42 Lyrics by Quartz QZ

Black Excellence

2016

[Intro]
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
[Verse 1]
Yeah, you’ve got some sadness
Trapped behind that madness, but
In a world full of clones
You stay beyond average, and
Glancin' from the mirror
I don’t see a "bad chick"
I see another champion
Without a need for plastic
Call to action
Raise yo' glasses
Put 'em up high
If you ain’t here for the masses
[Background vocals] Put, put, put, put
Keep 'em up high
Let ‘em fear for they asses
Put us all together
Let ‘em see what happens
Let’s see what happens
[Background vocals] Put, put, put, put
Let’s see what happens
My strength more than they’d imagine
Let’s see what happens
Your pride, don’t you let them grab it
[Chorus]
Bat out all those haters
Like you wearing # 42
Look at ya'self
Ask who are you?
You know your time’s overdue
Bat out all those haters
Like I'm wearing # 42
I'm gonna get that crown
Shut them down
When I own the truth
[Background vocals]
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
Bat out all those haters
Like we wearing # 42
Bat out all those haters
Like we wearing # 42
Who are you?
Own ya truth
[Verse 2]
Kickin' dust
In the faces of the fake ones
I’ve had enough
Tryna make it
Like we make sum’n
You see, we ain’t nothin'
Some just ride the coat tails
Cuz when I tried and failed
They were on their “oh wells”
I used to think
That I was never gonna be good enough
Sometimes I even thought
I didn’t have the "tough stuff"
Now I’m callin' my bluff
New me’d make old me blush
Ain't no describin' the rush
When you know your soul
Can’t be crushed
Bat out all those haters
Like I’m Robinson
I’m knockin’ 'em
Bop, bop, bop
They droppin’, son
One by one
They time is done
I choose my mic
Over the gun
My words live
With the rise of the sun
Never can they ever
Try and take that from me
I been doin' better since I let that run me
You ain’t down? Don’t need your company
Movin' on up
Lemme pop the bubbly
Celebrate me gettin' thru the ugly
Celebrate you if you made you something
Do a slow walk
Through this home run
Winnin’ all these inning’s
Only thing I’m thinkin’ of
[Chorus]
Bat out all those haters
Like you wearing # 42
Look at ya'self
Ask who are you?
You know your time’s overdue
Bat out all those haters
Like I'm wearing # 42
I'm gonna get that crown
Shut them down
When I own the truth
[Background vocals]
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
I'm swa, swa
Swingin' on 'em
I'm swingin' on 'em
Bat out all those haters
Like we wearing # 42
Bat out all those haters
Like we wearing # 42
Who are you?
Own ya truth
[Outro]
I know there's sadness
Trapped behind that madness, but
In a world full of clones
You stay beyond average, and
I see your magic
Trapped behind that madness
In a world full of foes
We can find advantage
