Round Trip
2008 (Long time coming, ain't it?)
Full circle (Statik Selektah)
Round and round, round we go
"Round Trip", c'mon (Showoff!)
Once upon a time not long ago
There was some kids from Mass that just wanted to flow
We would break dance
DJ and MC
Now I'm showin' my age
We started back in the 90's
When the rappin' was grimey
And the beats was raw
Linoleum on the floor
And graffiti on the wall
Fast forward now and we all got catalog
Been around the world doin' shows and tours
Put our city on the map
And we open up the doors for the next generation
Made it easy for y'all
So much change
We all got kids and cribs
Grew up poor but made sure our children never did
Showoff vs Everybody
Legendary parties
Ladies in lingerie we puffin' that Bob Marley
Tore it down with my brothers from the stage to the booth
Hip Hop you the love of my life now
And that's true
Words limited blurred images, sure to reminisce the urge
When is your track finished it's time served
Sentences benefited from what I observed
Pure proof in the hangover pain over
Nerve of us, beefin' in the elevator
Try'na separate us
Still emotion be a part of our greatness
Please concur when people talk
Keep a pole for the law
Hardcore recording in the BX me and T blessed and the rest is history
Drink Champs for the podcast
Symmetry may our past remind y'all
Chemistry is born in the cypher
A cypher is a circle
A circle full when it's universal
Keep showin' off
Let's journey back to all the pain, all the hurt inside
If you had a verse that'll be first in line
Showoff face man we was all servin' time
Boston to NY it was worth the ride
Eyes in my rearview we made classics
Music was never off, we was awake rappin'
Up late 2008 we stay craftin'
Head poundin' full circle like an aspirin
Nowadays the facts is this
After 16 years we'll be rappin' my bid
There'll be no spell my name right no stick to the script
Showoff is the label
Round Trip
One love my brother Statik
God bless your heart
My somewhat rap career you were an integral part
Gave me your platform so I could spread my art
But what they heard was Showoff til death do us part
From hundreds at shows gettin' drunk with my bros
We in that basement going dumb with the flows
Beats from Premier even 9th Wonder I owe to my brother for sure
To wild times where we was almost coming to blows
Fuck it it's under the rug
Take the good with the bad the bad get trumped by the love
Fill a glass raising up for my bruv
Reks JFK Term too
We had to bring it Full Circle
Round and round, round we go
Full, full, full, full circle
Round and round, round we go
I'm showing off with Statik (Full circle)
All I got left in the end is my b–best friends
And we all goin' out (Full, full circle)
Round and round, round we go
I'm showing off with Statik (Full circle)
You showing off? I'm showing off
This is DJ Premier
And Showoff Records is all real (Real, real, real, real)
Grim Creepers! (Let's creep)
What do you do?
I just go from place to place and, do what I do best
What's that? (Sh-Sh-Show off)
There is not a cause for alarm
(They, uh, many of the things that
What we said where one-hundred percent correct)
I am officially declaring a national emergency
It's okay (Go 'head, I see you)
Everyone's okay (okay, uhh, Statik Selektah)
It's okay (it will be okay)
Everyone's okay ("Round Trip")
It's okay (It's not okay, oh)
It's okay (Okay)
It's okay
Everyone's o-okay ("Round Trip")
It's okay
