ElliS - Behind the Scenes (feat. Stan Green)

[Intro]
Uh
"E", double-"L", "I", dollar sign
The world's yours and mine [x2]
"E", double "L", "I", dollar sign
The world's yours and mine
Yo

[Verse 1: Ellis]
What you know about UFO's, greys, and reptilians
So is your mind confined to your project building
I'm plotting on millions, the politicin' with Sicilians about billions
That be more boy brilliant
They say "Brother Blu Raye, stay focused"
Surrounded by fake niggas, bluffin’ bitches, and chain-smokers
I remember feeling hopeless, me and Legin rollin' roses
Now the CIA follow a nigga on Twitter
Sending me DM's, like "Nigga, we gon' kill ya"
Your illest rhymes are some shit I wouldn't remember
I done said shit so cold it make Jack Frost shiver
Drivin' heat in the winter, mentality of a winner
Brother, we ain't the same, son, our DNA's different. You see police
I see the beast with the Hood between his teeth
Love my nephews and my niece, wish 'em nothin' but peace
School 'em to the hate this country keeps for 'em, then
Teach them how to squeeze on 'em, and breeze on 'em
They convicted my man his co-D's cop please on 'em
Stan Green, do your thing

[Hook: Stan Green]
I can't believe it sometimes
The way I see it, my mind is on repeat on the grind
I never slow up
Through the bleakest of times
I keep my feet on the line
Cause people creepin' on mine
You never know what--
Could be behind the scenes
Niggas be lyin' and schemin'
And they eye my green
I keep the toaster
It's not about what's legal, but
About my people
If you doubt the eagle
Hey

[Verse 2: Ellis]
After 25 years, ‘seemed that I arrived here
All these trials and tribulations turned me ‘to a wild kid
I never thought I’d amount to the man you see today
Attracting women with charm, who might I meet today?
I tried to enjoy every advantage handed to me
But my fear of success inflicts much damage to me
A veteran with this music
You could can it, rookie
Perfection is how I do it; it’s uncanny, truly
Just imagine how many people didn’t believe
Niggas I thought I was cool with think I’ll never succeed
I sit in the back of they brain, ‘cause they smile at my face
And only call me if it benefits them in a way
I should’ve listened when Kenny told me: distance myself
And make a decision to envision equivalent wealth
And by far, this is the realest shit I ever wrote
When it’s from the hardest, it’s not hard to think of better quotes
It’s fluid as rivers, I know I see brighter days
Drunk drivin’, try not to crash like the tidal wave
But if I slow down at the stop-sign and give other niggas a chance, will I maintain the right-of-way?
I would hope so, ‘cause most of them disposable
Only rapping about guns, hoes, and clothes; know the truth:
Another one to keep your ears open
Evil genius, beard strokin’
Yeah

[Hook: Stan Green]
I can't believe it sometimes

Could be behind the scenes
Niggas be lyin' and schemin'
And they eye my green
I keep the toaster
It's not about what's legal, but
About my people
If you doubt the eagle

[Verse 3: Ellis]
Did Obama go to Haiti, did he speak on Oscar Grant?
You know, the boy out in Oakland; the pigs shot him in his back
He was handcuffed at that, on his stomach face-flat
You don’t believe me? Go to Youtube to see this shit is fact
Truth is truth, what I am to the booth
Is like Black Thought to The Roots: the heart and soul
Feelin’ like Joe Scott, my life is golden
My weed is a hybrid—two strands interwoven
It’ll leave you frozen; me? It just get me open
Niagara Falls flowin’; it’s been like that since the start
Know I asked your boy to spit so he could sail off in that ark
The education of Ellis, the life and times of your dude
Pro’ly hard as a blind man solvin’ a Rubik’s cube
Billy D. smooth, just don’t get it confused
Just don’t get it confused
Stan Green, do your thing
