about

Uh, uh-huh, let's get it
Just Jill, Cambridge 02139, let's go

I guess this is the life for us
No one's gonna ride or die like us
Getting on the mic, that's us
Ain't nobody quite like us
Guess this is the life for us
No one's gonna ride or die like us
Getting on the mic, that's us
Ain't nobody quite like us
This the life for us

Here’s the life for us, it’s unstoppable
We’re jumping over hurdles and dodging obstacles
They said it couldn’t be done, we made it possible
And now we eat so good even our pockets full
And so I’ll never knock a hustle
These kids have the fame but don't know about the struggle
And that's how you learn the meaning of the word humble
When you grow up surviving in this concrete jungle
Rap nowadays, a trap beat and some mumbles
I wanna hear real street in their voice, nothing subtle
My hits the lines punchable
With Skitz they’re untouchable
Your favorite nineties kid on the mic
Now that's wonderful
Pay attention, never take things for granted
It’s only one life that we’re handed
Jill's got skills but I can't take all the credit
Checkmark on the track 'bout to teach y'all a lesson

I guess this is the life for us
No one's gonna ride or die like us
Getting on the mic, that's us
Ain't nobody quite like us
Guess this is the life for us
No one's gonna ride or die like us
Getting on the mic, that's us
Ain't nobody quite like us
This the life for us

From standing on the corners of Mass Ave and Douglass Street
Your brother beat the odds through
Backstabbings and other beefs
Caught a couple charges
Cats ratted and called police
It's me, you, and Gas against the world
We our mother's fleet
Of beast, sheesh
She's probably watching this
Talking with Bones about how proud she is of all the kids
Little sister of the Skitz, I'll be with you hit or miss
Put us on the list to spit and it's official as it gets
Shook the dice, book of life
This is just a page of it
Cambridge kid, flavors contagious
No one can hate on this
Plagiarists are not allowed
Save the make-up for the clowns
On stage, I'm so fly
It's like I'm rhyming on a cloud
If got to ask around you don't know Check then
Fall back, it's all cap like old folks texting
Best in the game, nothing changed but you lames
Just Jill got skills plus the same last name as me

I guess this is the life for us
No one's gonna ride or die like us
Getting on the mic, that's us
Ain't nobody quite like us
Guess this is the life for us
No one's gonna ride or die like us
Getting on the mic, that's us
Ain't nobody quite like us
This the life for us

Uh-huh
Just Jill, Checkmark
Skitzofreniks Forever, Cambridge 02139
Uh-huh
