It was a dream, you could not mess with the Beam This is like this many rings You know what I mean? This for the kids of the king of all kings This is the holiest thing This is the beat that played under the words This is the sheep that ain't like what it heard This is officially first This is the third This is all we got Isn't this all we got? So we might as well give it all we got This is all we got Music all we got, got, got So we might as well give it all we got I get my word from the sermon I do not talk to the serpent That's the holistic discernment Daddy said I'm so determined Told me these goofies can't hurt me I just might make me some earl tea I was baptized like real early I might give satan a swirlie Wish I could tell you it's ready Tell you it's ready today They don't give nothing away You gotta fight for your way And that don't take nothing away Cause at the end of the day Music all we got Isn't this all we got? So we might as well give it all we got Music all we got We know, we know we got it Music We know, we know we got it Music Music is all we got
