Asking who the captain? It's unanimous It's unanimous It's unanimous Nigga Where I'm from It's no debating And ain't no other mutha fucking nominations Its unanimous It's unanimous They nod in agreement You see they hands was up When I say Peace Raise your peace signs and put your hammers up But I wont cease Fire, I retire when my candle done Im tired of playing with these amateurs Im tired of hanging with these managers Im wiring payments to my mans and them Im hiring making sure my fam is up You can go-go dance or hold cameras Understand it was Unanimous Dah Dah Dah DahDah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Doe Dah DahDah Dah Dah Doe Dah DahDah Dah Dah And you know what this shits about I haven't done this in awhile But that was then and this is now Cause they rocking with us System of a down Its like you pitching 0-2 Niggas is missing out You remember when them critics kicked him down? I switch my style And I get up as if the earth will spin around Shit is foolish how it's sounding My crew is so bout it bout it I'm making a master piece I'm a beast in the southern wilding Releasing this underground I'm deceased when I dumb it down And my reefer be by the pound Thesis is keep them bouncing My speeches Still tight When I spit that real life Wonder what it feel like I might turn to Phil Knight How I'm nice with this Mic shit Hiking up the prices This white chick Im piping Julie Louis-Dreyfus (That's presidential) I spit expensive tongue Now my ends will come I quit convincing them Since it's a consensus with all my niggas In the city that I run Had to make it happen Wonder who the one? Asking who the captain? It's unanimous It's unanimous It's unanimous Nigga Where I'm from It's no debating And ain't no other mutha fucking nominations Its unanimous It's unanimous It's Unanimous Nigga Dah Dah Dah DahDah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Doe Dah DahDah Dah Dah Doe Dah DahDah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah DahDah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Doe Dah DahDah Dah Dah Doe Dah DahDah Dah Dah

Count On Me 03:09
Nigga You Can Count on Me I said the next round's on me Know I'm down homie Because you never frowned on me Homie yeah Never doubt on me Those who looking down on me May have to put the crown on me Check the style homie You can always count on me Never doubt on me Nigga you can count on me You can count on me Rich thoughts so I broke rules I can't do it how most do I feel weird around other niggas You would've thought I was home schooled You're going to win, You're going to lose I don't get too emotional I just play the sideline Cause that's what a coach will do Some folks turn religious When they get lost in life I might start burning bridges So a Nigga can't cross me twice Act like Fam when I say shit If you're Relating What I'm dropping, It ain't shit But now they on the wave, Hang Ten I got my keys My phone Some trees Who want to ride? When you're with me You're on my team Im by your side My people they can count on me On me My people they can count on me Count on Me I'm on the loud Indo weed Mind in the clouds Window Seat I got mad family That's a big ole tree And like your grand mammy They depends on me So above the devil On another level Im never going to settle You said you like high fashion? Im like girl whatever If you in LV Im a running rebel The hardest rapper in Tom shoes Taking shots of some Chartreuse Weed by the jar or the parcel Breeze when I be with my G's, got a car full At times I want to be alone I might leave the East Coast But the fam I still keep close And keep the beats dope Shout out to T-Mos
