[Solo & Just Enuf:] Yes, yes Solo MC, Nick Lupi Just Enuf, ha "There goes the
neighbourhood" One-two, one-two One Day Crew coming through To a
neighbourhood near you (Well, all right) Jimmy Nice, let 'em know 'bout (All right, all right) [Just Enuf:] Well, I'ma take 'em home past memory lane Going 80 miles while I
blow the
dust off it, let me explain I'ma tell it how it was said to me same Saturday in September, forget the
weather but remember the
train A
dead grey ghost embedded with flames, I
didn't get it Hype mag, my man's room, I
went and read it Said, "You wanna bomb the
lines? ", replied as if my shit ain't stank "Bank on it, I'ma get my credit" Every tag on the
wall's like a
line from the
credits (Yes) Just because you seen it ain't mean that you read it (No) Mic's, markers, douse the
flame Embrace darkness, grant your wish life after Self doubt, guess I
got that from my father (That's right) But my drive outweighed it by far To the
real fans get 'em up, KBM the
stadium we getting up Whoever get there first, hit us up (What? What? What? What?) [Solo, Just Enuf & Nick Lupi:] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I
guess some things change We used to try to keep the
neighbourhood hit Now the
same dudes is tryna write the
neighbourhood hit Went from backlanes to backstage and now We spray words without paint, time waits for no man And so we got no time to waste It's just me and my brothers, you chilling with none other [Solo:] Step up in the
place with the
swagger of a
genuine pride It's the
return of the
kids bombing mainline Spitting rhymes written by the
same drive that Had us out till daybreak hitting the
train line (Yep, yep, uh-huh) Laces strapped, tins tucked in your backpack Chasing dreams that we traced out of graff mags (Yeah) We studied lessons from a
culture of kings Who could'a known what tomorrow would bring? ([?]) See there are walls in the
streets round my neighbourhood that read like photo albums (Uh-huh) Moments in time, frozen for those who know about 'em Snapshots of kids growing up staking their claim And now the
very same kids is tryna blow it up ([?]) And there's been some stormy weather but whatever (Whatever) Believe that me and my brothers we weather it together (Yeah) Till I'm old and grey and my words fade away (Yeah) Like plum purple in the
sun's rays, I'ma rep the
One Day [Solo, Just Enuf & Nick Lupi:] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I

neighbourhood hit Now the
same dudes is tryna write the
neighbourhood hit Went from backlanes to backstage and now We spray words without paint, time waits for no man And so we got no time to waste It's just me and my brothers, you chilling with none other [Nick Lupi:] Two hands Are what we made it with', a
labour of love and long days with' it Writing the
score and setting the
stage Product of the
very same pavement that plotted the
gradient If I
could get a
taste of it I
could run away with it I
recall vividly the
infamy attained The
names that rang out through the
halls that lifted me Same imagery of fame, long reins had little me Tryna write my timpani's into the
same symphony Footsteps of kings in my neighbourhood streets The
legendary crews and the
fabled old beefs We're coming up quick tryna figure our piece My best friends and I, no limit to the
reach (Nah) Can see it in my eyes, I
can't hide the
pride and Privilege I
feel standing right beside 'em Theme music to the
dream, the
One Day team And it won't stop till that one days' seen, ya mean? [Solo, Just Enuf & Nick Lupi:] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I
guess some things change We used to try to keep the
neighbourhood hit Now the
same dudes is tryna write the
neighbourhood hit Went from backlanes to backstage and now We spray words without paint, time waits for no man And so we got no time to waste It's just me and my brothers, you chilling with none other [Scratches:] "I be in class dreaming 'bout 50, 000 fans up in the
stands screaming out"
