| This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe | |
| This style, they say music gives new life | |
| From a source inside that is forever flowin' | |
| This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show | |
| This life, I've been given a gift tonight | |
| And for that, I vow to be a vessel | |
| [Gift of Gab - Verse One] | |
| I didn't have to be, given the gift to rip | |
| I'll never master me, I know that it's from Him | |
| or Her or It, dimensions that sit | |
| Waitin' to sift through me, I fall short, still it hits me swift | |
| I didn't have to see, I coulda hit the lick | |
| I coulda drifted it quick, I coulda quit so quick | |
| It's really a trip, I guess I was picked | |
| I don't know what I did to deserve a ride like this (Damn!) | |
| I didn't have to eat, I coulda been so thin | |
| I didn't have to be, quoting these sentences | |
| I didn't have to reap, the work put in but then | |
| even the work in itself was such a blessin | |
| I didn't have to see, the planet lip to lip | |
| I didn't have to make, a livin' writ to writ | |
| I didn't have to dream and then begin to live it | |
| And for that, I vow to be a vessel | |
| [Chorus] | |

| [Verse Two] | |
| I give thanks for my rhymin' ability | |
| I don't front like it's not a responsibility | |
| I can open a mind, if the youth will listen to me | |
| I'm not goin' to front, like I'm on some killin' spree | |
| and as hard as the times are, God is livin' through beats | |
| that come not from minds, but that travel through spiritual reasons | |
| Some of the time, I feel like, it's not even me | |
| No mon-ey can buy gateways to infinity | |
| Still I'm hun-gry to shine, when I know I should let it be | |
| I want but I have, every single thing that we need | |
| So help me align self with soul and then I'll be free | |
| To sculpt and design verbal styles and experience freedom | |
| [Chorus] | |

| [Chief Xcel samples] | |
| "Let go, do what's in front of you" | |
| "Then, let go, then do what's in front of you" | |
| [Verse Three] | |
| This ain't leisure, although it feels | |
| It is a duty, a way to live, another way to give | |
| Another way to just, have communion | |
| With the source of the sun and moon and, a way to pay the bills | |
| Displayin' skills, I take it REAL serious | |
| The vibe's so mysterious, not just one more day to kill | |
| ..and I could lose my connection | |
| if I do not respect it enough, fffade away it will | |
| Day to day it gives energies | |
| That replenish me, if I believe and I say it will | |
| and act on it, 'cause action is the key to freedom | |
| Only way to be a leader, lead by the way you live | |
| [Chorus 3X] | |
