[Intro]
It be the... (yo)
It be the re-fu...
Refugeeeee

[Verse 1]
I just turned down a Univision promo, hell no
I live in slo-mo, sometimes I gotta lower the people's elbow
Only promise was my name on a fat check
And travel to a beach where I could catch rays rather than catch rec
Earn a type of rep prep, told me of aspects
Always teach babies in bassinets
[?] be travel mad less
Winding through forests and past tents
Mountains 'til they talk about me in the past tense
My blood be the A+
I didn't know what Staten Island was 'til Wu-Tang and King Just
While I was playin' Duck Hunt, brothers were sitting ducks
So if I'm still breathing and I'm just dinged up
I got strong in the process
Sinnin' with the saints, kicking game with the prophets
Decided at the gate, keep name outta gossip
I found that keeping faith proved fruitful, muchas gracias

[Hook]
(Yeah) It be the refugeeeee
Refugeeeee
It be the refugeeeee
