[Skillz]
Uh huh, yeah, uh, uh
Whoo!
It's beautiful music baby
Huh, your boy Skillz, right
My man Com from the Chi
Kweli from the BK side
Hip Hop to the day that we die
So far so good
with no endin in sight
Lookin back on all the places
I done been with this mic
Let my teachers tell it,
I was supposed to be a failure
Let me tell it,
I was supposed to be
on stage in Australia
Went from sittin on the curb
with no gear to flaunt
To havin gifts with the words,
I make 'em do what I want
And I'ma stay in the front,
it's easy to the kid
Y'all always in the back
like Jeezy adlibs
If you fail to prepare,
you preparin to fail
And it's hard to see a heaven
when you livin in hell
If you lookin at it different,
you'll see a way out
How you gon' see money?
You can't see your way
off your couch
If opportunity comes,
I'ma see what its bout
You can see it in my swag,
I done figured it out
If you see doubt,
I'm thinkin that y'all
better re-route
Cause I'ma walk these dogs
till Mike Vick get out
[Hook: Skillz]
I'm thinkin
I could take over the game,
maybe I could
They sayin I should change
and maybe I should
Baby girl I'd be with you
if I could
But I'm taking over the world
and it's so far so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far, uh, so good
Uh, so far so good!
[Common]
We've come so far,
there's so far to go
Vision of a mission,
it seem impossible
Precision of a Chicago street
apostle flow
Allowin me to go to places
only God would know
Travel the land,
witnessin the battles of man
Goin up stream
with paddle in hand
Young dreams to master a plan
So I could make enough
to hit my uncle Steve
if he asks for a grand
It's been a journey,
as far as universal laws
I'm the attorney,
had to learn me
Just to burn me up,
holler to the world
to turn me up
As the game change y'all,
I let my words re-up
It was written on the walls
that success is a process
No matter how hard I fall
I know it is some progress
Notches of the ladder
I climb,
holdin a bottle of wine
So many paths to take,
I'm followin mine
[Hook]
[Talib Kweli]
Yeah, Talib Kweli
stay in the zone,
I'm leavin 'em in a phase
By now, I'm kinda used
to leavin 'em so amazed
With my man Com-bred
and Skillz,
they know the ways
Call up Virginia Slim baby,
I've come a long way from
Hoppin the train
with Rubix and, now I'm
Hoppin the plane,
I'm seasoned like o'bay
Purer than cocaine
that's whiter than Colgate
My product harder
than narcotics,
I handled the whole way
Damn it I'm so straight,
why you worry how
my pocket looks?
Y'all just sound
like y'all got pocket books,
stop and look
As long as I rock it,
Brooklyn is represented right
This is where the sun
meet the high rise,
it ain't no end in sight
I'm gonna end it right here,
I'ma end the nightmares
That you have cause you sleepin
and you actin type
Scared, I wake up like years,
say my prayer like I should
And I've come so far
cause I'm so good
