Verse 1:
Worldwide, Steez got the game locked down (Lock)
Local, international, I rock crowds (Yeah)
No gun but this is my shot now (My time)
Still, my voice like the Glock sound
Bangers tear up your block like hot rounds
Leave the mic smoking, I got loud (Yeah)
Probably eat your food as if it's pak chow (Nyam everyting)
You can't fight with me, you get boxed out
Hip Hop style, Steez a heavyweight (Heavyweight)
The example you should follow, let me demonstrate (Watch me)
You try to be fly but I levitate
Elevate to the sky as high as heaven's gates (Uh)
Every new release, the fans celebrate (Yeah)
I think back to seventeen, we was selling tapes
I setup shop, me, I never wait (Never)
that's why I'm a general and a head of state (Salute me)
Hook (Repeat):
Call me Commander in Chief (Salute)
Here to strangle the beast (Wit my troops)
Take a stance for the least (Lace your boots)
HeatRockz just bang in the streets (It's the truth)
Verse 2:
Over five years, I boost sales of Dragon Stout
RIP 'Babi', long live Gambling House (Gamblino)
That's where all the real MCs was hanging out
And we made history if you ever had a doubt (GH)
Pay Attention had a three-year run (Yeah)
A crew better than Council, tell me if you hear one (Please do)
Are these guys trappers or they rappers?
All I know is they happen to be wacker (They garbage)
Youtube views, that's not the culture (Uh uh)
Dreams get punctured, burnt with sulphur
Thought you had a reign? I came to bring thunder
Aim at weak MCs like beauty queens and world hunger (Whoo)
Going against the grain like a rebel leader (Yeah)
Slide through your area like a debit visa
And get love from all the senoritas (All of dem)
I'm gonna score like a record keeper (Yeah)
Hook (x4)

Verse 1:
Let's get it again, they thought the record would end (Uh uh)
This is Part 2, the plan never fall through (Nah)
Back with another edition, get your subscription (Get it)
Another project everybody must listen (Listen up)
They know me from the First to the Gold Coast (Worldwide)
Turn your mic off, I don't need a co-host (Uh uh)
So dope, you still choke off the low dose
Since the days with Simo and the bro Sos (BP)
I can show my power like you owe Ghost
All about my bread, I need the whole toast
Or I might get Rawkus like I know Mos
You running when I'm coming through the doorpost (Run)
Defender of the craft, guardian of the art
you better kneel and beg my pardon from the start (Uh)
Yu waa test? Then sharpen up your darts
I pull a sword that's carving up your parts (Yeah)
I might be the sickest 'cause I'm effortless
Even I can't tell you what my method is
Manifested evidence to show you that I'm blessed with this
Maybe from some compulsive obsessiveness
Rhymes on my mind, sometimes, they write themself
They always tighter than a miser tie his belt
Just my look my alone would make iron melt
I'm trying to book my tour for the highest wealth
And still rock Levis, no YSL
Puma kicks and the Hanes Tee white as hell (Fresh)
Take rappers to school, they saved by the bell
from that time, my music had clientele (Way back)
My name etched in stone in my city
Kingston, come and roam where it's gritty (Yeah)
It's like the place poor but it pretty (Uh huh)
Ashanti to Yoruba, the whole of it in wi (Yeah)
And I carry on the legacy
With the memory of the nineties and the seventies
This is boom bap, don't call it old school
It's the true original before Pro Tools
The form from the samples and tape machines
Turntables and the mixer that made the scene
I kept it pure, they couldn't fade my dream
They say me and Mordecai an amazing team
Eric B and Rakim, Gang Starr
At the show, in the air is where the hands are (Hands up)
Wit me, only the best can par
I'm not the standard, I'm the vanguard (Yeah)
Remember the name if you never knew (Yu never know)
Only 5 sum'n, you'd think I'm seven two (Seven two)
And you know I'm official from how I rep my crew
Follow the leader and watch me set the rules (Set the rules)

Hook (Repeat):
Step up in the building like a takeover
My stakeholders push the Range Rovers
My dawgs move like army base soldiers
Plans to rock the nation like Jay Hova
Verse 1:
I never had a record deal (Uh uh)
But you heard my name and know my set is real
Women love the sex appeal
Music for your ears and you can get to feel (Uh huh)
Respected by people in the mainstream
But me and dem don't have the same dream
I'm in the culture and the history books
Now it's time to get my account like Diddy's look
It's never corny if I'm singing hooks
This is chess, kill your rook, your bishop took (Uh)
Step up on the beat as if I did it wid my foot (Uh)
Rappers wanna eat but they didn't cook (Uh uh)
I've had a nice run so far (Yeah)
Many classics, I can't remember those bars
Other rappers is biters, they use their molars
You can call me the Gomar Oz Dubar
Hook (Repeat)

I don't need to go live 'cause I been live (Been live)

I talk straight, nut'n I need to imply (Yu hear me)
Nobody want a face off (Uh uh)
Me neither, I'm trying to raise my base cost (Yeah)
Make all the money that they lost
They can't catch up, tomato paste sauce
My competition not regional
So tell these local artists I'm not tweeting you (Ah nuh you mi a talk)
It's a small scene so hear wha we fi do
Mind your business and stop chat people too (Yu hear dat)
I've been the subject of alotta talk
They used to hear Hip Hop and want to lock it off (Not any more)
Not my fault their music gotten soft
And after all these years, they not a boss
Hook (Repeat)
Verse 3:
I might've wrote my first rhyme in the sixth grade (Yeah)
Back then, I knew I had this gift made
Now, all I do is spit flames
And all I want is all my friends get paid (Let's get it)
From the inner circle to the network
We waa everybody move, nobody get hurt
Council the crew, that's what I rep first
We been dope, so the Feds search (Yes)
They call it dat piff, they call it dat crack
Make a lot of dudes feel like they raps wack
And they really are

They know about my character, out in Africa (Uh huh)
Treat the vernacular like a spatula (Uh huh)
Sen on di money if yu waa mi rap for ya (Yes)
No free shows, I'm hot like the station with Ebro
Since 97, I was deep, yo
Listening to Hip Hop through my people
Now, I'm in the game and I'm winning like a cheat code (Winning)
knocking out tracks back to back, that's beast mode
Rap like I clap the gat and reload (Uh)
These cats act like they wack plus they're B Roll
Dem versus me, that's like Tito 'gainst Deebo (Yeah)
Come through like El Nino, wash away your ego
Peace to everybody in Sao Paulo and Rio (One love)
CT, NY and TO
Tired of Kingston, I might hide out in Montego (Okay)
wilding in the island or I'm chilling like a villain
whatever mode, I'm still killing every riddim (Everyone)
I want to see cash to the ceiling of the building
even when you broke, you should be feeling like a million (Yes)
