Takes men to build, modus operandi, architecture
Thoughts of penthouses encouraged us as we sought perfection
Graciously bestowed with the gumption and chutzpah
To navigate the chatter and eliminate that hoopla
You're pigeonholed, guarantee expansion leaves you dumbfounded
Bigger moves trigger confusion, sundowning
Vultures look for languor, my intimation is liberate
Mitigate the violence or virus that crimes demonstrate
Precedent is making connections, each bar innervates
Migrate to mogul then purchasing prime real estate
Introvert, but wholehearted wingman, I got you
Allocating equity like Japanese Zaibatsu
Task is renovation while quashing all the dilapidation
Constructing legacies, betterment of a generation
Businessman, pokerfaced, intend to stay suave
Unrivaled you can't reproduce this je ne sais quoi

Starved for resources, hungry for acknowledgment
They expunging resumes unless you've done that college bid
Penning books and signing off on em like a novelist
Sprouted from the grassroots to enterprise conglomerates

Want skyscrapers so tall, you can see them from a satellite
It's about boostin' up our self-esteem, not bragging rights
Politicians and officials turned they backs, no bags in sight
Seen it with my own eyes, no grapevines or Gladys Knight
Slavery, Christ, civil strife, as part of education
Gentrified spaces from the property we desecrated
Redlining, racial covenants, it's all a strategy
Soften up the targets, no more martyrs for the Maccabees
Bonds in our communities assumed to be so atrophied
That factually subjugation's birthright, not casualty
Most of us so downtrodden washed your hands, you'd gladly leave
Indentured servitude through urban schools, it's sad to see
Commodified prisons, they envisioned they'd have dads for lease
If bestial by nature, why'd you stack the deck for savagery?
It just really makes you wonder
Perhaps there's a secret and they need to keep it from us
