Locations: Arcadia University & Philadelphia Museum of Art LYRICS HOOK (2x) I'm getting degrees But I'm almost done I'm about to be free And I got a queen And got a good team Ain't no f*ckin wit' we I come on the scene And you and your people like: "Who the f*ck he?" E-double L-E-C-T, I be So get to know me VERSE 1 My people know this is my passion They know I be killin this rap sh*t But yet I'm the last one the industry pickin I'll kickin the door and I'll cash in Born the same day as MJ, Jim Brown, and Huey P. I stand on the shoulders of giants, I'm droppin' that science with peace, love, and unity I live with immunity, help the community I got the key to the city I made it my home and the world is my zone And I'm always gon' stay reppin' Philly I'm making my way to a milli And no I do not need a billi Give that to the hood and make it understood That the world don't gotta be so chilly Ya feel me? HOOK (2x) I'm getting degrees But I'm almost done I'm about to be free And I got a queen And got a good team Ain't no f*ckin wit' we I come on the scene And you and your people like: "Who the f*ck he?" E-double L-E-C-T, I be So get to know me VERSE 2 I started this shit to fulfill my desire I been thru the hatred, I been thru the fire I been thru the storm and I'm finally free I know that the world was waitin on me But I got older, got wise This one guy got nine lives I'm too alive, it's do or die Evolve so much, you're like: Who am I? Flat to Fact was a phenomenon But I left you hungry like Ramadan I'm telling my story and don't need the glory I'm here for the culture you don't need to worry I'm off work, getting back to rap And don't have to trap for a platinum plaque Let's get familiar and let it fulfill ya Til we be familia HOOK (2x) I'm getting degrees But I'm almost done I'm about to be free And I got a queen And got a good team Ain't no f*ckin wit' we I come on the scene And you and your people like: "Who the f*ck he?"
