[Intro: Royce da 5'9"]
Yo Ivy, let me know when we rollin
We rollin? Aight..
I mean, I been through a lot, man
Tommy Boy thing, the bootleggers...
You know, life goes on, so what?
You gotta reach deep down in your heart, and pull out as much as you can
To get through what you going through
I'm living proof

[Verse 1: Royce da 5'9"]
Way down DEEP in the heart of a man who was DEEP
In the palm of the hands of the truest streets
Lives a – n***a who gives a – lyrical n***a the shivers
Step up and get hit, 'cause him or his fifth'll deliver
His mouth is a gun, the cannibal speaks
You need to do more than floss to handle the teeth
And shame on it – only thing that pops out
Whenever your Glock's out is a stick, and a flag with "Bang!" on it
His flow's out-grown his dreams
Out of account that he beams out-of-towners and hold down home
You n***as showin' up, with a lot of the same soldiers
I'm rollin' up, pushin' her outta your Range Rover
You decided to be a rider, but why would you do it
When you know you could light up my saliva like lighter fluid?
So quit writing –
'Cause 5-9 is back and he's about to spit thunder and shit lightning
[Hook: Royce Da 5'9", sample]
"Life goes on..."
Uh-huh, you thought I was done, didn't ya?
"The world keeps turning and liiiife gooooes on..."
Thought I would run, didn't ya? No!
"Life goes on!"
Never again will I, need a return
"The world keeps turning and..."
(And I will never leave the streets again)

"Life goes on!"
Uh-huh, you thought I was done, didn't ya?
"The world keeps turning and liiiife gooooes on..."
Thought I would run, didn't ya? No!
"Life goes on..."
Long as I live, I'ma continue to burn
"The world keeps turning and..."
(Na na na na na na na)

[Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9"]
My crew never call me for beef – NO! It never happens to me
That's like callin' a SWAT team when it's a cat in a tree
It's too many reasons to tell you, "N***a, please!"
You can do nothing with me, like weed with too many seeds in it
I'm more– vicious, it gets– more pathetic
You testin' somethin' more than a medic n***a, or mortician
I'm more than rap, I will rush you
For the sacks, like Warren Sapp, like "N***a, fuck you!"
I'll stuff you in a Atlanta mansion
Paint the wall with you on 'Candid Camera,' like I'm a phantom answered
Demand a ransom
Cause a fire at your momma's house and take all of the tires off of the ambulances
Of course the track fits
Mr. King Of The Small Article Every Month in 'The Source' is back!
With J Dilla, from Slum Village
You lookin' for us, we be in Rock City, n***a - come get us!
