P.O [ft. Black Thought] [Prd. by Kaytranada]

(Kaytranada, classic timing)

Beating up the block from the morn' til the day up (classic)

Money going down for the ones don't stay up (cl-cl-cl-classic)

Serving hand-to-hand, every dollar is a lay-up (classic)

Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors (t-t-t-timing)

News called, discovered now no longer how it is how we play

Change it to a different sound system

And all of di victim dem, y'hear me say?

Beating up the block from the morn' til the day up

Money going down for the ones don't stay up

Serving hand-to-hand, every dollar is a lay-up

Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors

She-la-la-la-la-la-la, bum-bum, she-lay, uh

We get enough to get some money today, uh

She-la-la-la-la-la-la, bum-bum, she-la, uh

See, either way these niggas know that I'ma ride

Yeah, I got 'em switching sides (move)

To the getting money side (move)

I see it in her eyes (move)

They only see her thighs (move)

She out to set me up (move)

So they can hit me up (move)

Been bright as days that's sunny since I sipped the sippy cup (move)

Fuck all the allegations (move)

Let's see the evidence (move)

If you ain't catch me in the action, it's irrelevant (move)

If you ain't catch me in the motion then I'm motionless (move)

They wanna see me in a box or want to see me dead

They see it equal, though I want to see the latter less

The thought of breaking down them ounces, add a ounce of stress

Either way I hustle on the block until I cash the check

Jump outs giving pop quizzes, I'ma pass the test

Beating up the block from the morn' til the day up

Money going down for the ones don't stay up

Serving hand-to-hand, every dollar is a lay-up

Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors

She-la-la-la-la-la-la, bum-bum, she-lay, uh

We get enough to get some money today, uh

She-la-la-la-la-la-la, bum-bum, she-la, uh

See, either way these niggas know that I'ma ride

Ayy, ayy, I'm one of them

I paid the price, now I live life above the rim

I'll show you how to separate the rock from the gem

From Philly, where it's people gettin' popped on a whim

Pray you not one of them, with your spot run up in

I know what's more powerful, the pistol or the pen?

I'll show you how to separate them boys from the men

The dollar from the pound from the Euro from the Yen

With just a tug of the tie knot, tilt of the brim

So when them stakes is high like stilts, I'ma win

In spite of hate from blood that was built kind of thin

Careful who you befriend, they will switch up in the end

When intentions all along was just to have you broke with them

That's why I keep these jokers guessing

They ask me my profession, I tell 'em it's manifesting

They check for my direction, I change it, I'm ambidextrous

My balance'll never be anorexic, how I'm eating while I'm beating up the

Block from the morn' til the day up

Money going down for the ones don't stay up

Serving hand-to-hand, every dollar is a lay-up

Bando next door, got fiends as my neighbors

She-la-la-la-la-la-la, bum-bum, she-lay, uh

We get enough to get some money today, uh

She-la-la-la-la-la-la, bum-bum, she-la, uh

See, either way these niggas know that I'ma ride
