[Phonte]
Wish me well or call me Ishmael
Croquettes and grits nigga this is that fishscale
This is that dispelled rumor that we not active
My man said Tay come and get your plaque and when I came and got it saw our names was misspelled
Pulled out the parking lot and almost fishtailed
[Pooh]
And almost fishtailed
Pulled out receipts to show my heart don't tell tales
Legends of the fall
I should be appalled but that's par for the course
LB we foot soldiers who don't march to the beat
Everybody's favorite let's keep it discreet
Two sets of footprints laid out at the beach
Avoiding waves
Here my dear let's listen to Marvin Gaye
[Phonte]
Let’s listen to MARVIN Gaye
On a gramophone playing Anna’s Song just to say
You’re coming on to me
And I want you horizontally pronto
So roll that fronto leaf like tonto tonto yeah that’s tonto meat
You have the right to act irresponsibly
Shouts to the ruler
I’m always indebted
Made my first record on an okay computer
Cause I saw where the radio was headed
And still said fuck ‘em like a nigga had a fetish
[Pooh]
Fuck'em like a nigga had a fetish
They should have been vetted
Everyone of y'all get some credit
Filled two sets of books and we never saw a check
What you need in life?
Is it money or respect?
When you got the power then you know you're getting both
The road less traveled then you know you're getting close
[Phonte]
And if they bought your ass a chain
That’s your budget getting choked
That’s a nope for me dawg not willing to do something strange
Be at the mercy of others pullin the puppet strings
I say it gladly I’m not Milton Bradley
So stop playin on my fuckin name
A long way from when I weighed a buck and change
Heavyweight shit
We just make shit to shake all the competition up like Clubber Lang
What a fuckin shame
[Pooh]
And another thang
Wish me well or call me Simon
To no one's surprise
It's looking like we morphing into Lord of the Flies
I just want a slice while maintaining my peace I don't need the whole pie
[Phonte]
Wish me well or call me Ishmael
I’m leaving here with something you can call me Denzel
Everybody know it’s LB nigga

[Pooh]
Glory glory
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Robert Horry
A bit of history
Bitter niggas bore me
All praises due
I was rocking to Kane my brother rocked 'caine too now they dopesick
I author like Beth Macy
Penmanship that drive critics and crowds crazy
Limitless 20 in there's no safety
And we still letting rounds off
Tv in the background with the sound off
Carpet worn back and forth pacing
A better me I was always chasing
Niggas now be content then they get complacent
Origin stories start to change up
Nigga don't ever bring my name up
Unless you talking bout the best still
Break a leg naw I train to kill
Rapping over vocals at shows it shows you still leaning on training wheels
35 time to pay the bill
Aye Dunny talk to'em
A&R I give a spark to'em
I rearrange your whole clip for a grip no discounts
Once it hit quietly dismount
This is full circle or evolution how ever you see it
Just know we cutting through all pollution
Pooh and Tay mix it up that's an ill solution
Add Conductor it's a revolution
Now we televised
[Phonte]
Glory glory my name has been verified
The young boys and the vets they all testified
The game is primitive our differences we can set aside
20 years of evidence fake niggas was terrified
My track record is far beyond any rap record
Do the knowledge and some fact checkin
Through all the trials and the tribulations
Me and Rapper stood adjacent playin through them modulations with no half steppin
They say they love you but they pull out at the last second
A damn shame rap game withdrawal method
Saw my name on the walls of colleges
Where they played LB in pursuit of they scholarships
I am not anonymous
I am the apocalypse
You a koala I’m a grizzly bro we polar opposites
The bare minimum so you know it no stopping this
Leaving niggas senseless
Back in my youth I was defenseless
A manchild scared to get in trouble
In the trenches when my belt got tighter I never buckled
We served up stew and fans opened they mouth wide
But I live in my head and I don’t really do outside
So don’t make me over
44 years and no greys I’m amazed
Can’t believe I made the quota
Pushing dual baby strollers
Puttin words down on the page
With the gaze of a crazed Ray Liotta
Baking soda I got baking soda
Rapper, Tigallo, Dunny, Scudda we takin over
Just cause you don’t have a drink that don’t make you sober
And just cause you don’t write it down that don’t make you Hova
Glory glory the end of my story’s gettin closer
Temperature rising but the world is steady gettin colder
Leave me alone ring the alarm and tell the vultures
Stay the fuck out the garden if you gon whore the culture
