[Verse 1]
Its been a long time coming man I finally feel
That everything that I been waitin for is finally here
I see the stage see the lights see my name in signs
Five mics from the source they respect my rhymes
Finally I feel as though I reached my peak this time
I feel the people know there’s no equal wen it comes to grind
Now think of hip hop and lemme know wat comes to mind
Im thinking word play a sick flow and them lyrics are fire
Im thinking cold play and country that shit inspires
Im thinking famine and poverty what about high tide
Im thinking hurricanes tsunamis wat about apartide
H side, Suicide who the hell am I to tell u wat u feelin inside
One thing u cant hide is that feelin u got u cant deny
When the crowd needs more hits and u the dude inline that can get em supply
That’s when it all shifts instead of sellin crack u become the buy
First he was wack now is is back and the best yes he is I
[Verse 2]
A million Sold now im moving at a lazy pace
I aint hungry I can do a song with baby face
Lollipop maybe remake on amazing grace
Never thinking bout the effect on my fan base
And I aint talking bout them dick riders who but u shit to listen
Man im talking bout them real niggas that ride to it
Never got to talk to they pops so they sigh to it
Pull aside missing they niggas that died and cry to it
And I don’t believe that commercial is selling out
To be for real it gives u a better deal on u reaching out
But while u reaching just make sure that u keep preachin how
Niggas in the system can make it without em leachin out
Stay up in ur classes take it from me children I seen wat u seen
I get it believe children look, I aint saying nothing new
Education is the key to the doors that they lockin on u holla
[Verse 3]
The third verse comes so damn fast I never knew that the time would last or wouldn’t last
Picture my present, put off my past and say a prayer for the futurous cast for starters I
Listened to biggie, pac and to Jay
The godson really showed me the way
Lupe gave me faith for today
Lebron brought back wat air MJ took away with a way goodbye to the game
Reluctant to say Black album the kingdom come came it was the darkest of days who woulda thought in the back were the rays and denzels portray of Frankie would be the rebirth of Jay (nope)
Never in my mind did I imagine or bother to fathom a son of hip hop would father the mantle
Set the standard from pinto to phantom the king is back **** I hope to hold a candle to you
