Routine - Empire Cast, Yazz

Uh-huh

Yeah

Uh

I like that bass

Uh-huh

Yeah

Look, I don’t need no introduction

Finna do it big as Paul Bunyan

Flows be hittin' hard enough to give concussions

Pardon the interruption

But I don’t pull no punches

And all I really need to kill a beat

A little keys and some percussion

Like it’s nothin'

You already know who it is

They ain’t never «Lyon"when they sayin' Lucious equipped

Livin' legend in the makin', yeah I’m flippin' the script

Made it to the studio from slingin' dope as a kid, dig?

Nine years up under my belt next to the nine milli

Hot boy, make the summertime seem chilly

Got no help and still I made it to NY from Philly

oh, really?

I’m the GOAT, no Billy

Yo, you all so silly, don’t test me

I am the one 'cause the One above blessed me

Sellin' CDs out the trunk

Seven dollars, what you want

I could never fake the funk

No, you smell me?

Toothpaste, boots laced, that’s the routine

Block hot, dodge cops, that’s the routine

In the game where there ain’t no referees

And the only guarantee

Is that nothin' comes for free

Toothpaste, boots laced, that’s the routine

Block hot, dodge cops, that’s the routine

In the game where there ain’t no referees

And the only guarantee

Is that nothin' comes for free

Born to hustle first, blow secondary

Makin' big moves, all the rest sedentary

Pops passed but the drive in me hereditary

From the block where the Glock always necessary

Ran the streets like three blind mice, uh-huh

Still seen a lot in this brief lifetime

On the corner, dad killed, mom bipolar

I was servin' them before I even had my molars

Dodgin' bullets, dodgin' cops

Whippin' up and washin' pots

Check the time, atomic clock

Money on the choppin' block

Gotta ride or die with me, I love my sweets

This is the home of the fellas, and I love these streets

They say crime runs rampant, I was rampant as hell

'Cause life was hell on earth and now it’s treatin' me well

As a smooth criminal

Rhymes at the pinnacle

'Bout to run the game, y’all just runnin' on electrical

Toothpaste, boots laced, that’s the routine

Block hot, dodge cops, that’s the routine

In the game where there ain’t no referees

And the only guarantee

Is that nothin' comes for free

Toothpaste, boots laced, that’s the routine

Block hot, dodge cops, that’s the routine

In the game where there ain’t no referees

And the only guarantee

Is that nothin' comes for free
