(Intro)

Attention, H-Town rappers!

There's a gold rush special in the mic department!

Get your asses up, and go get some!

(Verse 1)

You know it's on by the echo of exploding bombs

Everything you thought was going on is going, going, gone

It's a new era now, let's try to make it last

Wash the grime away and finally annihilate the past

Take a look around, don't we look alive and with a purpose

After spending too much time in deadly silence on the circuit

Now our quiet little perfect world is rising to thе surface

Underground full of diamonds, come and minе it till it's worthless

I'm dipping, diving, ducking and deking to get a decent take

Getting a piece of the pie nowadays won't be a piece of cake

Never mind where we keep the faith, it's hidden inside a secret place

But legacies can never be defaced over these beats and breaks

Too many times before, treated as stepchildren

That's why you'll find us with both feet on your neck, chilling

Making ourselves at home until it's time to make the next million

Created a culture from this contraption we were left building

(Chorus - x2)

Where did everybody go in a rush

Now they all crawl back cause they know what's up

It's a gold rush in these streets, let's get it

Saddle up, head for the hills, you know the drill

(Verse 2)

You see the evidence of residential resonance

Eliminating irrelevance with every available element

Check every crevice and every corridor, you'll find another MC

On the way to pawn some tapes in front of the corner store

Look to the left and you will see a fresh cypher brewing

The missing piece for release after many nights in ruin

And on your right, peep the sound cave under contruction

We're ready to tear the roof off, but that's another discussion

It wasn't long ago we had nowhere to go for the gold

Made a last-ditch effort, call it one more for the road

Took it to them iceheads, when they were trying to find their feet

Downtown came uptown vibing to a 90s beat

So don't be alarmed if you feel the earth begin to move

We waited many moons for the conclusion of this interlude

Win or lose, this show is going on indefinitely

As we set the city on fire until it's extra crispy

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

There's something in the air once again, you got to love it

But everyone else is out for 'em too, so watch your nuggets

So if you're trying to make a living off of that

Got to get it off the bat, never slipping off the tracks

In my semi-pro opinion, if you ask me, the funniest part is

Seeing 'em try to straddle the thin line in the middle of money and art

Forget what you heard, it ain't about who's the hardest

It's about being the first to duck when you're a moving target

(Chorus)
