Unity

[Intro (talking)] [Verse 1] I hustle and I grind when it's time to get mine Two steps ahead, never behind If my dreams come to pass, I'm gonna hook up my whole staff Can't be stiff, want my people to hold math Like my Uncle John, he gotta be the coolest of the coolest Cause sometimes cats act foolish and let the money rule us I want a career that last long like Don Shula's When I was a child my people shot her-on and puff oola But my mom, she was strong, showed us right from wrong Crossed too many paths, I might not live that long So I stayed to the narrow, on point like an arrow And prayed DJs would play my music like Mighty Sparrow When I got to the level of a MC rebel Carry cans of kick-ass and have the empty several No sell-out, before the right percent we settle See I'm righteous, so you can't tempt me devil [Hook] So lift up your lighter, put your flame in the sky Make the people think that it's the 4th of July tonight It's a celebration, time for elevation That will spread throughout the nation So put all that worry, all that stress to the side Lift up your lighter, put your flame in the sky tonight It's a celebration, time for elevation That will spread throughout the nation [Verse 2] I've seen many days rainy, cloudy, mad sunny Every penny pays so my science is the math sonny You can take everything except my craft from me All these labels wanna play my ass like the last dummy So I built with my man Rawls and we planned all Important moves to make haters lick their damn balls Cause if I had a quarter for every person that said That I couldn't rock a rhyme or freestyle off the head I'd be Bill Gates and still making raps with real statements I spit rhymes in the mind of our youth to kill Satan Cause the evil in this hood because sometimes evil seems good For survival, that's why people hustle, because it's vital It's all about the dough, get it at break neck speed Shorties know that mathematics, that a brick is a key To unlock the better days, that's street addition, you see? But yo the way these whiteys act it's like they sniffin' the D Brought us to this land and had us niggas trickin' for free If you agree, then stop, look, and listen to me Cause I'm like Moses at the sea letting the Israelites free All you gotta do is move a closer distance to see [Bridge] So lift up your lighter, so everyone can get a view Of the Lone to the Cata, Cata with the U N-I-T-Y, unity for you and I [Hook] [Verse 3] My brother's name is Jimmy, that's Jimmy Sanders My younger sister Shana Dana is a dancer Every rhyme I write is nicer than Ned Flanders The grand commander, 50's great like Alexander So you wanna talk shit to me? Don't even do that I put that on my niggas, big ash and blue blacks Here's a true fact, playing this game on my new act Calm under pressure, maintaining, while you crack Into pieces, yo I turn men to meeces Nigga you know what I mean, my slang's been in thesis For all y'all cats biting, reciting, what I'm writing Fighting like a titan, from night until it lightens I ask to God just, because like lady ma bust this Who hold it down pound for pound just like us On all levels, we stand out like a bezel Shining, yeah it's Lone Cat with perfect timing [Hook]
