Lyrics

Chorus 2x

It's like an old friend when I'm grabbing my pen
I resurrect the mic so I can kill it again
It's like an old friend when I'm grabbing my pen
I stand in front of the mic so I can do it again

Verse 1

Come with me as we journey through the sound
We aint tryna have no record labels water us down
It's been a minute since we've been around and now
Everybodies noticing the team that we found
ILP has set our artistry free
While Isaac's beats are gettin' blast in the streets
Classic hip hop spots like dark parking lots
Get to cypherin' n' spittin' everything ya got
Back to how it used to be with beats and rhymes
Penetrate the listener a bar at a time
The culture ain't dead they're just tryna kill it
But despite everything they just can't will it
So they're just taking it in
Well let madness begin
It's looking like an old friend
Every time when I'm grabbing my pen

Chorus 2x

It's like an old friend when I'm grabbing my pen
I resurrect the mic so I can kill it again
It's like an old friend when I'm grabbing my pen
I stand in front of the mic so I can do it again

Verse 2

This joint's fly to a new height
As I came up I heard Pac screamin' about thug life
He also said getcha mind made right
Knowing full well we in hell and we gotta fight
Yea I pay homage to my roots
To everything and everyone who ever rooted me in truth
I give y'all thanks for paving the way
For cementing a place where this music can stay
I said im'a proud student of the game
And that's somethin' they can never take away
Don't get it twisted I ain't doin this for the fame
I do it cuz I got something to say
So we're just taking it in
Well let blessings begin
It's looking like an old friend
Every time when I'm grabbing my pen

Chorus 4x

It's like an old friend when I'm grabbing my pen
I resurrect the mic so I can kill it again
It's like an old friend when I'm grabbing my pen
I stand in front of the mic so I can do it again
