[00:01.815]Its like that y'all
[00:19.135]Its like that, Insight, and I'm having a ball.
[00:21.825]Let me take some time out to reminisce on the past
[00:24.202]Name plates on your belts, pagers beeping in class
[00:26.553]Teachers teaching after speaking,
[00:27.755]seeing we leave in a flash
[00:29.113]Beats are beating in my headphones
[00:30.446]and I'm down on some cash
[00:31.569]Not enough to buy a truck but what i needed was less
[00:33.946]Heard the about tape by see indeed it was fresh
[00:36.375]I got that, i got this, i reminisce on a smile
[00:38.831]Splicing a??? set together or head in a pile
[00:41.260]Innocent child, quiet and cool, i draw in school
[00:43.742]Brought my pages markers, mazes, markers and rulers,
[00:46.250]Meditating like a Buddhist, animating through my music
[00:48.784]Demonstrating what I'm doing as i calculated movement
[00:51.239]Celebrating, elevating, levitating you through it
[00:53.773]So you could to a few trips have some beautiful tunes
[00:56.150]Mr. Plants who caught me writing
[00:57.691]He ripped up the page,
[00:58.762]once he saw me at a show and i had ripped up the stage
[01:01.166]Its like that y'all
[01:18.459]Its like that, Insight, and I'm having a ball.
[01:21.045]I grew up in the city, played ball in the park
[01:23.370]Love being (?????) in popular landmarks
[01:25.825]I used to go beyond the trains and play arcade games
[01:28.359]Street fighter had me good, Ryu could shoot out a flame
[01:30.736]When i was like 7 i was spending my last buck
[01:33.218]What i wanted was a quarter for the train i took
[01:35.804]I had to walk but hey, it was cool back then
[01:38.286]I got older got around and got scooped up by friends
[01:40.715]Wasn't a tax paying citizen i had no plan
[01:43.014]My pops used to pick me up in an old blue van
[01:45.652]I know he noticed that my friends had an unusual strut
[01:48.082]"who's the kid with the big jacket and funny haircut?"
[01:50.720]That's Adonas, he came to pick up on Maxwell
[01:53.149]He rap well, i didn't rap just to rebel.
[01:55.553]I propel to excel in fidels of (???)
[01:58.348]Rebels repel, i foretell on doing well...
[02:05.479]"Do you remember how it was when we were not who we are?
[02:08.274]when people didn't think we would get this far?"
[02:15.641]"straight from the black-alack, comes the acrobatic,
[02:17.887]and you were saying i would never be phat, remember that?!"
[02:20.656]Time passed by started getting some gigs
[02:23.007]The world sorta seemed smaller before it seemed big
[02:25.620]Some people thought i was wasting my time
[02:27.683]and still don't even realize that what i was making was magic
[02:30.348]Caught it back
[02:30.661]An era that is classic as defined by youth
[02:32.699]Is the immediate ingredient you find in truth
[02:35.102]Im alining the proof
[02:36.304]Designed useful melodies
[02:37.714]Energy that i use fused with ooze of Ecstasy
[02:40.692]My recipe is not a secret
[02:42.077]I speak it
[02:42.834]But some people,
[02:43.357]when i show em still they don't wanna believe it
[02:45.159]Just hold on and keep on reaching
[02:46.700]Open up and let the breeze in
[02:48.189]You could learn from the woods spinning leaves on the trees
[02:50.540]And, now its time for my conclusion
[02:52.055]Shine and keep it moving, improving steady,
[02:53.884]and doing what you're doing
[02:55.112]I express through rhymes mixed clear with fly traps
[02:57.567]So this is dedicated, to Kick Snares and Hi-Hats.
[03:04.908]"Do you remember how it was when we were not who we are?
[03:07.651]when people didn't think we would get this far?"
[03:15.122]"straight from the black-alack, comes the acrobatic,
[03:17.316]and you were saying i would never be phat, remember that?!"
