Full Song Lyrics:
Verbal D
Verse 1:
Take a trip into my mind
If you've got the time then I'm about to show
Got a lesson for the people
It's about that time that I let you know
They backed us against the wall
We ain't backing up no mo'
Yeah they wanted us evicted
But we ain't packing up to go

Riptide, sit tight
Gon' ride it like it's zip lined
Can't get tired, with them tripwires
Gotta run tracks 'til I rip thighs
Incline when I spit lines
Enzymes when I end rhymes
Catalyst to my split mind
Manuscripts are now intertwined
![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://media0.giphy.com/media/tLtO2OVo7b2zC/giphy.gif)
Water flow but no gin, wine
No heart of gold is no friend of mine
Stay genuine and passionate
Never be the devil's advocate
Move like a rebel activist
Not one bit inanimate
Smooth like a levelled avalanche
A clean approach immaculate

No skeletons in my cabinet
Unlike presidential candidates
No alchemists or amulets
My alphabet's an analyst
Critical and adequate
Equipped to go and adamant
None of my words were accident
This college kid's turned graduate

Repeat Hook:
Take a trip into my mind
If you've got the time then I'm about to show
Gotta lesson for the people
It's about that time that I let you know
They backed us against the wall
We ain't backing up no mo'
Yeah they wanted us evicted
But we ain't packing up to go, go, go...
