Hands Up

(album: Product Of Entertainment - 2023)

You feel that rumbling on the drums here they come
If they ever find out where you from then ya done
Where I come from this is fun in the sun
Meaning I'm comfortable in the slums where you run
Started so innocent, wow
Ceiling was pinning me down
Now I'm a killer one of the realest and illest around
I am the villages child
Rocking the sinister smile
Set the stage ablaze
Yeah I bet they'll remember me now

So everybody put your hands up, hands up
Every single time you stand up, stand tough
Let em know they can't ban us, ban us
Yea I bet they can't stand us, stand us, and what
It was ninety percent inspiring
Ten percent was insane
Part of it was the confidence
Part of it was the game
If it wasn't for your acknowledgement
I would probably remain
A scholar of my environment, Product of Entertainment

All these labels and comparisons are tossed around
Treated like LB or LP's foster child
They try to tell it like we're only ripping off the sound
When all we ever did was try to lift it off the ground
Reignite the torch, lift it up from the ashes
Every track is a course, overlapping these rappers
Taking notes from the GOATS until the genre is massive
Smash it and bring it back with back to back classics

So everybody put your hands up, hands up
Every single time you stand up, stand tough
Let em know they can't ban us, ban us
Yea I bet they can't stand us, stand us, and what
It was ninety percent inspiring
Ten percent was insane
Part of it was the confidence
Part of it was the game
If it wasn't for your acknowledgement
I would probably remain
A scholar of my environment, Product of Entertainment

Listen
Kill it from the beginning I gotta garner respect
While harnessing all the skills I got from Marshall and Tech
Intricate lyricism but still a scholar at best
While honoring those who fallen I take my arms and I stretch em high
To the ceiling as I start my reps
Too much weight, gotta get these bars off my chest
Now I'm one with my spirit a feeling you can't touch
Once again if it ain't too much

Everybody put your hands up, hands up
Every single time you stand up, stand tough
Let em know they can't ban us, ban us
Yea I bet they can't stand us, stand us, and what
It was ninety percent inspiring
Ten percent was insane
Part of it was the confidence
Part of it was the game
If it wasn't for your acknowledgement
I would probably remain
A scholar of my environment, Product of Entertainment
