[Intro: Capital STEEZ]
The only mission is get paid
Ever since 5th grade the STEEZ been as sharp as a switchblade
Had the Will Smith fade
And a Swiss made army knife
Just in case the nigga trynna start a fight

[Hook: Ducati]

[Verse 2: Capital STEEZ]
The only mission is get paid
Ever since 5th grade the STEEZ been as sharp as a switchblade
Had the Will Smith fade
And a Swiss made army knife
Just in case the nigga trynna start a fight
But that was back when I could hardly write
And my niggas nowadays getting caught up in the party life
I couldn't ride a bike or fly a kite
Now I'm blowing up like dynamite and swinging like Iron Mike
With a Pacquiao boxing style or Cool J in '91 when
Mama said that i came out
Beat headphones, the hating I just block it out
The half-cabs the same color as a crocodile
So you can catch me in the flyest pair
We straight shittin' on 'em, so It's the time of year
Bad boy baby, put me in the highest chair
You would need mountain-gear just to climb up here

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Capital STEEZ (real name Courtney Everald Dewar Jr.) was a member of a little known rap group called The 3rd Kind, along with Jakk the Rhymer, early in his rap career. In 2011, he and Powers Pleasant formed the Pro Era crew, with STEEZ rapidly emerging as one of its most prominent members. He was also the one that introduced one of his partners in rhyme, Joey Bada$$, to MF DOOM’s music in high school.

The number ‘47’ is a symbol that is omnipresent throughout STEEZ’s work and that of Pro Era; as per a Fader Magazine article, he felt it was a perfect expression of balance in the world, representing the tension between the fourth chakra—the heart—and the seventh—the brain.

STEEZ passed away on December 24, 2012, at the age of 19 from an apparent suicide, but his soul lives on through his powerful music.
