Operating off of intuition bet i be
Know we got it ain't no lacking in our pedigree
Planted like my family tree
No place I'd rather be
See it clear knowing ancestors proud of we
This was meant for me
It's all there yeah we here
Greetings greetings
To my fellow seedlings
Y'know it's only right
We recognize the tribe
Already won the race
Let's go that extra mile
This goes out to dem ones say haven't felt it
In a while
Ever present blessin of u n i t
Why man ah act so high and mighty
Dark road so we must shine brightly
Nuff respect ma

Been high off life so long
Would feel so wrong to ever git down
Operating off of intuition bet i be
Know we got it ain't no lacking in our pedigree
Planted like my family tree
No place i'd rather be
See it clear knowing ancestors proud of we
This was meant for me
It's all there
Yeah we here
That lineage is what I'm always leaning on
That tough inside my blood
My back and cheekbone strong
Bury me in Califia soil when I pass on
Write it on papyrus so the babies take the notes
Encapsulated for our generations
Know the ropes
Keep it safe and sacred
Store it in yo mental console
My people held it down
So we could hold it up
It was bestowed to us
So we can live notorious
Bigger than what they envisioned
Pick it up where they left off
Add colors to the spectrum
For self and the collective
No weapons can wreck it
We bend but never broke
Transmitting signals out
Heavy crown and heavy load
Inner city griots spread the word so we could keep it going
In rhythm with them djembe's
Hear them organs playing low
So whatchu you here fo
Be servant or shepherd
The elders
The flowers
The nectar you inherit
Together we fluorescent
Yeah i done fasted for this
Been broke no cast just for this
Exchange no tag backs for this
Stayed up, stayed down just for this
All turnt around just for this
Pardon if i contradict
Lost sense of direction
I know exactly where it is
And i got a good hunch it'll be a great day
It'll be a great day
