lyrics

HOOK (2x)
I'm getting degrees
But I'm almost done
I'm about to be free

And I got a queen
And got a good team
Ain't no f*ckin wit' we

I come on the scene
And you and your people like:
"Who the f*ck he?"

E-double L-E-C-T, I be
So get to know me

VERSE 1
My people know this is my passion
They know I be killin this rap sh*t
But yet I'm the last one the industry pickin
I'll kick in the door and I'll cash in

Born the same day as MJ, Jim Brown, and Huey P.
I stand on the shoulders of giants,
I'm droppin' that science with peace, love, and unity

I live with immunity, help the community
I got the key to the city
I made it my home and the world is my zone
And I'm always gon' stay reppin' Philly

I'm making my way to a milli
And no I do not need a billi
Give that to the hood and make it understood
That the world don't gotta be so chilly

Ya feel me?

HOOK (2x)
I'm getting degrees
But I'm almost done
I'm about to be free

And I got a queen
And got a good team
Ain't no f*ckin wit' we

I come on the scene
And you and your people like:
"Who the f*ck he?"

E-double L-E-C-T, I be
So get to know me

VERSE 2
I started this shit to fulfill my desire
I been thru the hatred, I been thru the fire
I been thru the storm and I'm finally free
I know that the world was waitin on me

But I got older, got wise
This one guy got nine lives
I'm too alive, it's do or die
Evolved so much, you're like: Who am I?

Flat to Fact was a phenomenon
But I left you hungry like Ramadan
I'm telling my story and don't need the glory
I'm here for the culture you don't need to worry

I'm off work, getting back to rap
And don't have to trap for a platinum plaque
Let's get familiar and let it fulfill ya
Til we be familia

HOOK (2x)
I'm getting degrees
But I'm almost done
I'm about to be free

And I got a queen
And got a good team
Ain't no f*ckin wit' we

I come on the scene
And you and your people like:
"Who the f*ck he?"

E-double L-E-C-T, I be
So get to know me
