(Intro: Joey BADA$$)

Yeah, ride

Roll sumethin' to this one right here, man ya know what I'm saying

Nah, man, I can't roll nothin' up to this one right here, we want to keep it all clean ya know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, ride wit my, ride, ride

Just ride wit me, ride wit me

(Verse: Joey BADA$$)

Yo, and I'll be here for ya when there's no one else

I see things been gettin' hard, ya need sumebody's help

I'm really worried about the kid's of tomorrow's date

That's why I'm always conscious in everythin' I say

I'm lil bruva gettin' big, yo, he just turned eight

Know he be looking up to me, I see it in his face

When he listen to my music it takes him away

My only wish is that it brings him to a betta place

Ya see, the universe is listenin' every time we speak

What ya seek, it seek in ya, so practice what ya preach

And if I got sum' type, a voice should be used to teach

My young world, yo wildest dreams are within yo reach

And I'mma tell ya , just like I told me

Believe in yoself, ya can do anythin'

No matter what they say ya can't do or won't be

Don't ever listen, keep limited homies, plus limits don't know me

See, knowledge yo pops and Wisdom's yo OG

Experience is born and understandin' of thee

Of whom you've come to be, this child of Destiny

Nothin' is coincidental, everythin' meant to be, now

(Hook)

Oh, the poem ya need to listen in

(Ya just fly wit the most)

And ya can find my love

Love blowin' in the wind

(Verse 2: Joey BADA$$)

I always knew that one day I would be a star

Since I was a kid I always had this feelin' in my heart

Sometimes I wonder if I'm really this special or

Is there sumethin' that ya ain't been tellin' me Lord

Ya see I learned sumethin' vital wit my whole career

Just watchin', observin' things ova the years

A secret that I don't think that I'm supposed to share

But I don't care cuz if they kill me, I was never here

Ya see, the truths been hidden under yo nose for a long time

The only real power is the one ova yo mind

So once ya seek control of every lil thing ya do

Start to unlock the potential that's inside of ya

Don't ya get got or cell blocked

Thinkin' the world's dark and hell's hot

My only hell is bein' enslaved 'til I'm in the box

And to my bruva's treatin' life like it's anotha bitch

I encourage ya to find yoself anotha chick

And treat her wit respect, cuz the moment ya neglect

Start to fade and pick away pieces of yo flesh

So be smart cuz it's never too late for change

Never met a man who gained without feelin' despair

(Hook)

(Verse 3: Big KRIT)

Yo, a country boy dream can beat the odds

Watchin' Avalons on the fallin' stars

I pray ya make it out of the booby traps

And feeble daps that people give ya on the low

Let's face off in the grass, just be careful when it grow

It's mo' about the messagin', less about the flow

The sky ain't the limit, although that's what we're told amongst otha things

Like ya can't be successful wit out a flooded, embezzled, diamond chain

Well damn, what about feedin' families? Givin' yo all to manage

Don't sacrifice yo canvas to paint a picture of sum' bullshit

Be weary of the path that talk of private jets in the pool pit

Got to be real, through yo heart, to yo core

Don't give up on God, when there's so much mo' in store

Now I don't mean to be preachin', sum' might say I'm reachin'

But Lord knows, sumebody got to teach it

I'm hopin' that ya listen

(Hook)

(Outro: Hannibal Buress)

Yo acapella, cuz Statik won't give me no beats

But I spit bars no matter what in the heat

It's eighty degrees out in the street

We in Greenpoint or Bushwick, I push shit, that's it

I ain't even got the headphones on, no headphones

Hold the headphones in my hand to make 'em handphones

I'm the man, HB!
