2
[Intro (?uestlove & Chrisette Michele)]
3
Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying; yesterday I saw a B-girl crying
4
I walked up and asked what's wrong,
5
She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long
6
So I told her I got something you've been waiting for
7
I got something you've been waiting for
8
[Chorus (Chrisette Michele & Black Thought)]
9
Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying; I walked up and asked what's wrong
10
She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long
11
So get your glass lift it up in the toast position
12
We getting paper like John Travolta get it
13
Cause we focused wit it we supposed to get it
14
You know me and my whole squad we so committed
15
We not the kids cooling out on the sofa with it
16
We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it
17
We getting paper like John Travolta nigga
18
[Black Thought]
19
Well I'm a downtown shooter who that?
20
The crown ruler is back
21
He kind of grew into the shape of a mack
22
Look how I do it, yo I'm taking you back
23
This how you rise down to the foundation, how sacred is that?
24
I'm from the number one place on the map
25
The generational gap with yet another sensational track
26
And we don't stress for nothing I just press the button
27
It's as simple as just making it hap
28
To all the frauds stop faking, relax
29
And to the broads if you caking
30
Then clap then shake it without breaking your back
31
I know the world been waiting for that
32
You been aching for that cuz what they playing on the station is wack
33
And I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress
34
The best is that which I accept and nothing less
35
My stacks is grotesque my squad, so fresh
36
You know its Black Thought and your boy the bro ?uest, but
37
[Chorus (Chrisette Michele & Black Thought)]
38
[Wale]
39
Hip-Hop ain't dead cuz the pulse is in us
40
I got the Everclear flow, they mimosa with it
41
We are the hope of the culture, they supposed to listen
42
And I'm supposed to pivot like I'm a forward in the league, I'm Oden with it
43
Yet don't owe them niggas nothing but potent lyrics
44
But if you ain't got the dance they revoke your spinning
45
So good rappers ain't eating they Olsen twining
46
But I'm so committed, they have grown familiar
47
With the counterfeit hitters they so-so with it, but they are Sosa with it.
48
They Mark McGuire with the written, I'm Rodriguez
49
On the road to riches this is the fork I'm hitting
50
This is the trial and error era no co-defendant
51
I push The Seed every time like I'm Cody with it
52
I said the one-hit wonders pneumonia to us
53
I don't know you niggas, hit the road my nigga
54
[Chorus (Chrisette Michele & Black Thought)]
55
[Black Thought]
56
Where my grimy figures at? look lively addressing the captain
57
Show me where your first impression is at
58
And where your dedication to the true profession is at
59
How you laugh answer me, "What kind of question is that?"
60
I'll show you where my rare essence is at, the adolescence of rap
61
The real muscle in the message of that
62
My name trouble I'm a blessing to rap
63
And you can check my stats cuz worldwide they attesting to that
64
So nigga listen you can probably learn a lesson perhaps
65
How I'm like Bobby DeNiro, Joe Pesc and them cats
66
Am I the unsung hero? oh yes if you asking anybody that's aware of the classics
67
They'll tell you I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress
68
The best is that which I accept and nothing less
69
My stacks is grotesque my squad, so fresh
70
You know its Black Thought and your boy the bro ?uest, but
71
[Chorus (Chrisette Michele)]
