[Intro]
Once again
Awon
We're going to take them to church, you know what I'm saying
Church of hip-hop
LeProdude
Let's flex on them
[Verse 1]
Respect the selector
Salute the emcee
With the Heckler & Koch flow
Spitting greasy
Believe me, it's not easy at all to make it
Some pay they way in
And fake it till they take it
We just bake it up like keys in the oven
Feed the streets with the hip-hop
The jazz they be loving
Murder the Maschine or MPs with the buttons that be punching while you lunching on that shit with no substance
This the now culture
I’m the rap Donald Goines
Moving in the dark shadows collecting your bitcoins
These verses and tracks laid on you can’t match
I’ve been doing this since DA-88 tapes and DATs
And I’ve been focused on making it, never faking it
Realized my life thus far is dedication
To hip-hop, the culture, and to the preservation of youth communication
Through song it’s education
[Chorus]
We don’t really care about your money and your cars
Your clothes and your jewels
All we care about is bars
We want dope beats that are never subpar
The church of hip-hop says come as you are
We don’t really care about your money and your cars
Your clothes and your jewels
All we care about is bars
We want dope beats that are never subpar
The church of hip-hop says come as you are
[Verse 2]
And I’ve been focused on making it, never faking it
I can do this shit until I’m 64
I was born with the purpose to spit so raw
God’s glory on the mic reigning rhymes galore
And I can shine some more, blind you with my glow
Like I hypnotize any crowd with my flow
More dough than a pizzeria
Smoking blunts of exotic reefer in Cohibas
Pay for the feature
And I’ve been focused on making it, never faking it
You think how the hell the mix get so raw
My voice stay smooth just like velour
Front to back side to side in a 64
On 264 to the ocean front
Top down see the troopers, I can throw that blunt
Living life to the fullest, shining like the sun
Paying bills off rap, still having fun
[Chorus]
We don’t really care about your money and your cars
Your clothes and your jewels
All we care about is bars
We want dope beats that are never subpar
The church of hip-hop says come as you are
We don’t really care about your money and your cars
Your clothes and your jewels
All we care about is bars
We want dope beats that are never subpar
The church of hip-hop says come as you are
[Verse 3]
I've never been focused like this before
You know it’s Don’t Sleep, dropping hits galore
Always critically acclaimed when we hit the tour
It’s complete domination when we kick the door
Like Biggie and Preem when he waved the 4
Living life fuck death, whether rich or poor
My wealth is good health, totally appreciation
Staying on the righteous path, no deviation
Make sure it’s on tape when they press record
I’m known for one takes, it’s the breaths of Lord
I’m possessed by the spirit, dropping liquid swords
Everything is on wax that’s the proper format
For these raw ass tracks, other rappers are doormats to walk on
Your CDs I break up weed, on surpass you by eons
I am a phenom
[Chorus]
We don’t really care about your money and your cars
Your clothes and your jewels
All we care about is bars
We want dope beats that are never subpar
The church of hip-hop says come as you are
We don’t really care about your money and your cars
Your clothes and your jewels
All we care about is bars
We want dope beats that are never subpar
The church of hip-hop says come as you are
