[Intro: Joey Bada$$]
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch as I'm channeling on
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch—
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Channelin' on, not just your TV screen
My mind be tapped into the overflow and conscious streams
So count your streams, I hit 'em with the wrath of God
You never, ever seen a motherfucker rap this hard
I be the rap mogul, the black Picasso
Paint it from the soul, never slowed the cash flow, so I
Stack slow and attack-attack flows
Never stat quo, think it's time I let my ass show, hold up
'Cause ain't nothing averagе 'bout Joe
Bitch, ain't shit funny like I'm rapping bad jokes
I'm so nicе though, I play the whole game in iso
Flow maestro, fuck a mic check, this a mic choke
It's the motherfucking rap god
So don't you other motherfuckers try to act hard
I'm from a place where them bullets travel really far
This for my niggas posted up right on the boulevard
Who wanted smoke? My niggas pull up when the record's on
I'll have ten niggas pull your card 'til your deck is gone, they taking notes
Envy every time my record's on, you 'ready know
Niggas try to peep the repertoire
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$, Statik Selektah, & Q-Tip]
So you on point, Stat? That's all the time, kid
You on point, Stat? That's all the time, Tip
You on point, Stat Diddy? One time for the city
I'ma make these niggas hear me, I'ma make these niggas feel me
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch as I'm channeling on
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch as I'm channeling on
[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
Look, really it's no biggie
I'm the illest in the city, word to my nigga Diddy
Word to 50, word to Nas, word to Jay, he's been a problem
Like your favorite sitcom show, you gotta watch him
Raise the frequencies up a couple notches
I hit them back so hard they straightening their postures
Since 2012, had these niggas opening their chakras
Now a nigga living where them doctors be at
Ain't need a doctor's degree for that, just a hot-ass beat clap
From my nigga Stat Diddy, watch me blaze the booth
Like that shit is Rap City, bitches fuck with me
'Cause I raps witty, I'm so raw, still, I rap willy
Silly rabbit, I mean really, it's a bad habit
I mean really though, Joey never been average
Yeah, he kills average rappers still
This track and me, that'll be a rapper's will
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$, Statik Selektah, & Q-Tip]
You on point, Stat? That's all the time, kid
You on point, Stat? That's all the time, Tip
You on point, Stat Diddy? One time for the city
I'ma make these niggas hear me, I'ma make these niggas feel me
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch as I'm channeling on
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch as I'm channeling on
[Outro: Q-Tip & Joey Bada$$]
You on point, Stat?
You on point, Stat?
You on point, Stat?
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch as I'm channeling on
I be so in tune they be watching me, watching me
Watch, watch—
