"To RockThe Mic" lyrics

Yeah, uh

Sittin' in the pocket, waitin' for the blastoff
You ain't gotta bow but legends take they hats off
One of a few, thorough when I come through
I hit the kids with these jewels when it's time to
Been up top, penthouse view
Can't be stopped by even what I been through
What I been through coulda shook my mental
But I kept it all together, I was meant to
Live big, shine bright
Aim high, that's Lyte
Even on my worst days, I could see way beyond
They try to beat up on her, we say "We on"
Get money, flyin' high in these private jets
Eatin' candy rappers off these new china sets
Hang it up, you know it's time to rest
Gotta admit, boy, your girl is more than kinda blessed

Proceed

And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")

Yeah

Damn, it feels good to see people up on it
Buildings up and down the block, yep, we own it
When you callin' all the shots and wake up in the morning
Big boss on the move, thank God I been promoted
Bad news, I tell 'em "Hold it"
B.S., I outgrown it
And if I ever been misquoted
I can set the story straight and get all them haters moded
Head down, I get my work done
Knowing that I'm worth somethin', can't none tell me nothin'
Reachin' for them sky heights knowin' I'm the highlight
I walk in and get the room hype
Sashay in, my cache is
One of the most prevalent in the biz
Lyte as a rock, that's my mantra
We gotta talk Lyte if you discussin' the genre

Proceed

And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")

Yeah, one, two ("And you don't stop"), uh

Advice comes a dime a dozen, you should keep yours
You ain't got nothin' for me without flaws
You should say nothin' to me without cause
Hearin' talk that's just talk I can't afford
Ain't nothin' over here but the fear of God
Life without Him I hear is hard
I don't ever wanna go that far
I know the source of my strength and that's my God Squad
They live big, they shine bright
They aim high, game tight
Still winnin' in the aftermath (Yeah)
What I seen through the years, you would have to laugh
To stop from cryin', the young stay dyin'
Way before they time, they get cut tryin'
Tryna make a dollar out a couple of cents
Choose the power of prayer, now you could put that in print

("L.A. rapper and the activist Nipsey Hussle, the rap star...")
("...somebody's accused of killing Memphis rapper Young Dolph")
Proceed

And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")
And I shall proceed, and continue to rock the mic
("And you don't stop")

To rock the mic
To rock the mic ("And you don't stop")
To rock the mic
To rock the mic ("And you don't stop")
To rock the mic, to the rock the mic
