    [Verse 1: Erick Arc Elliott]
    Before the tours have filled the calendar
    I was in Brooklyn, smokin' Cali bud
    And I accepted rap, eyes red from that
    5 AM flights, eyes red from that
    Mr. wouldn't cop the white one if it came in black
    Frequent 30 cities while you're witnessin' my chicken scratch
    Type of shallow nigga, fuck and give your lady back
    Constructed in the lab, Flatbush where they raised me at
    Now I lost some friends, but fuck it we don't need 'em
    We barely friends before and we don't talk for different reasons
    Mom's all sad, pops gon' snap
    Make some difference in this world before your mind goes black
    How can a nigga do his homework when his mom's on crack?
    How can I produce a record that be equal to that?
    Every time I play some new shit, I'm just thinking it's whack
    My motivation for the youth is how we bringin' it back
    [Verse 2: Zombie Juice]
    Bringin' it back, bringin' it back (here we go again)
    Been waitin' so long it’s like they use to that crap
    Hip-Hop been my life, I'm just used to the facts
    Sellin' dope not an option, ain't new to the trap
    Faggot niggas wanted the fame, they used to the back
    My niggas boardin' a plane, Insta vid that
    I'm confident as ever, my tolerance is low
    For hatin' mothafucker's doubtin' me like I ain't dope
    Crack, say the word chap, I leave a skull cap
    Morbid with the four fifth and the boss pit
    Torture, hot, burn it, like a perm quick
    My melodies is heaven sent, y'all ain't heard shit
    [Verse 3: Issa Gold]
    Old days, back before the rappin' and my aura swankin'
    Youthful savage, used to dream of passion, now we make it happen
    Rap disasters, overlord to rappin' actors, hustling talents
    Spittin' average 'til my kin descended upon this planet
    Rare to see, Sirius Star B, I'm a Star Seed
    My light-beam across the nation, changin' tastes, unitin' races
    Higher placement, laugh at basic, 90 angel, tempt to Satan
    Blend it up, equal greatness, rock the podium with my statements
    I'm the thirteenth king raised up out the monarchy
    Palm trees, roll it up, dedicate it to my sovereignty
    Fuck this separation shit is tasters, we one entity
    Like a bunch of shit stirred in the pot but still one recipe
    Indigo the leaders, puttin' the youth through trainin', nigga
    Never thought we would make it, now we unpluggin' it from the matrix
    Spit iconic, Issa Gold, the proper way, the youthful conscious
    Truth won't stop us, my light stream shinin', blockin' out they nonsense
    [Verse 4: AK]
    Brooklyn born and raised, some say we free, some say we caged
    But they hold the key to change they ways
    But mind be sleep, they mental slate
    You not in my league, I see through the great
    Cut the pot then I leap through the ashes and came
    I go crying in the corner with immaculate brains
    Hold up, I'm beast and I cannot be tamed
    Remember when we were starvin', dreams was tarnished
    Hoping one day we'd be ballin', ain't that all us?
    Now we done it, use your brain and never forfeit
    Now I talk how I'm livin' with conscious
    Good intentions, flawless karma
    And this mission keeps us stronger
    Fight for the day we be peaceful and honest
    [Bridge: Meechy Darko]
    I would die for every single nigga on this track, hol' up
    It's only right that we bring it back
    I done died for every single nigga on this track, hol' up
    It's only uh- that we bring it uh-uh
    [Verse 5: Meechy Darko]
    I'm destined for damnation, need to let out frustration
    So I threw a Molotov at the nearest police station
    Tell the reaper that I'm waitin', shit, Hell would be a vacation
    At least I won't need a lighter to spark up them Cali flavors
    The point is to read the book and burn the chapters after
    Why are we moving backwards? Mentally we still in shackles
    Our life, it like sand castles, we are not built to last
    But if we pack together close enough, the weather, we would stand
    One day, I'll have a queen and she won't need no weddin' band
    The weight of the world I benchpress, no flexin' for the 'Gram
    The man that travels many lands withstands and you can't understand
    Your standards, I am over them, feel like I am petroleum
    The chosen one, my tongue's a sword for ya, I brought my loaded gun
    I got this ongoin' battle with this shit, de-pression
    The pressure is buildin' up but fuck it I ain't givin' up
    And even if I did, so what?
