[Chorus 1 - Freeway]
|
Now everybody throw your hands up, it's "The Stimulus Package"
|
Now throw your hands up, we givin back to the people
|
Now throw your hands up, if you rockin with Jake One and Philly Freezer
|
Everybody throw your hands up, it's "The Stimulus Package"
|
Now throw your hands up, we givin back to the people
|
So throw your hands up, if you rockin with Jake One and Philly Freezer
|
|
[Verse 1 - Freeway]
|
I'm talkin Gang Starr and Naughty, way before B.I.G. and 'Pac was discussed
|
I had my walkman in my pocket, used to hop on the bus
|
I used to rock it, used to knock until the mixtape popped
|
Tribe Called Quest and Black Sheep was knockin to us
|
Yeah, Leaders of the New, I'm from the old school
|
I'm about to bring y'all people new school, hip-hop you can trust
|
I'm from the Roc-A, yeah, your sisters hung my posters in they lockers
|
But I still got that knock that makes the people bop they head
|
I am alive, so the "Dynasty's" not dead
|
I have arrived, I came to snatch your spots so switch your locks up
|
Robin Hood, I steal from the rich, give to the poor
|
Represent for all my bulls that are shackled up and locked up
|
You know what's ill, prior to the deal
|
Was in the same boat as them but I made it out of my cuffs
|
So I will, deliver to the Phill'
|
Promise to keep it real, show skills, heat the mic up, yeah
|
|
[Chorus 2 - Freeway]
|
Throw your hands up, it's "The Stimulus Package"
|
Now throw your hands up, we givin back to the people
|
Now throw your hands up, if you rockin with Jake One and Philly Freezer
|
Everybody throw your hands up, it's "The Stimulus Package"
|
Now throw your hands up, we givin back to the people
|
So throw your hands up, if you rockin with Jake One and Philly Freezer
|
|
[Verse 2 - Freeway]
|
We bringin y'all Original Flavor, raised off De La
|
Kept Black Moon in my boombox player
|
Back in the day I used to steal that nigga Rakim's style
|
When I flowed and I didn't say "may I?"
|
Let's say I was 16 years old
|
Then I grew and learned how to cross over like A.I.
|
Yup, stack paper, every since that day I
|
Made moves, listen to Wu with (Cash Rules)
|
Now my own entity, official Rhymesayer
|
Boss player, don't ask nobody for favors
|
Before I met Jay I been knew that the "Streets Watch"
|
It's Barack of the block, doin hip-hop a favor (what's that?)
|
Bringin that realness back, it's "The Stimulus Pack'"
|
All fake and false rappers can fall and collapse
|
Drop and die, them and I
|
Will not miss you, no ribbon in the sky, no!
|
|
[Chorus 1]
|
|
[Verse 3 - Freeway]
|
I remember when I was first tryin to be a rapper guy
|
Like Pharcyde, the labels kept on (Passin' Me By)
|
Nowadays when I hit 'em with the flow again
|
They like "there he go again, the dopest Ethopian"
|
Nope, Afro-American, hit y'all with the realness, I don't hit y'all
|
with the babblin
|
Hit y'all with the songs, then I hit y'all with the battlin
|
Drug traffickin, drop "The Stimulus Package"
|
Watch these rappers follow my pattern, yeah!
|
|
[Chorus 2]
|
|
[Outro - Freeway - 2X]
|
Now everybody throw you hands up (hands up ...)
|
Now throw your hands up (hands up ...)
|
Throw your hands up (hands up ...)
|
Now throw your hands up (hands up ...)
|
