48 Bars Lyrics by Psalm One

Get In The Van 3

2011

I never been one for storming in them poker rooms
Tell you the truth
I'm still fucking with them focus groups
I spent a birthday afternoon at one, you think it's funny
Checking my traps, getting my scratch I used it for bar money
Was crying on the BART in San Francisco once
Had to do it in public cause all of my friends were dunce
Capping my feelings, popping them beans showing that I could stand it
Running from what, strong as a fuck I know that man planned it
Got signed and I just hopped a van before I knew it
I'd do it again in a heartbeat, cause I was called to do this
Blessed to be around a team letting me figure my angles
Y'all killing ya'll selves for a label to label, you
While I'm signing for another package
Another rapper called and I don't wanna help him manage
That sucks cause it's a Boss lady civic duty but
I'm filming documentaries they shooting kid's movies
I really do love y'all, I'm just busy
I just haven't been through, enough cities
You may think that me and you travel same
But I'm working on my wings while you Tweeting on the plane
You a lame and I'm lamer cause I don't go to Lumen
But I just illuminated five hundred students
More like a thousand when I'm counting those logged in
You got a shelf life and to a shelf that's a problem
Popular, no but I won't stop popping up
Growing so much they re-calculate my commas what
Don’t tear you down build you up so I'm building that
Turning blind ears to your party party trendy rap
Bend it back break it down tear me off a piece of that
Featuring the fearless, intelligent chic black
Bumping Cap looking at cap and gown
Touching rap, you got a deal but what happens now
Selling several thousand ain't the outlet that it once was
So you kidding, I keep coming with that funk, cuz
Boosting my numbers putting folks up on Psalm shit
They radar doing that
I don't care to be on it
Calling my mama and venting, I'm simply addicted to being a factor
After the rain and the sun and the rain
I'm beginning to see just what that does
Betting it all on the fact that I'm Psalm
And I know that I'm needed in rap cause
The people are sleepy and bored with your horrible lies and your terrible act, what
Cristalle take the prism and the colors keep the light around
Blues and reds and greens and I'm just talking bout the high I'm on
Kept in isolation but I'm fighting through and shining strong
Show you how to live a life and do it through this microphone
Kids be getting made just to listen how I do
So if you think that ain't the truth, you just ain't in the loop
Picking up philanthropy to help repair the damage
While you getting money, nigga’s still spamming
