Lyrics
Lads
Started off walking down, joggin and runnin.
Down in the dirt I turned nothing to something.
Try stepping to me, better know how I’m coming.
Flying in the car with the V8 hummin.
Bout to explode, missile incoming
Must be a star from the tracks I keep jumping.
Stacks and racks and packs, I keep dumping.
Now I’m trying to make it out, trying to write these tracks.
Yeah, we the All Blacks, we ain’t your average boys, trying to put things on the maps.
Come around here, guarantee ya, you’re going to get slapped, cuzzy oil cap, tippety tap.
Listen now, cuz your going to get slapped, where out here trying to trap not just rap.
We have too much aggression, cuz have a fist up, bang those tips and put down that
weapon, take that aggression and put it out in this session.
CHORUS
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We get it runnin
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We got something
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We get it runnin
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We got something
Start from the bottom when I come down
Chuck Taylors on feet, new unit from the mile, when nobody peaks.
Chucks high when I ride so gently looking so fly, by stacked.
Then I just roll up, just to get exposure, like I pull up in my rover
So I don’t fluff over ya, coz I wanna show ya, coz I wanna know ya.
Coming in hot with my brother Kels, spitting bars like Central C.
See me in the sea on a yacht with my G’s
Never thought I’d be here, I like who I am today
Writing these bars, I’m feeling fine, might fly to Mars ta ta
But in reality, we just driving those cars, and after I finish my verse
The boys gonna see me huffin, huffin and puffin
Sitting in this booth, bout to run up on op boy and pull out his tooth ha ha.
CHORUS
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We get it runnin
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We got something
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We get it runnin
5 Lil, 5 lil 5 lil youngins
We got something
In the beginning it was us lil youngins
We roll hard and we get ‘em running
Step for step, hand for hand
Neck for neck, now we stand
Making music trying to kill our violence
In the studio Spitting bars no silence
Yeah, we do it there’s no competition
Now that’s a transition, my boys on a mission
If you run of me, I’m a teach you a lesson
Teach you a lesson.
Get involved!
