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

[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

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
