| [00:13.00]1 - Insight ] |
|
| [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. |
