who it is And we’re here to pray for ya’ll Ha Look All my dome thoughts be permanent like the firmament Immovable sitting on pillars haters can’t circumvent My prayers when they all try to wing it throughout their turbulence They’re mad cause I ease through my pain soon as my perk is set That’s God’s work ears to the preacher we all deserve to vent My church is meant for all of scriptures to break the surface yes No temptation Adam and Eve breathing the serpents breath Liars are the fruits to their nature they’re here to hurt and threat Anything you build for this culture vultures are all content They couldn’t stop the flow of my blood and that’s with a tourniquet I’m up next that’s why I don’t care which one of the turns I get That’s why I leave a mark like a Sharpie this ink is permanent Djokovic in Wimbledon the way my music is serving nets Dot coms and all of it is that the reason them jerks depressed Most of them cappers get twisted off cause I’m turning heads I’ll pray for y’all the tables have turned which one I’m serving next Amen You should never put a rapper before me That’s sinful now can I get a Amen You should respect us before we pop up like your neighbors now let me hear it Amen You know the name if you say it in vain then I’ll be praying for you Amen Don’t let me catch you stealing bars you may catch a barrage of them you ain’t gon’ make it Now put your prayers in the air You’ll get served on Sundays like Kanye was up in here Jesus Christ I wrote this on Satan’s chair Counting heads word to the pastor I’m cooking angel hairs Before the Big Bang there was me I’m royalty I’ll kill a feature like Cain and split it like the sea Been doing this for many moons on repeat Trying to reach the masses all of my plans are concrete I fill a void when I put in my work Just ask around forget a theory I’ll flatten your earth Crack a dome or two when you really him they throw stones at you The show don’t stop like a miracle I’ll perform a few They wanted me to give up the ghost I’m back on the 11th hour and my spirit ain’t broke ‘Cause these are my scrolls and it can translate into gold I’m cold even King James couldn’t make it his own Amen Amen You should never put a rapper before me That’s sinful now can I get a Amen You should respect us before we pop up like your neighbors now let me hear it Amen You know the name if you say it in vain then I’ll be praying for you Amen Don’t let me catch you stealing bars you may catch a barrage of them you ain’t gon’ make it If my body is the temple the whole entire world is my alter Universal thoughts banned through miseducation they caught you I’m only able to talk and march forward because of what my forefathers fought for Nothing less or no more The school to prison pipeline enforced for a lifetime Government agents established you think they’re here to fight crime You only write rhymes I write rhymes but also specialize in not being in my right mind I’m genius Like Muhammad meets Einstein combined minds spit a razor decapitate your jugular vein no lifeline It’s a facade artist accepting these demonic awards Then thanking a god but they’re not thanking Allah I only praise the giver of life The One who created four generations that resulted in Jesus the Christ The one who came in person to save without an invite To raise up one from among us to the blind he’d give sight Amen You should never put a rapper before me That’s sinful now can I get a Amen You should respect us before we pop up like your neighbors now let me hear it Amen You know the name if you say it in vain then I’ll be praying for you Amen Don’t let me catch you stealing bars you may catch a barrage of them you ain’t gon’ make it Let us pray I pray for those spitting for a deal they’ll never receive I pray for those signed to contract only meant to deceive I pray for those with big dream and blocked vision For emcees that accept money from drug companies and stocks from prisons I pray for those paid to pump poison For money they though would liberate but ultimately destroyed them I pray for the companies that employed them they took advantage just to exploit them they’re annoying I stay clear to avoid them

Yeah Ya’ll already know who it is Ha Look Too many rappers wanna hold on to my drive like they carpooling Try to hyper speed their careers because I’m star cruising Wanna mess with me ‘cause their algorithm will start moving Am I the drug are they the feigning I guess they are using Me to get ahead of the game and get so far in music Try to piggy back off careers listen that’s kinda stupid I’m here pick a bone any bone I have to do it Let my art write this put pain in joints interrupt that movement For being lazy that’s suffocating I’m breathing vaguely Acting like we good to deceive me greatly they really hate me That type of shit will get son blocked just for being shady I don’t blame it on their Distrokid because they’re CD baby Or Tunecore ‘cause I do more I’m extremely stating That I won’t let them eat off of me when they see me plating Watching when the table is set trust me they’re really waiting Waiting for my tips on the low listen that real degrading I ain’t serving any plates to let them eat off me Y’all can forget about a feature I rather be off beat Don’t lean on me when you’re hungry don’t you feed off me How dare you try to feed off me Don’t you feed off me I ain’t serving any plates to let them eat off me Y’all can forget about a feature I rather be off beat Don’t lean on me when you’re hungry don’t you feed off me How dare you try to feed off me Don’t you feed off me Some of them want to use or to be used by you Make them aware of the truth and they’re confused by you I see it all the time damned if you do or don’t Damned if you know you’re damned if you do or don’t that’s a double bind A dream deferred is a catalyst to a troubled mind But lack of reciprocation is law of nature undermined I keep giving they keep taking while getting nothing back in return They’re on to the next like speed dating They’re in a haze that’s kinda tricky they’re dream chasing Then glide right past you when they’re on a roll they’re cheap skating Back biting the entire squad how are we tasting Claimed it was war now we’re peacemaking Keith keep banging Down my neck breathing on me trying to feed off me I walk calmly carry a big stick and speak softly You rappers lack manners I only eat after two are served and after the work is done You can’t understand us I ain’t serving any plates to let them eat off me Y’all can forget about a feature I rather be off beat Don’t lean on me when you’re hungry don’t you feed off me How dare you try to feed off me Don’t you feed off me I ain’t serving any plates to let them eat off me Y’all can forget about a feature I rather be off beat Don’t lean on me when you’re hungry don’t you feed off me How dare you try to feed off me Don’t you feed off me Yeah fasting is prescribed for those that know You know what I’m saying You hungry thirsty emcees It’s Gonz! You want a seat at the table You wanna feed off me I know a thousand yous It's not new to me I’ve seen it all before I’ve been down this road Fool me once not twice It ain’t happening And I can recognize your traits From a mile away You tried it you failed and I can’t blame you You bailed My likeness is never for sale GoatSquad Maybe in the past you’d get me I was so blind Would have gave you blood my sweat tears the whole nine Had to cut the fat I’m back that means its go time And I got a circle of heavy hitters to cosign I ain’t serving any plates to let them eat off me Y’all can forget about a feature I rather be off beat Don’t lean on me when you’re hungry don’t you feed off me How dare you try to feed off me Don’t you feed off me I ain’t serving any plates to let them eat off me Y’all can forget about a feature I rather be off beat Don’t lean on me when you’re hungry don’t you feed off me How dare you try to feed off me Don’t you feed off me

Celebrated 03:07
Yeah Ya’ll already know who it is Ha Ayo First Official this beat fire Ayo K Banger Look All I need is I me myself and I Lyrically inclined plain and simple it is me within the sky If you didn’t get the message I just told you I was fly Got some room under my wings if you wanna take a ride Ride with me celebrating my life simply If that’s the wave I’m just taking in what the tide gives me Keep it ten dimes that’s a hundred listen my mind’s witty So bear with it ‘cause every line that I write is grizzly There’s vivid proof that I lived it through others died quickly Murdered from the pen once I jot it down then a life’s missing With every line that applies with rhymes they apprise quickly You see me stalling I got my reasons I am pissing I’m taking leaks watching my drip favorite sneaks Look before you talk why listen watch what you say to me I play for keeps organically winning most of y’all pay for cheats That’s why I celebrate every moment this spinning record speaks Go big and win big I celebrate it Be real and stay real I celebrate it Work hard achieve goals I celebrate it Believe it when I tell you is on me I celebrate it Go big and win big I celebrate it Be real and stay real I celebrate it Work hard achieve goals I celebrate it Believe it when I tell you is on me I celebrate it Despite today’s challenges struggle has its advantages We celebrate in this life for scars bruises and callouses We made it and defied the averages of the savage and talentless Now we’ve been shitting all over competition like laxatives We invested a lot and the returns weren’t the maximums We had a lot to learn navigating the narrow passages Now that things have opened up the wannabes are showing up We signed ourselves before contracts big before blowing up You down on your luck so what go on and create it Celebrate these small wins player you gotta make it That’s what we mean by made it manifestating Instead of waiting for that mystery God we’re taking it San Pellegrino pop Martinelli’s we’re celebrating Blue collar rap crushing main streamers we’re elevating Online since ‘95 get thee behind me I’m telling Satan Goatsquad going in for the win we’re celebrating Go big and win big I celebrate it Be real and stay real I celebrate it Work hard achieve goals I celebrate it Believe it when I tell you is on me I celebrate it Go big and win big I celebrate it Be real and stay real I celebrate it Work hard achieve goals I celebrate it Believe it when I tell you is on me I celebrate it Lives lost rising costs while being tried by force Under the gun tribal laws Ownership from mine to yours via holocaust Behold the pale horse parable narrated Only to be later confiscated promises made to persuade Those claimed to be loved but really hated The prerequisites of greatness Celebrate it
