DIlla's Kids...That's who we are man Yeah. Rest in Peace J. Dilla... (Go!) [Jah Aurum Verse]: Dilla said go so I went, Killin' in New York man I gatta represent but Livin' on the road, yeah well that's the plan and When I finna go and get up on the van Probably let her keep some clothes so she won't forget the scent of the man Learned a lot from the one's that came before for sure And I'm a use to soar and more So yo, Let me tell you some things (some things) Some things that they informed the boy like: "You never really know when the cold's gon descend So keep your people close yea in case of the event. And you might be feeling low, don't let it affect You might be a performer, don't ever pretend to be something that you're not man, just rock. I know the ceiling feeling close but look kid you got no limit. Be humble don't forget to always have forgiveness In this business they'll do anything to get their hands up in the spinach. Oh! And don't give in to the gimmicks Stay wit it, stay creative, stay inventive Make sure the advancement of the craft is your incentive!" That's the sum of the advice that I've been given. So by it, I'm a live it. They told me no "no's" till I finish. Life might pass in a flash man, Well... I'm glad I'm photogenic! [Hook x2] Dilla's Kids, it's who we are, we represent We gon' show love and vibe, Yeah we gon' pay respects To the ones that helped us get to the place we at, helped us face the fears that we thought we lacked showed us the way and also that We the ones, we the ones Thats a fact, That's a fact! [Yahya verse] He told me go - I went back to my roots Found myself in these lyrics and just scribbled the truth Must've found it in the instruments still see all his influence - it powers the youth Where would we be without strong foundations, the lessons from the greats in how to build bases in vocab and lyrics? lay em over dillas beats, surprise for my critics and haters and fools Physical flow you must feel how I move with this late 90s groove and spirit for me rap was unplanned ride the beat cuz its smooth and we hear it we knew now is the time Me and my crew the greatest of rappers we came up right after an era of rappers who plotted and mastered their craft the game's been blotted disaster we rose up right after the fact right after the math we're in the equation revival our victory tasting we claimed it already He said to go get em and carry the trophy the title the feeling back to beginnings reminisce I am driven just chilling and dilla the king is no longer living was all just a vision dis beat he was tripping on musical truths a tribute to him we dig tracks from the past and trace our own roots [Hook x2] [Outro] One fateful day my pops asked me One fateful day my pops asked me He said "Yo yo, you know who Dilla is?" I said, "nah man who that is?" He threw on a track Goddam...it was ridiculous! Wow Thank ya Thank ya Thank ya Thank ya One fateful day my pops asked me One fateful day my pops asked me One fateful day my pops asked me Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go WHOA (Let's Go!)

(Let's Go!) [Hook] Please, Please ride with us Please, Please ride with us Please, Please ride with us Please, Please ride with us [Jah Aurum Verse] Because together we are strong divided we are not Stop paying for radio slot Aiming for top spot on itunes dont help them dilute our minds sooner or later the art gon be diminished The loss gon the be the realest No captial punishment But i finna finish this life sentence of reppin my brethren with my name up in the guiness They either feel us of fill us with some whackness Like when they brought crack in back in 84' I Wasnt even born but hell ive grown and im sure i see another incident like this showing in a different form We either milling like feeble people or they making us take militant action against each other, kill a man for his balenciagas, oh brother Look im taking a pause from lapping around u whack rappers and im throwing facts in yo, They tryna draw a line between us like a fraction I dont know how many similies i gatta use for u get it Only a fraction of second to react before the bullet catches and fractures ur bones So get ready, be in zone Next time u feeling the division, Keep these thoughts on ur dome like a fitted And spread the word cuz its not a sound if no ones around to hear it Or is it? Yo... [Hook] [Jah Aurum Second Verse] Cuz you gotta make the best before we lie as dust Ay yo my words are razor sharp cuz i got u lining up And cuttin up the weak ones They wonder ive become But i been here Been destined for this since week one seventh No remembrance of ascendance, maybe i was lent it man just for second but ima use Instead of making sure u gatta beverage u should make sure u got leverage over the ones thats tryna trap in u what they think your destined for I'm not down with the past, im not down with future if all it holds is dope producers that's backing lame music, I mean c'mon use your intuition and influence, I'm talking about now and how we used to being used Im tired of these whack rappers tryna be that dude that reps BK , thats reps NY. Man Im that guy Man, Ill rep NY Ill rep BK P-R-E-P Lé trap wash heights Ill put the whole globe on my back If i have to And Thats just how i feel I aint got no problems but dam I will After this verse is done But listen to the rest of it Yes im claiming im the best There isn't any contesting it Going against is in essence like being blind and deaf, It's about as senseless as gets So please take a rest Only thing you resurrecting is the mess Dudes are sour cuz I'm luminescent with lime light no put intended, im smelling lemon essence in air Don't ever mention the absurd Observe the ever present Effervescent presence Cuz we get it poppin and we puttin' on the pressure proper Stop focusing on the cheddar we expect better Please Cuz we flying off until the angles come [Hook]

Look, Look, Lemme tell you about this kid man, This kid Jah Aurum Woo! This kid is nasty. He's the best out right now Look, look, this what I'm trying to tell you this what I'm trying to tell you... [Hook x2] They don't know what they up against. They barely can keep up with him. He soaring, He flying, And every body know's he is the one [Jah Aurum Verse] Seems like he's leading this legion of underachievers On the brink of extinction He slips in sleeker the stuff you spit in spit and Shows you a route less traveled and more scenic Not even a rapper he just dabbles, he's still the meanest And now a bunch of "I don't mean to be facetious" mona lisas grabbin' on him increasing the creases under his eyes and on his fleeces If u wanna resist then you can try it man But I'm telling you, this kid could get u higher than Methamphetamine, more bars than a penitentiary According to the statistics man, that is where he's meant be But I'm pretty sure this kid is ganna carve out his own destiny yo Only thing fresher than him is his credentials He exels at everything it could be a wooden sword board or a pencil, Frankly any utensil you present to him will be mastered, He's in another dam class bruh His talent is immense and competitions are never suspenseful cuz we all know who's ganna win in the end so He stay chillin in the end zone I'm tellin' you yo [Hook] What? What is this guy talking about? He's the one? What? Can't keep up? Lemme clear some things up [Jah Aurum Second Verse] Unfortunately its all up in his head The only time he's super fly is when he's rolling round in his bed Usually a Harvard hat or a starter cap but he's dreaming of a lounging wearing crown instead, in a new land where if u mess wit him yo ass gon be what the cows are fed feeling like the savior yeah yadda yadda ya know...the things tey're fake ya kno...the things in the first verse that were said they're all not real okay? but, but... (I just had to laugh. This guy really though Jah Aurum was nice, he's buggin but look look) He's allowing it even tho he knows deep down its all counterfeit I mean he's waking up anxious He wash away his fears under shower head Why he rap so much man what he's tryna make it? He definitely takes the cake for the most basic. He raps and i just hate it I know what I'm up against its not like intense or immense as he makes it to be To me, he has no relevance, He's not magnificent I don't know why he thinks everyone else is lesser men This kid needs to stop for real You know what I mean? Like, he's not even that good I don't get it Like– don't sing the hook bro! What are you doing? Stop! Ya know what? Just turn the beat off...that's it. This is done. This is done Uh.. we can move past this... JAH AURUM IS WHACK

[Jah Aurum Verse] You know we searching, We certain that we splurging till our pockets hurting Swerving onto the curb Catch ya boy in a turban leading a sermon Miracle like a virgin birthin' Came atop this earth to work it But see I refuse to be a servant Young god emerging to the surface Like a burp Or we makin' em nervous like a nuerosurgeon Breaking down walls like we in berlin Baggin em like Berkin If u walking thru the grass better watch our or the serpents, Cuz we all kno they be lurking Haters Yo keep it runnin' uh... I'm feeling this one... [Jah Aurum Second Verse] These dudes is on some...patriotic foolishness All it got em was blood flowing on the bottoms of they soul Damn, those some real demonic louboutins Probably feeling bluer than a smurf is but on the surface he acting like he happier than Pharell's hat or Bhudda It's sad no one knew he was gon' crash that car he was zooming in But whatever that pressure will never do me in So enough about the ones that got away And more about the kid who takes the stage and leaves everyone in the space wit nothin' to say Common symptoms of a case of the amazed Leavin' all the girlies texting "bae ur the best" Next day tryna caress, the face and the fade And a lil bit about how its cray that once you get into the limelight they start throwing shade But everyone needs a break So its ok ill just sit back, relax, sip on life's lemonade. And also a lil more about how a cop could point his gun and the born criminal yells" I'm only 8, 9,18,43" and it doesn't phase Doesn't matter what you say if you of a darker shade your ganna be collateral damage in this battle for supremacy You willing to accept that? Not me Uh...well, there's not much else to say except that so... Hmm..that resolved quickly so back to this slick kid who's voice you hear looping in. The light in the dark even apart from the mic he's luminous, Occasions on which he's made a prolific statement while simply ventilating and evading the hatred man is numerous. God dam he's smoother than a slide fused wit lubricant and goin' down the whole thing in that suit that dudes be scoobin' in! Uh...we're nearing my conclusion So don't get too used to the room your troupe is coolin' in cuz the new dudes is movin' in To be it was truly meant With love, The ruler of the students Peace Had to treat ya to a double feature -Jah

[Skit] [Jah Aurum Verse] If I'm not in Brooklyn streets, Prolly out in upper east, Chillin with my dalton folk Yea u already know Or maybe out wash heights 184 the loiterers Get Money for the corner store I'm Ballin! Yea...but on quarter waters of course Still, no time at all for those yapping they jaws Lapping across the yeshiva even tho We should be leaving but well give em' another reason to hate us. Stubbom, just what the world made us out to be Knew the route from the basement of the house out to to street I t was handy for manhunt at least Other days I was chillin' with my homie joseph at recess 8th grade: stir up a beens nest Detention was my strong suit To the ensemble of hater middle school man... I'm beyond you!! Uniform polo with logo, Oh no told me, "Run your pockets", I just stood shook, like a snow globe Saved by the feds, Duck our heads in the car with the popo Damn, It really helped me grow tho Photoshoots wit Tyflo, Later shoot to harlem, treat a couple bitties that still be calling him It's crazy how they used to stall on him Now look at me I'm just a student of the game, I never played hooky Kon boogie, corona queens he putteth me onto patterns, in a matter of seconds the kid became a force to be reckoned with Cuzzo Bway showed me how to wreck on a record Me and Cloppo we would ollie over potholes Hop in a spaceship And in roswell we left it All the people i blessed wit I gatta thank ya All of those who showed affection Your what im made of All the mentors who have told me Dont be afraid to Take a chance Ya the reason i am the way the way i am Man this life is like a dream And i hope i never wake up I hope I never wake I said this life is like a dream and I hope I never wake up [Credits]

Ok uh...yea...ooh you know I had to do this one The golden aurum filius child straight from dapper ville wearing velour Waging a war up on the chatter ill Take a 50 feet leap up off the battlefield drop back down oops landed on a dafidill So now I'm crushin' on her a lil but chill I will never fall for them for real Of course i show no remorse cuz man love comes at a cost and when it comes to that I keep my pockets on frost So while the blood splatter and spill I'm still laughing still Must be out of feels, a lil numb cuz all of the kills But I still got parents thinkin' I'm what their kid needs yeah, Just like an Aderal (a-der-ill) pill Excuse me i meant Aderal After all they want you to be the chattel yea saddle and all But not me bruh, You wont see me, but I'm definitely there Yeah you can call me an amoeba. And that's just me I mean My team is like a batch of multi-faceted classic drastic assassins attracting the vast mass of the masses. We beyond just the laxative action whose adjective matches your rapping. We actually like a full blown action packed accident in the bathroom With 4 seagulls, Don Cheadle, a large burrito yeah and a vacuum. And he kept lid on so we nuthin' to tread on Im disgusting so for u to even touch me im wondering "what is he on?" Peon Peace
