[Verse 1: Ace Lover and Oktober]
[Ace Lover]
From the womb to the tomb, eleventh of June
'81, who thought growing up would be so difficult?
For real, the lifestyle was kind of ill
But that’s enough about me. Ok', tell ‘em a bit about yourself
[Oktober]
OK, the most that I can say is all that I know. I done
Came a long way, still a mission to go. At least I
Think so—nobody really knows fo' sho’
Getting mine in my time. Give ‘em mo' info, yo
[Ace Lover]
Info? No problemo. Let me tell
Yo' ass about the ghetto celebo—hello!
I'm Ace Lover. How you doing? I've been through things
You couldn't imagine, and I'ma keep continuing
[Oktober]
Continue like end-to-end Wildstyle paintings
The foundation. Now look at what we're facing:
Mad stress bumrushing open doors, but I
Got a word of advice, and make sure that you

[Hook: Ace Lover, Samples with Scratches by Spier1200, and (Oktober)]
[Ace Lover]
Go for yours
I got mine in my time

[Verse 2: Ace Lover]
Ace Lover's
Eggshell hatched back in '81. I was crazy, son
Used to thump in the elementary gymnasium
Hyperactive but always laughing. Back in
'87, I used to listen to Michael Jackson
My old man wasn't around. Baby Ace Lover
Watching Don Francisco with his mother—just the next
Generation. '89, super cool
Got introduced to something that blew my mind
'93, started to rhyme. Skip ahead in time
'97, paying dues, and out of water's wine
'99, here, ready for my debut. Me and
My brethren's “Lucky 7,” heavy rotation on turntables
Ever since then, I tried to keep it consistent. In this song
There's a lot of different things that I forgot to mention
All you hear is “Weed Spots” all across
The nation. I'm Ace Lover, and this is “Thah Fowndation”

[Verse 3: Oktober]
Yo
In '78, Oktober second to date
New York my birthplace—I'd have it no other way. As I
Growed up fatherless, moms blessed me. I learned
Walton Avenue was not Sesame Street. From private
Elementary to high school public, sexed
Young chicks with blunts to twist, and I loved it
Cutting class, paints and graff, typical
‘Til some individuals challenged me to spit the lyrical
Flooding my notebook with rhymes for laughs
Little did I realize I was designing my craft
From open mics to Apollo amateur night, remember
This: my “Echoes” are still “Infinite,” yo
I go for mine, experience old and wiser with time
Keep it moving, the clock don't rewind
My status is groundbreaking. When your empire's
Collapsed, I take it back to the foundation

[Hook: Ace Lover and Samples with Scratches by Spier1200]
[Ace Lover] (x2)
Go for yours, go for yours
Go for yours, go for yours
I got mine, I got mine
I got mine, I got mine
