Green and Gold - The Anonymous, Vesuveo, Able

What would it take to push a man

Far enough to put something material over a human life

What would drive someone completely over the edge

To do some shit like that for green and gold

I done filled my lungs up with so much of this Crack smoke

My neck’s bloated, my tech’s loaded I’m flat broke and I’m pissed off

Mad at the world I’ve had it with girls and I’m frustrated

Ran to the bus stop just made it and hopped on

Ready to drop bombs on the first person

Who had a nice suit and a watch on

I spot John white collar worker in clean cut

Walked up to him, he’s like «What?»

What you mean «What?»

You know what time it is man

At your next stop gimme that rolex watch

With that diamond wristband

Got his green and his gold dashed and climbed in this van

To steal it and seen a man holding a nine in his hand

Shot him from the bottom up

Stole his keys put 'em inside the ignition and got 'em stuck

Hopped out to flee on my feet

Fucked around and forgot that I left my ID on the seat

Your arrival, want survival, but is you fit?

Your arrival, want survival, but is you fit?

I’m rising with the sun

Synthesized with the universal

I’m goin' to be a better man and this be my rehearsal

For the future, this your game

Make a name to get the fame and the dame

Forget the same as everybody who came

Before it’s simple and plain

You be a mere facsimile

Fallen like Gallipoli

Thinking y’all from Italy

But I’m the goumba and I’m working hard at my craft

Great grandpa carried concrete up a shaft

What did you laugh?

Huh?

Yeah you

You think it’s funny raising 14 kids

Without no books, without no money

Ma got honey, funny thing it’s that you think you’re seeing me

A mere reflection in the mirror here I come I’m getting nearer

Coming even closer can you feel a realer presence in your being?

We inside lyrical ride and I advise you now you’re seeing

A true seer never fear cause I’m here in your midst forever

Cleverly helping you better see yourself that be my gist

Open fisted let my energy flow we good to go

It’s Able bodied, Mr. Zinn, Vesuveo Survivor Soul

Watch 'em fold hold the gold smoke the green gimme the gravy

Give it up don’t give a fuck like Slim Shady

Between you and me I can see in yo eyes

Wise to the next stay in checkmate

Getcha your Green getcha Gold

It come between me and you

Will lost getcha gold heaven hold getcha green

'Tween you and me I can see in yo eyes

Wise to the next stay in checkmate

Getcha your Green getcha Gold

It come between me and you

Will die sold a soul for green and gold now say goodbye

Should I ever live to fulfill this dream

Would I ever kill for the life of the team?

If I ever came between you and the green

Who’s the fiend?

By any necessary means

I chase a dream that’s deep like space

To conquer then escape from this place without a trace

But I await to face personal mercenaries

Bounty hunters wanna check me for my nickel bags

I’ll be smoking 'til my eyes bleed: red

Meet me if you can then proceed ahead

Reach for what you need now

No time to think just move and react

Who you gonna call when the wall is at your back?

Trying to blitzkrieg me for the sack

Fiends better believe me sure as I breathe

Their teams be getting touched back

Rush me and I cut back the rumor that you only live once

Let’s put it to the test so we can live like legends

Down to hold the line like Selassie

Hold the seventh seal of heaven every time

If a subtleties committed somebody fumbled the dime

Winners guzzle the wine I smuggle mine with them

But he who has the whole nine

Will always double down and play for ten

These are the rules adversaries stayin' cool

Shooting glances like pool

While you dying for the change

I’m changing for the principle

Mystical rebel soul in the physical

Behold the gold but don’t fold for the green

Untold best unkept secret unseen

A king should only tell his queen one thing

The light sleeper is the keeper of the team

But keep it between you and me
