Verse 1 (Transit):
Iâm flippin the script, internet kids
Are now my syndicate yea
I kick it old school, like itâs kick the can
In ya neighborhood Iâm translate to paper good
I made it on the charts next time, Iâll stay for good
They call it college rap, they need a bigger campus
Iâm more than studying and partying and liver damage
They need an inner bandage when I deliver Transit
That dude you saw your favourite bands with or on your bandwith
But still, I aint no youtube hit, No Watsky thatâs nerdy like bluetooth sets
No, this aint nerdcore, and this aint hardcore
This is far more doing parkour on the Earthâs core
I went from rockinâ em open mics to gigginâ at a coffee house
While they sippinâ their Polar Ice, Iâm on defense like Gordie Howe
Rappin about hockey now? Probably just so cocky now
Soon heâll be laying the the same garbage down
Like Bobby Brown and Pacquiao rhymes
Cuz all the rappers use the same punchlines
But I wanna say more like Wyclef sayinâ one time
Yea so every city I travel in & every bit of calloused skin
I do it for the people sick of anthems with mandolins & violins
Bringinâ the beats over on top charted land
Hip-hop Alberta fam, Thatâs the circumstance
Chorus (Obey The Crooks):
Put my city on the map, put my city on my back, every time I lay a track & they keep on yellinâ out
(Transit) Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid, Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid!
So to them, I am heaven sent cuz I came with the real & I came to represent!
(Transit) Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid, Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid!
Verse 2 (Transit):
Rappers claim to be the king of 403
Like they ignoring me, & all my royalties
Like they forgot all the things Iâve done for Calgary
From formal speech to meet & greets to reppinâ the city cordially
They get caught up in their own head like coral wreath
But turn the dial to Much & Iâll show you where my chorus be
I put Calgary hip-hop in Macleanâs Magazine
While these dudes put rhinestones on their baggy jeans
You got rhymes you got lines ya thatâs great to see
But my product erases your lines, call it aging cream
& itâs not just that Iâm being boastful
Itâs that Iâm hopeful, that the West Coast of Canada will reach more than locals
& that my city will rise up as hip-hop moguls
Take the game over, Waddup Jaynova
Waddup Natural Ensemble this aint over!
Chorus (Obey The Crooks):
Put my city on the map, put my city on my back, every time I lay a track & they keep on yellinâ out
(Transit) Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid, Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid!
So to them, I am heaven sent cuz I came with the real & I came to represent!
(Transit) Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid, Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid!
Verse 3 (Madchild):
Look I donât care if you show up in a black Bentley
Your whole style sound wack & you rap gently
Chain hit ya chest, bangin on the dashboard
Kid Iâll erase your whole career like itâs a flash card
Kings over Devils, Iâm a sober rebel
Spittinâ venom like a cobra youâre below my level
Transit put his city on the map
I put my country on the map youâre like a dunce they way you rap
I hate hipsters with shape shifters & real hip-hop record crate lifters
Til fingers get blisters
The whole worldâs gone to Hell so Iâm a bandit
Itâs Mad Child & Transit smashinâ on these panzies
& Iâm an underground legend you cannot harm me,
I was messed but now Iâm straight & Iâm in Godâs army
Youth is wasted on the young, thatâs a true gift
But now the kids are listening to me to hear the truth spit!
Chorus (Obey The Crooks):
Put my city on the map, put my city on my back, every time I lay a track & they keep on yellinâ out
(Transit) Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid, Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid!
So to them, I am heaven sent cuz I came with the real & I came to represent!
(Transit) Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid, Go Get em Kid, Go Go Get em Kid!
