lyrics

Just pause when we move (2x)
(Chorus)
You betta pause when we moving Cause we know just what we doing
Cut the old dope and make it brand new Cause raw it’s way too strong for you (2x)
(Verse 1)
Yo yo
Look I up Check it out Write it down
If you have to
We been here before you
And sure to outlast you
Perfect Faith
Give us the worst
We transform the shit
Divine work
On earth they call it the alchemist
Job to survive
By a means
That you can find
Get down dirty on the grind
And make it clean in time
Huh
And singing praying
Lord please help me
You see my gourd empty
The snakes down here
they either one
Trying to kill me or tempt me
Duplicate my craft and try to exempt me And I know you sent me
As the authentic document
Not just to keep it real
But to reveal what it really meant
Not just to keep it real
But to reveal what it really meant
And if my pockets ill coming up with lint I’m still filthy rich homie don’t get it bent Point blank period no comma that’s it Just quit
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Yo
Fire don’t need splainin’
You been told it’s hot stop complaining Now blistering ya seeking that easing Cause the weak shit you rather believe in I’m try to tell ya
This is ain’t the watered down stuff
they been serving
Just a pinch will have you
Making your bench on the curb and Struggling tryin to get your life right
Up on the ledge
gripping the edge tight
So you can let go yo,
or get pulled up
Keep dying from thirst
or overflow your cup
And this hard juice we pouring
Will knock a wild beast down on the floor and Humble him,
settle score and
then he'll be cool
like you never saw him
Teaching math
On the behalf of them that taught him
Now pause, grab gems
Tuck’em and keep moving
(Chorus)
