Us (The Anthem)

(álbum: Battle Poetry - 2013)

I be out here on a journey full of victories and losses
Princesses and bosses
Crooked roads and wicked courses
My forces are my forces
This one goes out to you who's trying to figure out what yours is
Money is an adjective, the world is just a mall
Steady stacking karma from the winter to the fall
Keep ambitions really high and my circle really small
Rep my team untill I'm graffiti on the wall
Good Guys, what up
Turning down more champagne
They looking at me like man, that's a damn shame
And there's always an occasion
I'm always on my job and every nights a celebration
So I do it for my city, I do it for my city
And no matter where I go you know I always bring it with me
Getting gritty on the midi, man, I did this on my own
And they trying to make me need em when I don't, tell em suckers that we

Came a long way from the bottom
I just want the people that I'm with to know I got 'em
Tell me
If you love something, then this is your anthem
This is your anthem, this is your anthem
That I really love some things about us
Said that I really love some things, I really love some things
I really love some things about us
Said that I really love some things, I really love some things

This is for the good guys, the haters and the lovers
The babies and they mothers, my baby and my brothers
Who gonna stop me, tell em who gonna stop me
Man I tried telling the truth, so now they say I'm getting cocky
Sitting court-side to the game, you can't get these seats
I been balling balling balling, I ain't kept receipts
Man I raised your children, and I swept these streets
Rolling rolling rolling, I ain't slept in weeks
Fjords in my vanes, songs in my brain
Writing raps where Grieg sat, all that remains
Is the songs that we sing, there's no pausing this game
Sweaty tears, it's not all just applause and refrains
They keep saying don't forget where you came from
I'm the same one, I'm just going places that you can't come
Point out the distance, they talk but never listen
I'm not trying to make an album, I'm trying to make a difference, and we

Came a long way from the bottom
I just want the people that I'm with to know I got 'em
Tell me
If you love something, then this is your anthem
This is your anthem, this is your anthem
That I really love some things about us
Said that I really love some things, I really love some things
I really love some things about us
Said that I really love some things, I really love some things

And I'm blowing all this green
For the team, for the city, for the dream
Yeah
Get on every single screen
For the team, for the city, for the dream
Yeah
Little boy, stay clean
For the team, for the city, for the dream
Yeah
Baby girl, you'll be a queen
For the team, for the city, for the dream

Came a long way from the bottom
I just want the people that I'm with to know I got 'em
Tell me
If you love something, then this is your anthem
This is your anthem, this is your anthem
That I really love some things about us
Said that I really love some things, I really love some things
I really love some things about us
Said that I really love some things, I really love some things
