(Intro)
Attention, H-Town rappers!
There's a gold rush special in the mic department!
Get your asses up, and go get some!
(Verse 1)
You know it's on by the echo of exploding bombs
Everything you thought was going on is going, going, gone
It's a new era now, let's try to make it last
Wash the grime away and finally annihilate the past
Take a look around, don't we look alive and with a purpose
After spending too much time in deadly silence on the circuit
Now our quiet little perfect world is rising to thе surface
Underground full of diamonds, come and minе it till it's worthless
I'm dipping, diving, ducking and deking to get a decent take
Getting a piece of the pie nowadays won't be a piece of cake
Never mind where we keep the faith, it's hidden inside a secret place
But legacies can never be defaced over these beats and breaks
Too many times before, treated as stepchildren
That's why you'll find us with both feet on your neck, chilling
Making ourselves at home until it's time to make the next million
Created a culture from this contraption we were left building
(Chorus - x2)
Where did everybody go in a rush
Now they all crawl back cause they know what's up
It's a gold rush in these streets, let's get it
Saddle up, head for the hills, you know the drill
(Verse 2)
You see the evidence of residential resonance
Eliminating irrelevance with every available element
Check every crevice and every corridor, you'll find another MC
On the way to pawn some tapes in front of the corner store
Look to the left and you will see a fresh cypher brewing
The missing piece for release after many nights in ruin
And on your right, peep the sound cave under contruction
We're ready to tear the roof off, but that's another discussion
It wasn't long ago we had nowhere to go for the gold
Made a last-ditch effort, call it one more for the road
Took it to them iceheads, when they were trying to find their feet
Downtown came uptown vibing to a 90s beat
So don't be alarmed if you feel the earth begin to move
We waited many moons for the conclusion of this interlude
Win or lose, this show is going on indefinitely
As we set the city on fire until it's extra crispy
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
There's something in the air once again, you got to love it
But everyone else is out for 'em too, so watch your nuggets
So if you're trying to make a living off of that
Got to get it off the bat, never slipping off the tracks
In my semi-pro opinion, if you ask me, the funniest part is
Seeing 'em try to straddle the thin line in the middle of money and art
Forget what you heard, it ain't about who's the hardest
It's about being the first to duck when you're a moving target
(Chorus)
