about

Precyce Politix has been on my last three releases and usually when we get together, we just bar out. This time I wanted to do something with a little more substance. Also on this track is super talented emcee/producer, Sharp Cuts...you'll be hearing more from the three of us very soon. Side note: both Precyce's grandmother and my grandmother's last words to us (respectively) started with "get yourself together"...life man.

lyrics

Verse 1 Mallz
My grandma’s last words were, “boy get yourself together”
Shook me to my core. I’ll keep that memory forever
Ever since that day, I’ve moved with a sense of purpose
It’s so much deeper than the face you’re seeing on the surface
Some try to purchase clout. They don’t know you gotta earn it
Been working. Both ends of the candlewick are burning
Before that light fizzles, know that I’ve been right with you
My growth potential just exploded like loaded pistols
Fuck who’s against you when you always defy the odds
The Mallz discography can double as a memoir
You heard the exposition. Witnessed my rising action
The cast of characters have changed but I’m the main attraction
Kept it consistent and handled my business
Learned who I can trust and who to keep at a distance
Cause the wrong ones can bring your downfall in an instant
That’s why I bet on myself til the moment I’m finished

Chorus (repeat 2x)
I sit back and watch the world spin.
I sit back and watch the world spin
From a remote location. My mind is like a whirlwind.
I sit back and watch the world spin

Verse 2 Precyce Politix
My grandma’s last words were “boy get yourself together
“And stop crying for the lord’s promise is forever
“I’m going home to my father’s kingdom for the better”
That was her final sentence to the letter
The first time I ever dealt with death
Taught me how to keep the faith when there was nothing left
Used to have to help her going up the steps
That taught me family can lean on each other
The Bloodsport Champs, me and my brother
The hard times pushing me to discover just what a motherfucker’s made of
Knowing that there’s more to life than politics and paystubs
Gotta teach our kids to follow dreams and do what they love
And I was taught to play it hard no matter what the game was
Dedicate my life to providing for my son
Dodging bullets heavy. But I’m never hiding from the gun
Put that on my grave “Cyce the brave never tried to run
If it wasn’t for my faith in God, satan might have won
You better praise Him

Chorus (repeat 2x)

Verse 3 Sharp Cuts
The older that I get, the more wise
And I find it easier to see where a friend’s loyalty lies
Wool sweaters insulating wolves in disguise
Gained some. Lost some. Couple of more by surprise
Easier to move forward with no rearview mirrors
Letting go of the past can make the future clearer
I can’t focus on those who did me wrong cause I might
Miss the opportunity to celebrate who did right
Yo. I blew a couple chances with friends to mend fractures
Gotta live with it but I can’t look backwards
Cause how could I ever find happiness
If I can’t forgive others and kill my own abhorrence
Ego. Sometimes as men that’s all we know
Quit hating yourself and love yourself then up we go
I can’t change nothing but I’ll make a better new something
I’m through fronting. Time to move something

Chorus (repeat 2x:
