Paroles Highs & lows Gorilla Twins, Ill Bill & Nems

Highs & lows

Rahh!
What do you get when the Jew and the Puerto Rican step in the booth?
Haha! Gorilla Twins, motherfucker (Raah!)
I can't tell you about these other rappers
But this shit is all facts (all factual)
Brooklyn, BK all day

Yo, Gorilla Monsoon dropped (wooh!) hardest shit in the street
I been waiting for this my whole life, heart skipped a beat
Quarter million in the first week, shit buzzin'
We was celebratin' all summer on the block with my cousins
Hit the road (vroom) Chicago, PR, the Netherlands (yup)
Enjoyin' life, feelin' like this good karma will never end (never)
Hopped off the plane back in New York, hit the city
Next week I bought a new house shit was litty (yeah!)
Starting to reach my goals and new heights
All the years i did wrong, now I'm finally doing right
Shit, I was having the best summer of my life
Then my 2 cousins got killed in the same night (rahh!)
God damn! - What the fuck just happened?
My whole life just got flipped, who gives a fuck about rappin'?
I wanna know who did it and take action
Had the troops lookin' for him like Bin Laden, shit was on
Then depression set in and I start to mourn (damn)
I don't wanna get outta bed to start the morn (facts)
They just took my best friends, my heart is torn (shit)
I did everythin' with these niggas and now they gone
Tears soakin' the page as I write this song
Was gettin' out, the Devil tried to pull me back in (back in)
But I won't go back, never again (nope)
Ricky and Takeover watching over me, I'm gonna win, yeah

Gotta take a step back (step back)
Life just fucked me up, I ain't expect that (damn)
My mindstate will leave your head cracked, dead facts
But let's get back to the bars, that's what I'm best at
(That's what we best at)
All you see is rhymes and shows (yup)
Think at the afterparty we just findin' hoes (Gunthers)
Overboard is where your mind can go (what)
My whole life is filled with highs and lows

It's like in a split second your whole life can change
Appreciate those who you love
Appreciate every opportunity you get
Yo Bill, talk to 'em

Yo, yo
Most of my favorite rappers don't own they own masters
(That's fucked up)
Sad to fathom Nas doesn't own Illmatic (what the fuck)
Facts - Most major label emcees have their catalog owned by some random record company (Get the fuck outta here)
Luckily I started Uncle Howie early on
The idea of puttin' out my own records turned me on (Independent!)
Non-Phixion, La Coka Nostra appeared (wooh!)
Sold a million dollars worth of t-shirts in our first year (All facts)
Overnight success only took twenty summers (Hah)
Twenty years of failures, and fuck-ups and blunders (All facts)
Through the ups and downs I would just drop another
Album after another album after another (Get 'em!)
Shit happens in between albums
Remember when me and Sean Price was plannin' one? (damn, son)
Our album would have killed people for real
Sean P plus Ill Bill equal The Pill, imagine that
[Chorus/Outro: ILL Bill & Nems]
Yeah, gotta take a step back (step back)
Life just fucked me up, I ain't expect that (what the fuck)
My mindstate will leave your head cracked, dead facts
But let's get back to the bars, that's what I'm best at
(That's what we best at)
All you see is rhymes and shows (That's all you see)
Think at the afterparty we just findin' hoes (It ain't even like that)
Overboard is where your mind can go
My whole life is filled with highs and lows
(Highs and lows, highs and lows, highs and lows...)
(Yeah..)
(Highs and lows, highs and lows, highs and lows...)
