lyrics

Philmore Greene Verse:

Growing up I would rhyme to myself & imagine the crowds, Vivid imagination stadiums rapping aloud, Granny thinking I’m weird pacing making sounds, Word placement , basically shaping my sound, So what you hear now was made from the ground, Every bar was a chip of gold I was shaping the crown, I’m here now, salute to the king it’s Big Philly, I missed a lot of sleep just for me to speak filthy, I skipped a lot of meals just to spit this real, I dun taught with loved in pursuit for a deal, It’s too real! Sacrifice & dedication, It equals out to a face full of tears & devastation, Just to make it, some a rob & some would kill they brothers, Granny taught me take of self to help others, This is duwop in the Harlem Renaissance era, Philly raps Is like fabrics made for the weather, It’s Tailor made when I’m engraving the page, A cup of henny a lil trees, Neak blazing the sage, The stage is for me to blaze it with vets, A soul at a time slowly they embracing the best, it’s Philmore..

Neak Verse:

Child rebels who pushing every pedal through metals, grew up with screws ups who would ice you for sneaks and apparel, what’s more important, fresh to death or staying alive? What’s going dormant? God's dreams, we simply survive, we living art unblemished it’s Abloh, the premise is Virgil out the ghetto, this newer slave different, no Merlo out the window, I knew my aim shifted, seeing careers going faster like Stanley Kirk’s riches, daily prayers' a keep me close no pair of britches, my daily struggle is affirmations from hellish bitches, see my future idolatrous how I worship the sentence they say that keep me arrested like Earl Simmons uh huh, stone’s thrown, influence so Van Gogh, outlasting the stones throw from Judas culture in names, reaching that plateau that's carrying Nas, still dreaming like his record so I ain’t rocking clothes out of OZ, crown’s heavy, the thrones piecing, I wear it lightly, its well fitted, the pressure slim for an almighty, artist, with legend in em, would've caught the ear of a Chris Lighty, RIP, GSC vs Errrybody......
