  ...Mixtape 2012, you done know
  I’m wondering where the day went
  The clouds have me shrouded in grey but
  I’m still out pounding the pavement, word
  Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper
  Founded a label now I’m drowning paperwork
  But now the crew I’m down with found an escape from work
  And I love it ‘cause that what your hard work gets you
  My heart bursts through my chest I’m rescued
  So forget what the rest do
  I’m blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it
  Do I love it?
  Look at our goals
  If we never stood in the cold we wouldn’t evolve
  Used to put my crooked foot in what I couldn’t resolve
  But took control now, hard work is good for my soul
  And I love it, growing through life and stress
  Knowing the fight is just half of self-imposing our righteousness
  Contract owners and licenses, showbiz in lights we’re just
  Searching for that moment of pricelessness
  B-Boys, I met you at the bus stop
  We had nothing but the tuck shop
  We had school ties, the sky and the hilltops
  Now we’re all grown up and it’s still about hip-hop
  I love it, I love it
  Five days deep in the booth, and spent Friday leaping through loops
  Then spent the weekend sideways, seeking the truth
  And I won’t lie they keep me on my toes these days
  But I won’t lie; hey I beat ‘em with the flow for days
  ‘Cause I love it, a pen and pads like a red rag to a bull
  I see red like Leningrad
  Raising a crowd from a vacant lot’s like, like how?
  Raising a brow on the face of god right? Right now
  And I love it a life with no regret
  No success without a price that owes a debt
  I roll the dice and despite the road ahead
  Hope that in a crisis I might just know the ledge
  But I love it like take away beer
  And a sunset to lay away our day-to-day fears
  See haters under rates us but this status takes years
  And it ain’t where we’re at; it’s how we made our way here
  B-Boys, I met you at the bus stop
  We had nothing but the tuck shop
  We had school ties, the sky and the hilltops
  Now we’re all grown up and it’s still about hip-hop
  I love it, I love it
  And we can be in a hotel, worst part of town and
  Support act, we ain’t half as loud but
  Twice as nice you can ask the crowd then
  We passing out in a departure lounge and
  I love it; I hug the road like an old friend
  Like the world won’t revolve unless we’re rolling on it
  It holds them on it, it‘s soul melodic
  And oh they want it and I love it
  Been chasing the dream
  Everyday a new place, new faces and scene
  Living out a suitcase few breaks in between
  There’s been very few days I’d loose faith in my team
  Got love far from home through the winter and summer
  No matter how hard the road or the distance I cover
  Even bitter when I’m missing my significant other
  I wouldn’t trade it for the world given another
  ‘Cause I love it…
  B-Boys…
  B-Boys, I met you at the bus stop
  I love it, I love it
  We had nothing but the tuck shop
  I love it, I love it
  We had school ties, the sky and the hilltops
  I love it, I love it
  Now we’re all grown up and it’s still about hip-hop
  I love it, I love it
  Come on
  Adelaide, London
  Melbourne, Sydney
  T Dot, New York
  Zurich
  I love it, I love it
  I love it, I love it
  I love it, I love it
