Elementary - KnowMads

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
