lyrics

[Verse 1]

A beautiful mind
One of a kind being
King Ash, baby boy of the All eye seeing
And all I’m seeing
Is a future so bright
You gon' ask Teddy Pendergrass to turn off the light
I am the general
Soldiers know my position
Quiet leadership style, when I speak it’s non-fiction
Listen more than I talk
& tell less than I know
Cuz game is to be sold not told
That’s how I go
Its called Guerilla Arts for the tactic
Not the animal
"by any means necessary'
Written on the manual
Rough you off and and ride on through just like Hannibal
And elephant stomp the shit outta you
And ya mans if you
Take it for a joke/get yolked
Egg on your face
Niggas going for broke with each quote
No second place
For anybody still asking if Ash can spit
Hit ‘em with the Clay Davis like sheeeeeeeeiiiiittttt

[Hook:]

What you talking bout?
Man, Get on Your Head!
You should never ever doubt
One Man, $100 and a One track mind...
Man, Get on Your Head!
For anybody still asking if Ash can spit
Hit ‘em with the Clay Davis like sheeeeeeeeiiiiittttt

[Verse 2]

You know its funky funky funky cuz you heard it from hear say
A jam that you love that don’t be getting no airplay
As for my competition they ain’t playing the fair way
Thinking they’ll catch me slipping, shit that’s on a rare day
This is that boom bap for getting bent in the stairway
To play where the real lions in the lair lay
$200 from the door guess it wasn’t their day
Too many in your crew and yall gotta share pay
Ash vision is bigger
No frame for this picture
I use my signature to stamp me as the victor
The champ, the head nigga in charge
MC at large
My constituents got all this love
Like a Debarge
Now that must be good for something
You saying nothing
Like the good book say
There ain't no future in your frontin
Word to MC Breed
Do Ash give you what you need?
Hit em with the Clay Davis like sheeeeeeeeeiit

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

If there’s one thing you should know bout me
I exercise my unlimited potential
So when I run them streets & shout BMIG
I don’t only mean over these instrumentals
You talking to an entrepreneur on 1 million
"New Ventures" is my middle name
I bring Hip Hop to the schools, the juvie or public housing
To give them youngins a little game
Cuz out here, them people playing chess not checkers
Be careful how you move around the board
Have you thinking you a King when you only just a pawn
Go to battle and die by the sword
My OG sat me down and gave me a jewel
To this day I never will forget
He said for every 1 winner
There has to be 10 losers
Which one are you? Me?
I said sheeeeeiiiiitttt

[Hook x2]

Man, Get on Your Head!
"He said for every 1 winner
There has to be 10 losers
Which one are you?"
"Me?
"I said sheeeeeiiiiitttt"
