[00:00.99]Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, yesterday I saw a B-girl crying
[00:01.88]I walked up and asked what’s wrong
[00:07.20]She told me that the radio’s been playing the same song all day long
[00:11.79]So I told her I got something you’ve been waiting for
[00:14.46]I got something you’ve been waiting for
[00:19.84]Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, I walked up and asked what’s wrong
[00:26.29]She told me that the radio’s been playing the same song all day long
[00:31.79]So get your glass lift it up in the toast position
[00:33.53]We getting paper like John Travolta get it
[00:36.20]’Cause we focused with it, we supposed to get it
[00:38.96]You know me and my whole squad, we so committed

[01:01.72]The generational gap with yet another sensational track
[01:04.50]And we don’t stress for nothing, I just press the button

[01:09.05]To all the frauds, stop faking, relax and to the broads if you caking

[01:14.42]I know the world been waiting for that
[01:16.22]You been aching for that ’cause what they playing on the station is wack
[01:19.95]And I’m a legend in the flesh that dress to impress
[01:21.73]The best is that which I accept and nothing less

[02:02.31]We are the hope of the culture, they supposed to listen
[02:05.07]And I’m supposed to pivot like I’m a forward in the league
[02:07.72]I’m Oden with it
[02:08.63]Yet, don’t owe them niggas nothing but potent lyrics
[02:10.45]But if you ain’t got the dance, they revoke your spinning
[02:13.16]So good rappers ain’t eating they Olsen twining
[02:15.97]But I’m so committed they have grown familiar
[02:18.69]With the counterfeit hitters they so-so with it, but they are Sosa with it
[02:21.38]They Mark McGuire with the written, I’m Rodriguez
[02:24.93]On the road to riches, this is the fork I’m hitting
[02:27.62]This is the trial and error era, no co-defendant
