(KAYTRANADA, classic timing)
Beating up the block from the morn' till the day up (classic)
Money going down for the ones don't stay up (C-C-Classic)
Serving hand to hand, every dollar is a lay up (classic)
Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors (T-T-Timing)
Dem who's called dis coming down a long way's how we play, ha
Take it to the great sound system
And all of the evicted dem
Yah me say
B-B-Beating up the block from the morn' till the day up
Money going down for the ones don't stay up
Serving hand to hand, every dollar is a lay up
Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors
Shelala-la-la-la-la, bum, bum, she lay, uh
We get enough to get some money today, uh
Shelala-la-la-la-la, bum, bum, she la, uh
See either way, these niggas know that I'ma ride
Yeah, I got 'em switching sides (move)
To the getting money side (move)
I see it in her eyes (move)
They only see her thighs (move)
She out to set me up (move)
So they can hit me up (move)
Been bright as days that's sunny since I sipped the sippy cup (move)
Fuck all the allegations (move)
Let's see the evidence (move)
If you ain't catch me in the action, it's irrelevant (move)
If you ain't catch me in the motion, then I'm motionless (move)
They wanna see me in the box or want to see me dead
They see it equal, though I rather see the latter less (less)
The thought of breaking down them ounces add a ounce of stress (stress)
Either way, I hustle on the block until I cash the check
Jump outs, giving pop quizzes, I'ma pass the test
Beating up the block from the morn' till the day up
Money going down for the ones don't stay up
Serving hand to hand, every dollar is a lay up
Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors
Shelala-la-la-la-la, bum, bum, she lay, uh
We get enough to get some money today
Shelala-la-la-la-la, bum, bum, she la, uh
See either way these niggas know that I'ma ride
Ayy, ayy, I'm one of them
I paid the price, now I live life above the rim
I'll show you how to separate the rock from the gem
From Philly where it's people gettin' popped on a whim
Pray you not one of them, with your spot run up in
I know what's more powerful, the pistol or the pen
I'll show you how to separate them boys from the men
The dollar from the pound from the Euro from the Yen
With just a tug of the tie knot, tilt of the brim
So when the stakes is high like stilts, I'ma win
In spite of hate from blood that was built kind of thin
Careful who you befriend, they will switch up in the end
When intentions all along was just to have you broke with them
That's why I keep these jokers guessin'
They ask me my profession, I tell them it's manifestin'
They check for my direction, I change it, I'm ambidextrous
My balance will never be anorexic, how I'm eating while I'm beating up the–
Block from the morn' till the day up
Money going down for the ones don't stay up
Serving hand to hand, every dollar is a lay up
Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors
Shelala-la-la-la-la, bum, bum, she lay, uh
We get enough to get some money today
Shelala-la-la-la-la, bum, bum, she la, uh
See either way these niggas know that I'ma ride
