lyrics

Chorus:
Tell me – what you’re thinking
…come on!
Show me what you got
…come on! come on!

Dreamer:
It don’t matter my name – I’ve got bars for days
I hit bars for plays – do it for fun not praise
I’ve always got an idea burning inside
And if you lend me your ear we can go for a ride

Illicit:
And if you open your eyes I think that you would agree
That nowadays there ain’t too many rappers cooler than me
I might not be able to get a million views in a week
But I promise you’ll get demolished if you choose to compete

Dreamer:
I compete with myself – it’s a dual of the fates
There’s a mic and a guitar simple tools of the trade
More than minimal rage for working minimum wage
But I’m gonna keep the dream alive with a smile on my face

Illicit:
A freestyle’s all it takes to leave these people surprised
That means all I need is a beat to start unleashing these rhymes
It’s taken years to make it here but now I’m reaching my prime
So until I’m no longer breathing I’ll be speaking my mind

Chorus:
Tell me – what you’re thinking
…come on!
Show me what you got
…come on! come on!

Illicit:
I don’t care what people think and I’m not taking advice
From anyone thats never set foot on a stage in their life
I’ll just be patient and wait til the day my name is in lights
Just so I can finally see what being famous is like

Dreamer:
I’ve got a trick up my sleeve a simple slight of the hand
I make music and perform like a one man band
But I connect and transform with my partner in rhyme
If it’s us against the world Double Flawless every time

Illicit:
I’ve come up with every line in every verse that you’ve heard from me
Making sure every bars up to par and is worded perfectly
Cuz nowadays the way half these rappers behave is currently
The main reason hip-hop is in a state of emergency

Dreamer:
Practice what your preaching – avoid over reaching
Try and see the path – the universe is always teaching
Try and spread the love or get out of the way
Don’t need you standing in the door let’s keep it moving today

Chorus:
Tell me – what you’re thinking
…come on!
Show me what you got
…come on! come on!

Dreamer:
They got us all wearing masks and carrying AKs
Is this post apocalyptic or just another day
Frickin’ Twilight zone this is season 4
I can’t tell where it’s going but I gotta see more

Illicit:
Life’s a monopoly board and I’m just taking a chance
I roll the dice but it doesn’t matter which space that I land
Cuz I created a plan a couple of days in advance
And that plan is to win the game whichever way that I can

Dreamer:
I’m living far underground but I can see some light
I’m working hard in isolation to get my arsenal tight
I’m still fortifying skill man guitar’s my thing
And if you hang for a second yo I just might sing

Illicit:
I swear that once I’m king I’ll turn these cats into peasants
To prove the fact that with rap I’m the future, past, and the present
I’ve spent my life behind these bars – maximum sentence
I’m bout to show you what I got and if you have any questions
You can…
