lyrics

I see what y’all doing
And uh, I’m not impressed

Time to elevate the industry
New element this chemistry
A while different energy
TC brings a remedy
I can’t wait for you to see
Bouta fill a vacancy
Fighting through the latency
Persevering patiently
Please don’t hate on me if you don’t know my A to Z
My wive gets A to V
J & Rock saw my A to T
Tae blessed my A to P
V&M got my A to G
FBI track my A to E
But you don’t know my A to D
Or my A to C
All you see is IG moving A to B
Aw geez, we naturally what you pay to be
In the green pastures we are settling
I'm a black bastard in a wedding ring
All that red blood shed from my sharp edge
Put that yellow tape all around your heart ledge
Man I miss the blue skies of Bahamas
Way fewer clear tears, less drama
Feet in the white sand, thinking bout momma
Young black man, crown me with honor
Then I take crown, throw it on the ground
Blue hair bowed, giving thanks to my Father
Let me break it down, life is really wild
But I still smile, cause they can’t pierce the armor
Always had style, since I was a child
Wore a shirt and tie as a teenage barber
Tina looking down I’ma make her proud
Tryna have my name with the Garvey’s and Carver’s, it’s Carter!

[Message from Great Great Great Great grandson]

Wait, like Shawn and Dwayne?
Are you three related?
Cause now that I play this?
You do sound familiar
You sound scholarly, like you studied the game
Like for years you sat and soaked up from the greats
You said it’s pronounced Tres?
Like Uno Dos Tres
Got it! I won’t forget that
But real rap you can really rap
Lemme give you dap
you hot so get back to that

[*TC clears throat]

Hard to believe that I’m really back
I'm a barbering stylist
No surprise I can lay a track
That’s a double entendre
They know I’m spitting all facts
Played your song, it was so wack, we turned it off

BOOOOOO!
