And you don't stop

And you don't stop

And you don't stop

I'm with the sure shot

It's the sure shot

And you don't stop

And you don't stop

I'm with the sure shot

Wake up with a voice in my head

To get cooked and fed, tell my feet to get up out of bed

On the beat of a new day

Molasses in the water, but the gas is in the tall

(The sure shot)

Give me the fuel, I'm a hawk ready to get the worm

From out the New York City apples I earned

Rotten to the core, you could never ignore

Frontin' the shot that you get, hearing fly fresh spit

But the lists got me like top five on the radio

Is that good enough, where I'm slated?

But the voice talk to the battery in my chest

(And you don't stop)

So I keep moving at my best

Cindy said, "If y'all stop, then Dave stops"

And that wouldn't be the sure shot (Sure shot)

So we keep implementing that gift

The D. A. I. S. Y. age lived, Cracker Jack box, scratch, sniff

Graveyard shift, studio cooks

Up from out of the dens of the crooks

Who converted to a better way

And have they own inner voice ready for when the day

Come out dry, we more than meets the eye 'cause

In the belly of the East, we were born

Shot him in the light when the get-right's drawn

Fundamental pawns

We're not, we're on the chessboard playin'

And the appetite always weighs in

Rays in the sky

Shuffled in the heat after gray clouds have a good cry

Caught 'em off guard with the seeds that we drop

When we talkin' that shit, they (Rockin', don't stop)

So we kept on going

All the while knowing it could start an evolution

Of people minds growin'

A life been what we pledged, but

Some young ones don't think we got that edge

Sayin', "OG, we don't hear you"

(Man, we ain't tryna hear all that)

Tellin' us you a pioneer means

You have American pie nowhere near you

You broke (Broke-ass nigga)

Mase threw 'em in the yolk

And pulls out machine guns and lasers

Just kiddin', but he did have a razor

Cuttin' eardrums while fingering the fader

Sooner than later, they saw

These Long Island boys stood the test

That the time serves raw

And yeah, you don't stop (Yeah, you don't stop)

And we don't stop (Yeah, you don't stop)

De La, we don't stop (Yeah, you don't stop)

'Cause we're the sure shot

Sure shot indeed

Hey, Hope, tell them what this still is

This is still Spitkicker

And what do we put in our music?

Art Official Intelligence, or simply, AOI

No doubt, and we are still making art

That will forever remain official

And filled with intelligence

And remember

When It's Pos and Maseo you see

The magic will always remain three

Because that magic is simply De La

And staying true to that magic hasn't always been easy

Even Dave said

Often the real true soldiers just don't get that shine

Like they should

But tell yourself, "I'm staying true to myself"

And keep feeling the energy and the vibe

So you keep giving off the right vibrations

Yeah, 'cause there's high stakes

Being played around the world

And it's understandable to be rooted in the present

Not certain of what will happen in the near future

But you know what?

Just be ready to get that feeling back

The memories of the good times

And don't run away from the bad ones either

'Cause it's all a part of life

Indeed

Relating as we balance on the waters of the world

Navigating days that are sunny and calm, as well as stormy

Basically, you gotta learn to balance during sunny storms

Wait a minute, wait a minute

It sounds dope, but it's in the wrong key

It should sound like this
