Excellent, 2017 Lyrics - Sho Baraka

Yeah 

Trap, trap jazz 

Hold up, I know you don't want no problems now 

Break it down, there's no way you can keep us out 

Excellence, you know we about our excellence 

Oh lord, oh lord run it back again 

Hat on top 'cause we think excellent 

Frames on straight 'cause I see excellent 

Dressed for success 'cause I be excellent 

Everything we do, everything we do 

Excellent 

TSB 'cause we live excellent 

Art on high 'cause we make excellent 

We thank God 'cause He be excellent 

Everything we do, everything we do 

Ooh!

Bars like Attica 

Rap Benjamin Banneker 

Building up communities, here to raise the standard up 

Excellence 

Yeah that new Peter and Paul 

Gordon Parks, off the charts 

It's Kobe without a ball 

(Excellence) 

Booker T, giving knowledge for cheap 

Smart and cool, that's a college degree 

Excellent like building strong families through years of oppression 

There is no recession when all you know is the great depression 

Reading Phillis Wheatley I'm tryna avoid the greedy 

Mother Teresa in sneakers, tryna serve the needy 

Cool in school, FAMU & Tuskegee 

New school educators - Dhati and Thabiti 

Focused like Moses but I'm feeling ill-equipped 

I'm praying for a rod and the Red Sea to split 

A crew to hold me up and a pharaoh to beef wit' 

Just point me to the promise, I'm exiting Egypt 

Photos 

Hold up, I know you don't want no problems now 

Break it down, there's no way you can keep us out 

Excellence, you know we about our excellence 

Oh lord, oh lord run it back again 

Excellence 

Hat on top 'cause we think excellent 

Frames on straight 'cause I see excellent 

Dressed for success 'cause I be excellent 

Everything we do, everything we do 

Excellent 

We problem solvers they are problem starters 

Excellent 

We lay down our life, come visit the martyrs 

I'd rather better judgement than a bigger budget 

I guess massive money make you jokers coon in public 

Annie Malone and Bethune, we excellent educators 

Serena with nothing but love, we still serve the haters 

Feeling old, gimme soul, rap Leon Bridges 

When I commit to drop these hits, y'all gon' need some stitches 

Excellent 

Fight for justice from creation to the tomb 

I know Black lives matter, and they should matter in the womb 

I don't do a lot of talking 

Most of you who claim you woke are really sleep walking 

Praying for the strength so I can fight for the people 

Only thing I'm afraid of is God and my ego 

Following false heroes, giving my vote to Nero 

If they Marshall Law I'm playing Danny DeVito 

Hold up, I know you don't want no problems now (problems now) 

Break it down, there's no way you can keep us out (keep us out) 

Excellence, you know we about our excellence 

Oh lord, oh lord 

Excellent 

Hat on top 'cause we think excellent 

Frames on straight 'cause I see excellent 

Dressed for success 'cause I be excellent 

Everything we do, everything we do 

Excellent it's when information turns into wisdom 

Excellent like the peace that came with Mandela out the prison 

Excellent it's knowing I'm not defined by the wealth and stuff 

Get the rich, line 'em up, they'll tell you money is not enough 

Forgive us Lord 'cause we want love without truth 

The world is spiritually poor 'cause we want heaven without you 

It's malpractice, we want healing without patience 

We don't want a heart transplant, we want facelifts 

I was poetic so they forgave my poor ethics 

A misogynistic skeptic with methods of good aesthetics 

I was so dirty, unworthy and insufficient 

I don't worry, he loves me when when I'm inconsistent 

Commitment greater than talent, service over status 

Passion over tactics, I don't drive your bandwagon 

I keep grinding until they name a climate after me 

Until it's common knowledge you jokers shouldn't be rhyming after me 

I'm wired to be inspired by the lovers and the haters 

I take it to different levels like I'm rapping on elevators 

If you reaching for the top you better learn to survive 

You can either fall or fly when you reaching for the sky 

Fly excellent 

Or fall excellent 

But never quit 

Never quit
