| [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?!" |
