“Produced by Maxamill”
Yeah, peace to Maxamill
On this track that’s ill
Taking me back, for real
Yeah, uh
Got me feeling like “1111,1212”
Check it out..
It’s been ONE year since I dropped eleven/eleven
Some thought it was TWO, deep and didn’t get it. Forget em
Cause “one day it’ll all make sense” like 9/30/97
To become highly recommended
One reason some may not comprehend it
Is to be in the know humans beings don’t usually show one reason to grow
Check your self before you wreck it to survive
In other words reflect for the lessons
One time for anyone who’s ever manifested a dream
Two time for all the beautiful things in my life
Because to be wealthy is to be gracious
The energy in your space is what makes it truly spacious
One time for the ones who wonder if they won
The ones who never run and never need anyone
What?
Peace to the ones who live to please
Extra peace to the ones who live by the gun
Hoping they never have to squeeze
Peace to the artistés living they masterpiece
Lookin like Maxi Priest
Close to you even when they unapproachable
Even when they anti social
You know it’s no trouble
To show love and be the most humble
Who would have known we’d grow up to push through the cold like snow shovels
Before returning to my own bubble
Peace, Tribe
R.I.P. Phife
Now watch me come in with the
1111,1212
1111,1212
1111,1212
“One two, one two”
It goes
1111,1212
1111,1212
1111,1212
“One two, one two”
Ayo they call me SOS and I’m certified fresh
And I came with the throwback on some Tribe Called Quest that goes
1111,1212
“One, two, one two”
You get ONE life to live, ONE reason
ONE chance to advance
TWO if you’re lucky, but never plan on that
If you are wise, you will know to live out your life to the fullest
Like every day could be your last and it might
It’s called appreciation, “carpe diem” and all o that
Wait for it to click like I turned the key in the latch
We want freedom at last, peace to DPz in fact
It’s bigger than hip hop
We can finally see that
In the back of my mind I recall Black on Both Sides
And a statement by Mos Def on that intro in 99
“Hip hop is going where we going”
Wherever we go
Tho the GOVT treat us like we the enemy tho
Homie, we shall prevail
We too strong
Just watch as we shape the world with each new song
Teach the youth to keep on so we can evolve
Then peace, we gone
My brother, the beat goes on
It goes
1111,1212
Yeah!
Peace to A Tribe Called Quest
Q-Tip
Ali Shaheed
Jarobi
And R.I.P. to the Dawg
Phife Diggy
Most definitely
Peace to my homie, Maxamill, on this track
Taking me back
What stays in motion always will be in motion
And it all goes together perfectly, you know what I’m saying?
It’s called music
Yeah
