Intro:
New words, new story...still the story of us, though.
Aye! Raz...Mich, start it off for 'em...
(Chorus)
It quite simple
We fear no competition
We are the authors of Ambition
It’s our mission
Not afraid to be different
We are the authors of Ambition
Tell 'em that the motto ain't changed, you get it how's it written/
Still we down to make change, and get it how it's given/
Oh, you want the main stage? I'll give it when I'm finished/
Don't you ever be afraid to be different/ AOA!
(Verse 1: Raz)
Sketches on the edges of the script/
Believe the scenes connecting through the wrist/
With every flick etching all my paths on the pad/
Either or, come aboard and see me dash on the ave/
It's my specialty, creating so any can see it/
You would've thought that you just crossed into Terabithia/
Every week, bringing life into the visions that I speak/
This the legend built from Leslie if she made it out that creek/
Picture everything, moving with my mind wide open/
Slick enough to slither up and have the blinds slide open/
So the moment is my motion, I'm controlling what you see/
Ain't gotta kick the door when you the one that made the key/
Made my posse out of prophets down to maintain/
The testaments that kept us focus on the same thang/
All one piece, like we rolled with the same name/
So peep the D in the initials when we lane change/ okay!
(Bridge x2)
Pen to the pad, pad full of lanes/
Lanes lead the lines, lines build the name/
Name takes the plot to the crowd with a bang/
And once you hear the bang, you gon' wonder how it's made/ AOA
(2nd verse: Mich)
Here we go with another one, rhymes unapologetic/
Detroit representatives, our flow our presentation/
It goes without conversation our rhymes are not basic/
If we wrote it than you should know that it’s sacred/
Please hold you temperance don’t explode upon our entrance/
Cause we can hold a crowd and with you they lose interest/
Not sorry bro, we’re different. No borrowed flows, we’re gifted/
We’re something like Nas; “half man/half amazing!”
Refuse to be identical to the rappers before us/
but we’ll push forward the culture and make the world adore us/
It’s hard to ignore us, so you just have to witness/
us showing the world how to create timeless music/
We do it for the love and the challenge it produces/
Just in case you wondering the reason why we do it/
The damage has been done and we're sending you the tulips/
From dust you shall return, in other words? deuces....
