lyrics

[Intro: Nella]
Y'all just 'gon' sit there?
I'm a need y'all to stand up! Ay!

[Verse 1: Jet 2]
Man I was a youngin' since I visioned about the mission
Swear I had a plan, all I needed was God's permission
Since the propeller days, I knew that I was here to stay
I knew that I would never fade
Since banging pots up in the kitchen
Drummer boy, Jet 2 been through a lot to be specific
Break a leg, oh shin(ocean) not to be Pacific
Barely got the grades, but I was still out to be prolific
Guess the teachers couldn't tell,
But you could hear it in my lyrics
Destiny is mine and success, I'm critically near it
Always stayed inspired, I probably fought it if I feared it
I skirr... if I was on the wrong path
Family united, stayed away from division like long math
But I seen the vision like a split inside the retina
Going fishing, caught a Tetra, was as lost as professors
Teaching the wrong class...
But bet I'm found now,
Screeching through the ears like a chalkboard long slash

[Hook: Jet 2 & Nella]
You know why?
That feeling you can't fight the feeling,
You're so high
There ain't nothing like finally feeling you're inspired
'Cause I'm on a roll now, me they couldn't hold down
Baby, this a showdown, nigga
(Stand up)
When they tell you slow down nigga
(Stand up)
If you wouldn't let it go down then you'll
(Stand up)
If you're on a roll, then when you
(Stand up)
They can never tell you sit down boy!

[Verse 2: Vé317]
Came in on my ten toes,
Standing on my tip toes
Looking for a woman I considered to have big goals
Not one with a big noes that's tryin' to expose me
Like Kobe, 'cause she wanna be nosey
Said I wouldn't make it? Well it's Mr. All-Nighter
No brakes, all tires, so they must've been mistaken
See weed will get you high,
But Vé'll get you inspired,
Get you lifted get you higher like a grinder and a lighter
And... I don't really care, because the Lord is my provider
So the board that I was ridin'
Got the ground shaking that's on the floor right beside us
This is hot fire, you can call me Dilan
Let bygone be bygone,
I'm rapping to the pylon
Because I need six figures,
Got the knowledge up in my palm
And I got that from my mom
Typically, these rappers swear that they can limit me,
But Bob Marley reincarnated and I'm hunting the indusrty
Stay broke or go mainstream...
Better flex yo' options
I'm something they can't see,
Underground like fiber optics,
Who said that they can top it?
Must've been a different topic
Ever verse and every word that every person's ever heard
Is too melodic, get yo' dollars!

[Hook: Jet 2 & Nella]
You know why?
That feeling you can't fight the feeling,
You're so high
There ain't nothing like finally feeling you're inspired
'Cause I'm on a roll now, me they couldn't hold down
Baby, this a showdown, nigga
(Stand up)
When they tell you slow down nigga
(Stand up)
If you wouldn't let it go down then you'll
(Stand up)
If you're on a roll, then when you
(Stand up)
They can never tell you sit down boy!

[Verse 2: Jet 2]
Word to Yaxxs fresh, denim blue, black vest
Outfit off the chain, we call that interview tactics
Used to be in pain,
But now we're inspired, the tracks ripped
Life is grade A like an honor student transcript
Got the type of flow to make you wanna do a backflip
I won't hit the J, but you can light it up and pass it
Wrekless said I can do it, so I'm all about making classics
We mastered the art of dreaming and we're a family,
That's it...
Seatbelt fastened... riding in the whip like we can't sit
Moving faster than that traffic jam shit
Setting goals and soon all of us move into a mansion
We do it and you're surprised,
We think like we planned this
Tryin' to tour the whole world, we think like we planet
Doing anything that it takes to withstand
Any situation, occurrence or circumstance that happens
Fresh on campus, you know you can't... stand it!

[Hook: Jet 2 & Nella]
You know why?
That feeling you can't fight the feeling,
You're so high
There ain't nothing like finally feeling you're inspired
'Cause I'm on a roll now, me they couldn't hold down
Baby, this a showdown, nigga
(Stand up)
When they tell you slow down nigga
(Stand up)
If you wouldn't let it go down then you'll
(Stand up)
If you're on a roll, then when you
(Stand up)
They can never tell you sit down boy!

[Outro: Nella]
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout, standing up!
Wrekless!

[Hook]
