Whatever It Takes

Yeah Blood and Ashes uh-hu lets go

Now i done came a long way
Since the lunch room tables
Cypherin in hallways
Being young willing and able
Outerspace always

Was ready to do it hard to earn
Illmatic played a heavy influence
Scars I burned still
At it I was steady pursuing
A way to get a piece
Of this pie right through this music
The game kept increasing
My high lets keep it moving
Till my name get released is the sky
From show improving
For those that shited on me
Theres no discussion
Im goin six months a year
In and out of clubbing
The other six months
Im seekin out production
Constantly makin moves
Havin time for nothing

Constantly breaking rules
When its time for crushing
Dropping these vicious rhymes
On the dime is lovely
Till my squad open wide
On the side they love me
Do this for yall Planetary
But the rest disgust me
You have no clue
What I do to the rest they judge me
Give you a few through-and-through
Yall cant bend or budge me
Since the birth of my son
I place no one above him
Till the day that I die
I will end you function

Whatever its gone take to make it
When I see my chance Im take it
Coz I have came way to far
To let you stop me now

I work hard
Its more than a matter of pride

Im usin my pen to provide
Coz I have came way to far
To let you stop me now

I work hard
First place Im'a take you
The days evolve
All I bang is Kool G rap and DJ Polo

We was men at work
Should i say youngins jus try to get it
It was always me and Crypt
Till this day we never separate
In high school battling
They took me lightly
My skins a little lighter
At the end they didnt like me
I cooked them
And i took them to a place
They aint never been
Hate to see me win
Coz it happened over and over again

Created Q-D with El Dorado
Till this day its still the motto
We gone leave you niggas hope yall follow
My love for Outerspace is
Deeper than the casket plus
I had two sons
And i named them cannons after us

Crypt you just planted a seed in yo garden
Take care of little Nikki
Like our mothers when we starvin
The belly of the beast
A feast is un -reachable
Gotta get this cheddar
Now the youngins they believe in you
Vinnie set the path
Now when i hear Walk With Me
I hear the hook
Thats where Paz was talkin to me
We gone do it till the 40s start pouring
Till our stones get carved and the Blood
And Ashes start forming

Whatever its gone take to make it

When I see my chance Ima take it

Coz I have came way to far
To let you stop me now
I work hard
Its more than a matter of pride

Im usin my pen to provide
Coz I have came way to far
To let you stop me now
I work hard

Whatever its gone take to make it

When I see my chance Ima take it
Coz I have came way to far
To let you stop me now
I work hard

Its more than a matter of pride
Im usin my pen to provide

Coz I have came way to far
To let you stop me now

I work hard
