The Vehicle Lyrics

Verse 1 [Donwill]

My big bro said we holdin' back
It's takin' too long to make up a few songs

They sayin' the crews gone, the fans have moved on
The name has cooled of, I'm provin' em all wrong
But had to fall back in love with the font for
Myself in 94, freestylin' of of 'Do You Want More'
Juggle letters at ya jugular to get ya with
Every effort we continue gettin' better
Won't budge im steady and been doin it my way
Dondub stay ready so shit, ain't none of yall safe
Struggle bars make it feel like ours hurdle cars
You for the cause prove it then turn that bullshit off
And tune in, instead of askin where you been
Kill the assumin' homie get to googlin
It's Donwill one word no spaces
Made a name for myself and made home a few places
Made something out of nothing but ain't made enough yet
So you can make your opinions cus i got your respect

Verse 2

Verse 3 (Von Pea)

I know how to take a backseat to the music
But I built the vehicle, Brick, Donwill, Ilyas, Del Bene too
We was Moonlighting, before these sucker ass critics even knew writing
Love if you do it for the preservation
And realize its a never ending education
Yo if I forgot the ipod jack- in the car its quiet
Cause I ain't tuning into no station
Rap groups outta style, but we not out of styles
Don't you mention my name unless you giving the flowers
They, knock us down but we rebuilding the towers
Right above the path, we be on it for miles...
No back in my day shit...
Every second my second Bucktown reppin
Newer York new the laws way before Smiff n Wessun
Listen to the rap lord you about to get a blessing
2013 more bars less stressin
2014, Von sees prophetic

Verse 4 (6th Sense)

Usually I'm in the back seat with the music
Play you just a couple of jewels before I lose it
Hey, we on a roll, Rubber Souls, I produced it
(And I ain't talkin bout bein shoeless)
I'm talkin bout lookin on down from around where the roof is
To see how I'm cookin down sounds I'm infused with
A ton of fire in my jambalaya
This the soul food I'm eating when I'm uninspired
I'ma tell you my top 5 just to keep it at bay
#1 is Dilla, 2 is Pete Rock
And 3 through 5 is how I'm feeling that day
Hey, it's just something I've been meaning to say

This between me and you and we can keep it that way
Long as you tell nobody, even though I prolly
Let the cat out of the bag from a recent trip
Half the magic's the fashion I'm speaking with
You prolly wouldn't hear this verse if you just peeped the clips
Can I keep going? (Keep preaching 6th!)
Flash! The MPC's where I keep the disks
Is the beat sample free? I just plead the fifth
Rubber Souls is the ride if you need a lift
And the soul stay alive just cause we exist
Holler at Ariel because this need a mix
But where them videos at? You know we need some flicks
Shit. Tryin to divide the remainder
Lawyer got a smile, gotta provide a retainer
Even though I'm Jewish, feelin like I'm in the manger
But how can the good die young if you stranger?

Danger! (Oh my god!)
When they see us in the house they can see what we about
Speaking of homes, I'm hoping that this'll be something that you couldn't leave without
Even if it seems in doubt
This is half a dozen, and I'm counting my bread
Sitting with all of these thoughts I can't get out of my head
