[00:20.72] |
Let me take some time out to reminisce on the past |
[00:23.14] |
Name plates on your belts, pagers beeping in class |
[00:25.56] |
Teachers teaching after speaking, |
[00:26.93] |
seeing we leave in a flash |
[00:27.96] |
Beats are beating in my headphones |
[00:29.37] |
and I'm down on some cash |
[00:30.63] |
Not enough to buy a truck but what i needed was less |
[00:32.98] |
Heard the about tape by see indeed it was fresh |
[00:35.54] |
I got that, i got this, i reminisce on a smile |
[00:37.82] |
Splicing a??? set together or head in a pile |
[00:40.36] |
Innocent child, quiet and cool, i draw in school |
[00:42.90] |
Brought my pages markers, mazes, markers and rulers, |
[00:45.27] |
Meditating like a Buddhist, animating through my music |
[00:47.95] |
Demonstrating what I'm doing as i calculated movement |
[00:50.34] |
Celebrating, elevating, levitating you through it |
[00:52.71] |
So you could to a few trips have some beautiful tunes |
[00:55.23] |
Mr. Plants who caught me writing |
[00:57.17] |
He ripped up the page, |
[00:57.91] |
once he saw me at a show and i had ripped up the stage |
[01:00.32] |
Its like that y'all |
[01:18.75] |
Its like that, Insight, and I'm having a ball. |
[01:20.11] |
I grew up in the city, played ball in the park |
[01:22.46] |
Love being (?????) in popular landmarks |
[01:24.98] |
I used to go beyond the trains and play arcade games |
[01:27.60] |
Street fighter had me good, Ryu could shoot out a flame |
[01:29.92] |
When i was like 7 i was spending my last buck |
[01:32.35] |
What i wanted was a quarter for the train i took |
[01:34.85] |
I had to walk but hey, it was cool back then |
[01:37.22] |
I got older got around and got scooped up by friends |
[01:39.71] |
Wasn't a tax paying citizen i had no plan |
[01:42.18] |
My pops used to pick me up in an old blue van |
[01:44.67] |
I know he noticed that my friends had an unusual strut |
[01:47.61] |
\"who's the kid with the big jacket and funny haircut?\" |
[01:49.76] |
That's Adonas, he came to pick up on Maxwell |
[01:52.20] |
He rap well, i didn't rap just to rebel. |
[01:54.76] |
I propel to excel in fidels of (???) |
[01:57.03] |
Rebels repel, i foretell on doing well... |
[02:05.34] |
\"Do you remember how it was when we were not who we are? |
[02:07.21] |
when people didn't think we would get this far?\" |
[02:14.99] |
\"straight from the black-alack, comes the acrobatic, |
[02:17.27] |
and you were saying i would never be phat, remember that?!\" |
[02:19.61] |
Time passed by started getting some gigs |
[02:21.85] |
The world sorta seemed smaller before it seemed big |
[02:24.46] |
Some people thought i was wasting my time |
[02:26.95] |
Caught it back |
[02:26.82] |
and still don't even realize that what i was making was magic |
[02:29.35] |
An era that is classic as defined by youth |
[02:31.77] |
Is the immediate ingredient you find in truth |
[02:34.21] |
Im alining the proof |
[02:35.44] |
Designed useful melodies |
[02:36.82] |
Energy that i use fused with ooze of Ecstasy |
[02:39.34] |
My recipe is not a secret |
[02:41.20] |
I speak it |
[02:42.07] |
But some people, |
[02:42.53] |
when i show em still they don't wanna believe it |
[02:44.23] |
Just hold on and keep on reaching |
[02:45.87] |
Open up and let the breeze in |
[02:47.13] |
You could learn from the woods spinning leaves on the trees |
[02:49.20] |
And, now its time for my conclusion |
[02:51.32] |
Shine and keep it moving, improving steady, |
[02:53.37] |
and doing what you're doing |
[02:54.23] |
I express through rhymes mixed clear with fly traps |
[02:56.64] |
So this is dedicated, to Kick Snares and Hi-Hats. |
