Let me take some time out to reminisce on the past Name plates on your belts, pagers beeping in class Teachers teaching after speaking, seeing we leave in a flash Beats are beating in my headphones and I'm down on some cash Not enough to buy a truck but what i needed was less Heard the about tape by see indeed it was fresh I got that, i got this, i reminisce on a smile Splicing a??? set together or head in a pile Innocent child, quiet and cool, i draw in school Brought my pages markers, mazes, markers and rulers, Meditating like a Buddhist, animating through my music Demonstrating what I'm doing as i calculated movement Celebrating, elevating, levitating you through it So you could to a few trips have some beautiful taste Mr.plants who caught me writing He ripped up the page, once he saw me at a show and i had ripped up the stage Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that y'all Its like that, Insight, and I'm having a ball. I grew up in the city, played ball in the park Love being (?????) in popular landmarks I used to go beyond the trains and play arcade games Street fighter had me good, Ryu could shoot out a flame When i was like 7 i was spending my last buck What i wanted was a quarter for the train i took I had to walk but hey, it was cool back then I got older got around and got scooped up by friends Wasn't a tax paying citizen i had no plan My pops used to pick me up in an old blue van I know he noticed that my friends had an unusual strut "Who's the kid with the big jacket and funny haircut" That's Adonas, he came to pick up on Maxwell He rap well, i didn't rap just to rebel. I propel to excel in fidels of (???) Rebels repel, i foretell on doing well... "Do you remember how it was when we were not who we are? when people didn't think we would get this far?" "Straight from the black-alack, comes the acrobatic, and you were saying i would never be phat, remember that?!" Time passed by started getting some gigs The world sorta seemed smaller before it seemed big Some people thought i was wasting my time Caught it back and still don't even realize that what i was making was magic An era that is classic as defined by youth Is the immediate ingredient you find in truth Im alining the proof Designed useful melodies Energy that i use fused with ooze of Ecstasy My recipe is not a secret I speak it But some people, when i show em still they don't wanna believe it Just hold on and keep on reaching Open up and let the breeze in You could learn from the woods spinning leaves on the trees And, now its time for my conclusion Shine and keep it moving, improving steady, and doing what you're doing I express through rhymes mixed clear with fly traps So this is dedicated, to Kick Snares and Hi-Hats.
