[Intro]
~#**************#~
To the beat, yall
~#**************#~
Salute to hip-hop all the time
~#**************#~
The greatness
~#**************#~
Yo
~#**************#~
[Verse]
~#**************#~
This is Premo to the next level
~#**************#~
And Im smiling at you hating ass niggas, rebels
~#**************#~
I bring bass to your treble, trouble, devil
~#**************#~
Four fifth to you lung, now take off the bezel
~#**************#~
Im the prodigal article in the rap article [?]
~#**************#~
I go hard at you, getting in the way, I make it hard to do
~#**************#~
I watched a lot of rappers in the last 12 years lose faith
~#**************#~
‘Cause sun dont shine in their states
~#**************#~
Its a continuous grind with the culture in mind
~#**************#~
Stop talking like bitches, and shut up and rhyme
~#**************#~
Salute to DJs that really do it
~#**************#~
New rhymes with an old style attached to it
~#**************#~
Its time to make that move Shalamar, Howard Hewett
~#**************#~
Cant forget the old style, duke, I used to do it, fluent
~#**************#~
To say you started it is wack shit, the flow is classic
~#**************#~
Youd know it if you was digging through them discount baskets
~#**************#~
Jewelry is just a dressing
~#**************#~
Ill strip you down to raw skills, purify the lesson
~#**************#~
A lot of niggas think that cause they rhyme on Premo, that can validate your skill
~#**************#~
Yeah, but we know that is not the real scenario
~#**************#~
Like Milo, Danko, and Brown on stage without Busta
~#**************#~
Thats not the real scenario
~#**************#~
Real niggas listen, Im noticing that hip-hop is splitting
~#**************#~
Into branches like trees do
~#**************#~
Saying youre the next one and you gon save the game
~#**************#~
Well please do, we need you
~#**************#~
DJs are selling out faster than cheap cars
~#**************#~
MCs are selling their best bars for cheap cars
~#**************#~
Aint nobody paying, and aint no weight to nothing these corny niggas are saying
~#**************#~
What game are you playing?
~#**************#~
When niggas used to say “yo, you heard what he said?”
~#**************#~
But now they say “yo, I heard that, the lyrics is dead
~#**************#~
Wheres the next one, and try not to be versey
~#**************#~
Can you start it off with controversy? Put a hook on it”
~#**************#~
360 and youre rocking for that label paper
~#**************#~
Now your moneys gone and you cant eat cause the crooks own it
~#**************#~
