[Verse 1]
But there's no map that can charter us
Shooting for the stars wasn't far enough
Bars up, I don't settle
So I shot for the goal, got closer to the silver medal, bronze medal
Sometimes I didn't even, place
So I thought I'd shoot for the space and land on a cloud
It dawned on me and bullets rang out
What I did to get there, do to stay there, my crew bang out
Good news travels faster than bad news, I'm movin' up now
Listen to Rakim then Move the Crowd
Or Lakim Shabazz, got pockets down
Locked in pure righteous, no option now
Stock up since 12/76 to be the first
That was the date that slated his birth, a statement on earth
The shots rang out, then he fired back worse
A heightened sense of capability, supplier think he dealin' me?
Who's kidding who? This ain't Who's on First
Not the joker that missed the deck, I'm the ace
I'm the poker face chip with the chip's respect
Took the oath, stay rep the West, travel the world
Whatever it's worth, I'll wear the shit on my chest
The first day of the rest of my death
Never been ready for yet, I'ma stay right here
I'm like, "Bet," no life, no fear, rather deal with stress
The price twice my original debt
Nevertheless, never the rest like me, likely
In spite of my pain, I say what I think
Mean what I say, never play the people, repent
It's E-V reppin' Dilated People events
Let's go
