about

With an intro from the Movie, "The Pursuit of Happiness" based on Will Smiths powerfully memorable statement to his son in the film, "You want something go get it", this song was bound to be a record of pure empowerment.
Inspiration is such an important part of what we do as creatives,
Behold an entire song written from the inspiration of a simple statement shared with me by Frank Nitti, who's words of potency and assurance said "Adjust your Crown King". It's truly remarkable how an entire song can begin with an inspiration such as this, a statement made at the perfect time, in the perfect manner. It was truly my Honor to share this track with the likes of my twin brother, and the king himself Frank Nitti.

lyrics

Stomping Grounds

You got a dream
You gotta protect it

People can’t do something themselves
They wanna tell you
You can’t do it
You want something
Go get it
Period



I adjust my crown
In my stomping grounds
The squad holding
Me down
In the stomping grounds
I go round for round
In the stomping grounds
They got us started
And they begging us to stop it now
They got us started
And they begging us to stop it now
We tired of talking
So it’s prolly best you walk it out
The only convo
Is the the love we showing word of mouth
Don’t need the promo
When you solid in the
Stomping ground

I’m growing not seeing no limit
(No limit)
I want it
I gotta go get it
(Go get it)
I want it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it
(Go get it)

I’m growing not seeing no limit
(No limit)
I want it
I gotta go get it
(Go get it)
I want it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go gotta go


In love with my spot
But now it’s time to leave
I’m gone disappear
Like the trick up my sleeve
Liberation is
What I must achieve
I’ma do for the Lord
Then I’m doin’ for me
Feel like the music
Is setting me free
It’s what I’m called to do
I guess we gotta see
Born of the tree
Come and water the seed
Of my soul
And my spirit
Unlocking the key

Can’t plug in
To a limiter
That’s the beginning
Of running into a finisher
I’m on the go
And you never gone see me giving up
Only beginning
So stick around til I finish up
So what's up
Run it up
Lemme fill another cup
With the love
With the trust
What it is
What is was
I’m coming out of a rut
I won’t say much
I’m always counting on God
Because he too clutch

I adjust my crown
In my stomping grounds
The squad holding
Me down
In the stomping grounds
I go round for round
In the stomping grounds
They got us started
And they begging us to stop it now
They got us started
And they begging us to stop it now
We tired of talking
So it’s prolly best you walk it out
The only convo
Is the the love we showing word of mouth
Don’t need the promo
When you solid in the
Stomping ground

I’m growing not seeing no limit
(No limit)
I want it
I gotta go get it
(Go get it)
I want it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it
I gotta go gotta go

Soon as you play me the song I was listening
Told me to speak to the people with influence
Came from the hood
Elevators had piss in it
Stomping these grounds til they burry me deep in it
March on the beat like I’m militant stand at attention
And show me the discipline
You want obedience after the greediness
Taking advantage
I’m taking offense to it

Ain’t nobody beatin’ us
Cheatin’ us
Or defeating us
Twins takin’ over
Imagine if there was three of us
Leave em’ in the dust come back later to sweep it up
Eatin’ up
Only the realest could ever seat with us
Breaking my back
For checks all day been diggin’ for the scraps
But I’m always paid
I don’t slay
But I always pray
Start fallin’ off but I always say

I adjust my crown
In my stomping grounds
The squad holding
Me down
In the stomping grounds
I go round for round
In the stomping grounds
They got us started
And they begging us to stop it now
They got us started
And they begging us to stop it now
We tired of talking
So it’s prolly best you walk it out
The only convo
Is the the love we showing word of mouth
Don’t need the promo
When you solid in the
Stomping ground

(Chill)
Ain’t no other me’s
So to me ain’t no other competition
16 firearms loading
Composition
Rap sheet
Every page is a victim
(What you mean)
Stomping Grounds
Kirk Franklin
(Go)
Benjamins
Franklin
(Go)
Dead Presidents
Make statements
(Oh)
Mask on we gone take it
B and E’s no Q and A’s
No DNA no substance
Beat the case
Won’t see your face
Won’t be a trace no nothing
PSA Especially if you from outta town
Be on you P’s and Q’s
Theres a battlefield on this
Stomping Grounds
