Twelfth official track of the album.

lyrics

[Intro]
I apologize in advance for this

[Verse 1]
Music from the land of opportunity
Hear the bass knocking, its shaking the whole community
Water ripples unusually, sending cracks through your jewelry
Godzilla footsteps, the beat is so like a eulogy
Presumably, because he's so fresh to death
That's why he's rapping about his women, cars, clothes, and wealth
He came from truly nothing, now he's living in good health
That's why these girls' hearts' melt and his vainful lyrics can still be felt
America loves an underdog
As long as he changes to appease
Its all for one and one for all
Like changing of seasons
And truthfully I'm one to talk
But I'm changing for reasons
That will end with me lined in chalk
Cause I'm fresh to death, oh so zombie
So Obama, so Mitt Romney
Its metaphores galore, thank you kindly
If I rep the swag, I'll have labels rushing to sign me
Just, just

[Chorus]
Just roll with the bass
Just roll with the bass
Gotta keep it coming, keep it coming
Yeah
Gotta keep it coming, keep it coming
Yeah
Gotta keep it coming, keep it coming (X2)


[Verse 2]
Had a conversation with my friend, Ace
I don't fault him for it, but he's got a mainstream taste
I can get with that some of the time, but old school is where my heart's at
See the soul if you peel the parts back
But he's got it playing, 50 million views
Damn, everybody's loving it, still that's old news
Bunch of young people partying and yeah, its looking really fun
Pretty women, pretty rims, pretty bling, pretty dumb
That's just my opinion, no disrespect
Cause I can see the appeal, watch the teenagers connect
Like a moth to the flame
And so I ask, "do I really have to be just like that to make something out of my name
Or can I make it off of being myself?"
He keeps it real, "I don't know man
Just be you, or get with the program
Can't have your cake and eat it too"
Just what I needed cause either way I'mma see it through
By being true, so I
Just, just

[Chorus]
Just roll with the bass
Just roll with the bass

Gotta keep it going, keep it going
Yeah
Gotta keep it going, keep it going
Yeah
Gotta keep it going, keep it going (X2)

[Verse 2]
Some people like to think that if Pac and Biggie were still alive
Hip Hop would have survived
Not taking into effect, they weren't legends until they died
Which means they'd be like the legends that didn't meet their demise
Either retire early or you barely hear about them
"You hear that new Biggie record" "Hell no, I'm bumpin' Drake's album
B.I.G. is a hasbeen" that's a general conversation in this alternate universe
Its scary and true, it hurts
You wanna hear something worse
Picture Tupac rapping about "swagger" wearing a snapback and skinny jeans
Over generic pop beat, Nate Dogg on the hook with autotune, by any means
Anything is better, the only way you could let it be said
That they were better off dead, but the music still lives
The unbreakable bricks that were given to us to build with
Fuck the fear-induced media, glamorized shit their feeding ya
Cause guess who might be the one to change all of that?
Forget it
Just, just

[Chorus]
Just roll with the bass
Just roll with the bass

Gotta keep it coming, keep it going
Yeah
Gotta keep it coming, keep it going
Yeah
Gotta keep it coming, keep it going (X2)

[Outro]
Gone with the wind
Going with the flow
Rolling with the bass, yeah
Yeah (X4)
