I just can't get over losin' you (Statik Selektah)
So if I seem (right, yeah)
Broken and blue (check it out)
Walk on by

Now I won't turn the other cheek, or walk away any time it's beef
If it's that, it'll be your last shovel
I guarantee, I tuck a forty 'cause of casualties, I'm war-ready
I studied 33 Strategies, so wipe the bullet
It's .223s through your cavities, they'll exit out the back of your mullet
Should I happen to pull this trigger, so how you figure, nigga?
I rid the evidence and wash my sins off in the same river

Possessed by Marcus Garvey, the vessel, the body
Ancestors inside me, I'm startin' the insurrection
The pope's blessings upon me couldn't even calm me, protection
Come from prayers, my question, why they try to play us? I'm guessin'
It's 'cause I call fundamentals, they might offend you
And when I wore my fatigues, what I got into
On the corner, had power, was a trappin' shorty
Makin' plays every hour (yeah), I did it for the glory

Just another nigga from the streets
Tryna find himself a lil' piece of the pie
Know it's a bigger picture than the one that meet the eye, so
Might have to walk away from this life for my survival
I got dreams and visions, it's all gettin' colossal
Like movin' mama to a castle
'Cause it's a hassle gettin' caught up in the Devil's lasso
And that's what a wise man once told me
I got a lot of love and respect for my OGs

Lot of us turn out to predicate felons, not I
My brethren's addicted to sellin', slipped and turned to somebody's seller
I wish that somebody would tell us then (tell us then)
Tell us chances are slim when you dancin' with sin (dancin' with sin, uh)
It all start from within
Suede Pumas back when I was chargin' 'em ten (ten)
Who woulda knew I would rock them events?
I rock with my young Gs, that's just common sense (sense)

Statik Selektah, yeah (keep it movin', yeah)
Joey Bada$$ (keep it movin', yeah yeah)
Nasir, Mass Appeal, real, brrat (movin', yeah, keep it movin', yeah yeah)
Life is a balancin' act for real (movin', yeah, keep it movin')
We'll get through it (I'm not being broken no more)
Just gotta keep it movin' (movin', yeah, keep it movin', yeah yeah)

(Movin', yeah, keep it movin')
(I'm not being broken no more)
(Movin', movin')
(Move, movin')

(I'm not being broken no more, movin')
