Verse 1: Cas Metah
It's what you come to expect
That raw hip hop in ya deck
And for the record, yeah
I'm still cool with Illect
They helped put me on
so respect to the death
Peace to Plastic he allowed me to stretch
Back to independent I released Old Fashioned
Then one year later, signed to Soulspazm
But a full time rap career, no platinum
have ya low grabbing coleslaw or chromed magnum
Flow so def it come in closed caption
But music ain't paying the bills it's so backwards
The games changed from when I first raptured
Ugh, Jesus Christ these cats are so passive
Lord forgive me but I had ta
lose my religion full of half truth and absolute bastards
Cuz Some of them sons only really half moons
On that "pass the collection, cash rules"
Much love to the authentic God driven
Y'all keep sticking to them assists like Scott Pippen
And love to the fans who know I'm not tripping
Cuz y'all understand the purpose, plot, vision
I'm a sinner living in a flawed system
It's Always The Hard Way like Dibbs and Rob Viktum
a mixtape mixture of Walt White and Walt Whitman
It's gonna be a long ride, just go on, get in
Hook: Cas Metah
Blessed to be the best in the pedigree
Never expect less than heat when we wet the streets
Flow pro's that rep the team and set the speed
Yes indeed, best believe (x2)
Verse 2: Lyriz
I'm not a gimmick, this is art, I'm in it for the ride
Cynical arsenic I'm killing them online
Flow so tremendous, smack you so descendants
feel it, my ascendance on your name mention this
senselessness through my sentences
ain't no question this is the best it gets
Confess your sins, take your vestiges
take your severance package, check your messages
You punk ass bitch, can't just wreck my shit
Fuck you think this is? Me and Cas are the business
end of this monster, and it gets harder
The world keeps spinning, increase the profit margin
Stepping stones cold Providence Road
told them back then get what you sow
Unacceptable I take no O's, 'cept the initial on my last name
Aye "O" well, like I took aim, blaow!
Hook
Verse 3: MP Ancient
We took the expectations, the tones been set,
Set forth to tone it down, no stone Begets,
I condone a lot of shinning, But my known regrets,
Full blown no compensation for my blood, my sweat,
No drugs, no sex, but highlight a lot of skeezers,
Scaly wags and Teasers, that Lollygag with Jesus,
Silver to the Judas while I bare it like a nudist,
The Who’s, who have never heard of me, I guess you blew it,
I’m Guru status in my cult of personality,
Premier when I cut casually, Produce casualties,
One time for the bar that still raising,
Two, three, four, for the shots that won’t graze em,
Mandalay Bay one shooter that’s amazing,
Two muzzle flashes, one killer their Portraying,
Now paint a picture of this world that we stay in,
Beautiful, and wicked, evil, love, Expectations.

Intro:
It's Cas Metah, Yukmouth, Ras Kass
ReFlex the Architect on the beat
About to teach y'all the hustle economics
Let's get it
Verse 1: Cas Metah
I know a lot of emcees like to claim they nice
But can't make a dope album to save they life
Congrats! You filled your notebook with pain and strife
But when I Google your name ain't a thing online
The truth hurts
So when I kick a new verse you curse
Like someone kicked you in the goobers
Prove words with actions, that's all that I'm asking
If you don't have a catalog you don't have a track record
How you rapping and you don't have a tracked record?
Even underground cats have to have work ethic!
If you rocking shows and don't have a merch booth,
how are your supportive fans supposed to reimburse you?
And I don't think I'm better, I want to see y'all profit
It's not rocket science, just hustle economics
Come on let's get together and talk about the topic
It's not rocket science, just hustle economics (Let's go!)
Hook:
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on where all my hustlers? (where all my hustlers?)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (let's get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Verse 2: Yukmouth
(Look, look, Zilla)
Big Daddy and Marley Marl
Eric B. and Rakim I had them all on my wall, dog
Writing raps locked up in juvenile hall
having fantasies of money and visions of how to ball, dog
Fast forward, on tour with Biggie Smalls
It was all a dream now it's plaques up on my wall, Lord
Met Pac now I rock with the Outlawz
did songs with Tha Dogg Pound, smoked pounds with Snoop Dogg, Lord
God blessed I feel blessed
dragon swinging from my neck, Rolex throw up the West, yes
No 360 deal I'm a vet
I invest in my own projects and get a check, yes
Independent grind I'm a hustler
I was taught you got to spend money to make it double up
If you don't know that then step your hustle up
real boss niggas pull strings, you trying to double-dutch
Hook:
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on where all my hustlers? (where all my hustlers?)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (let's get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Verse 3: Ras Kass
I done turned pro from the prelim's
If you living with your BM then stay out them basic chickens DM
Social media to meet booking agents and GM's
promoters that's European, it's called net-work
Cats want all the fame but ain't put in the hard work
throwing bands at strip clubs, albums selling card board
Hustling backwards, cart before the horses
and think side rappers owe you free verses
'cause you so hot
yeah, heard it all a million times
a thousand rappers thinking overnight they getting shine
You talking swag, I'm talking skill, so get in line
or get in grind mode, takes 9 to 5 to get a dime
I spit a rhyme, we mix, master and market, do publishing splits
'cause when the business is handled then we all benefit
like Cumberbatch you been a dick
Arnold, traitor, no wonder you ain't getting rich, stupid
Hook:
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on where all my hustlers? (where all my hustlers?)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get our hustle up (let's get our hustle up)
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it
Come on let's get it get it

Verse 1: Cas Metah
They tell me knock 'em out the box Cas, bring the "Boom"
Like Prhyme in their origin story, see the truth
New schoolers don't know the time
They at a quarter to boring
and its sad that it's sort of the normal thing to view
That's why I stay grimy
Underground in these slimy sewers where you'll find me
Not a nice guy, I'm Mister make ya eyes bleed
If you say my rhyme scheme stuck in the 90's
what you meant to say was I don't fit that fake fluff
artificial unintelligent make up of today's entertainers
Better change ya radio dial or you'll be waiting a while
Outside Kendrick and Cole they giving us coal
for Christmas and calling it cold, it's getting old
Don't get me wrong I know there's dope emcees
But I don't see one mainstream doper than me
Hook x2:
Keep ya ears low to the pavement
Listen for the amazing arrangement
This a boom bap Midwest invasion
So watch my rhyme-millimeter go bang
Keep ya ears low to the pavement
Listen for the amazing arrangement
This a boom bap Midwest invasion
Now watch my rhyme-millimeter go bang
Verse 2: Aztek The Barfly
It ain't right
Read a blog the other day and bet I ain't say one single rapper name right
It's game time so lace up and forget it
Never let you knock me off my pivot, lets get it
I cope with distress 'til I'm with it
and I ain't been depressed in a minute
Shit, I ain't been impressed in a minute
I'm sighing at the best of your gimmicks
swear I'm trying but they testing the limits
Now I'm flying with the rest of the spirits
Lyrics ain't fly with the critics
Fuck 'em I was raised on that "Microphone Fiend"
Boogie Down shit, west coast dope, cooking up a dream
Winners is chose man these spitters ain't cold
why you think "Stairway" mention glitter and gold
I'm saying pay attention and ya view my change
now ya know how I do my thang, let it go bang!
Hook x2:
Keep ya ears low to the pavement
Listen for the amazing arrangement
This a boom bap Midwest invasion
So watch my rhyme-millimeter go bang
Keep ya ears low to the pavement
Listen for the amazing arrangement
This a boom bap Midwest invasion
Now watch my rhyme-millimeter go bang
