The Professor, The Professor

Yeah boom to the bap shit, sticking back flips
Mad balance, beam like gymnastics
Uneven bars, floor exercise
The Professor

Check it, aye yo--used to wanna be the one to really make a difference
Now it's back to blasting shots off from a distance
Moth to the flame, burnt wings from the journey
Overstating things just to make sure they heard me
Early for the sound check plus I'm staying late too
If you ain't got if for real, you better make do
Whole lotta muck that you probly gotta wade through
If you really give a fuck, hit the weight room
Raise the bar, it's the reps and the plates moved
But really all I do is feel the bass groove
Whatever you against, you better face dude
And God bless you if you got a fake crew
It's been my time, I'm sick of having to wait fool
Mad respect but y'all been acting hateful
The eighth tool that I added to my belt
Was to feel what I felt and to let my brain melt

Yo, boom to the bap shit, sticking backflips
Mad balance, beam like gymnastics
Uneven bars, floor exercise
That's my cousin's style but I had to improvise
All around, I could take the vault too
Stick the landing every time that we ball through
Uh, yeah that boom to the bap shit
Mad balance, beam like gymnastics

Yo, shout out to the next generation
Take your moves places that wasn't in conversations
What's the motivation and the flow's equation
Yeah I made the beat so the flow's a whole relation
All I see is everybody talking monetize
Damn I thought your whole style got economized
When the bottom lines rule how the tops move
Then y'all see how your art gets a pop tune
Shot the moon down so I could feel closer
What the fuck is life without emotion, I'm most of
The way that I used to be, if you could see what I can see
And vis a vie then we could be
Yeah, yeah and vis a vie, then we could be
Yeah and vis a vie

It's like boom to the bap shit, sticking backflips
Mad balance, beam like gymnastics
Uneven bars, floor exercise
That's my cousin's style but I had to improvise
All around, I could take the vault too
Stick the landing every time that we ball through
Uh, yeah that boom to the bap shit
Yeah mad balance like gymnastics

The Professor
Yeah

Boom to the bap shit, sticking backflips
Mad balance, beam like gymnastics
Uneven bars, floor exercise
That's my cousin's style but I had to improvise
