lyrics

(v1)
You could pro’lly catch me runnin at a fast pace coming outa last place loving in the rat race
Becoming a giraffe takes growth & I don’t lack faith nope I never lactate
Heart inside a glass case, never pressing backspace, straighter than a back brace
I don’t have a masked face, read it on a faxed page, you should get your facts straight
All I do is embrace, love the way a stem tastes, taller than Dikembe
Never mind what your friends say, you aren’t in 10th grade, you can be a sensei
You can eat some tempeh every single Wednesday, ok? Comprende?
I don’t need no ash trays, I ain’t getting cats spayed, I don’t go to cafes
All I say is

(Hook)
You want it
You got it
You get it
You need to feed it (x4)
You saw it
You plotted
You hit it
You need to feed it (x4)

(v2)
You can be an outcast, you can even outlast a bombastic bomb blast
The future will be long past time could move so darn fast you’ll be like, “it’s gone? dag”
Foreal, it is beyond flash, life is like a long dash be nice to your mom & dad
Drink out of a brown bag, think of a profound fact, blink and never doubt that
That is just my advice, I’ve never had head lice, I like to eat bread slice-s
I remember Greg Nice, music was my friend I used to listen in silence
Then the truth it fled, “bye”, everything I read twice, ok what’s ahead? I is
Open up and spread wide, I ain’t talking legs I’m talkin bout your head’s eyelids

(Hook)
You want it
You got it
You get it
You need to feed it (x4)
You saw it
You plotted
You hit it
You need to feed it (x4)

(v3)
Whether you’re Latino or you’re from Tokyo, Rio or from Reno
You are my amigo, everyone, all people, sorry to sound emo
I eat jalepenos, you go to casinos, and you went through some chemo
We are all the same though, me and Galileo, we all count 2, 3, 4
Life is like a free throw, looking through the key hole, everyone is Neo
I am finding Nimo, swimming in the free flow, bring me home like depot
Everywhere that we go, everything that we know this song is bout your ego
this song is bout your ego, this song is bout your ego, this song is bout your ego, so we go

(Hook)
You want it
You got it
You get it
You need to feed it (x4)
You saw it
You plotted
You hit it
You need to feed it (x4)
