Whatever It Takes - Outerspace

Now I done came a long way since the lunchroom tables

Cyphering in hallways being young, willing and able

Outerspace always, was ready to do it

Hard to earn, Illmatic played a heavy influence

Scars I burned, still at it I was steady pursuing

A way to get a piece of the pie right through this music

The game kept increasing my high, let’s keep it moving

Till my name gets released in the sky from show improving

For those that shitted on me, there’s no discussion

I’m going six months a year, in and out of clubbing

The other six months I’m seeking out production

Constantly making moves having time for nothing

Constantly breaking rules when it’s time for crushing

Dropping these vicious rhymes on the dime is lovely

Till my squad open wide on the side they love me

Do this for y’all, Planetary, but the rest disgusts me

You have no clue what I do to the rest, they judge me

Give you a few through-and-through, y’all can’t bend or budge me

Since the birth of my son I place no one above him

Till the day that I die I will end you function

Whatever it’s gon' take to make it

When I see my chance Imma take it

Cuz I have came way too far

To let you stop me now

I work hard

It’s more than a matter of pride

I’m using my pen to provide

Cuz I have came way too far

To let you stop me now

I work hard

First place Imma take you, the days evolve

All I bang is Kool G Rap and DJ Polo

We was men at work, should I say youngins just trynna get it

It was always me and Crypt, till this day we never separate

In high school battling they took me lightly

My skin’s a little lighter, at the end they didn’t like me

I cooked them and I took them to a place, they ain’t never been

Hate to see me win cuz it happened over and over again

Created Q-D with El Dorado, till this day that’s still the motto

We gon' lead y’all niggas, hope you follow

My love for Outerspace is deeper than the casket, plus

I had two sons and I named them cannons after us

Crypt, you just planted a seed in your garden

Take care of little Nikki, like our mothers when we starving

The belly of the beast, a feast is unreachable

Gotta get this cheddar now, the youngins they believe in you

Vinnie set the path, now when I hear «Walk With Me»

I hear the hook, that’s where Paz was talking to me

We gon' do it till the 40s start pouring

Till our stones get carved and the blood and ashes start forming
