[00:01.19]'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
[00:05.26]I sat there for an inspiring artist
[00:07.02]Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
[00:10.35]Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
[00:11.79]Pushing daises up
[00:13.73]And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
[00:15.66]Shit on since the first show
[00:16.75]But we turned feces to fertilizer
[00:19.21]So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
[00:23.25]Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
[00:25.46]Too young to drive
[00:27.80]But live hip hop
[00:28.99]And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
[00:33.25]Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends loved
[00:37.34]And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
[00:41.20]We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother ****er like
[00:43.70]
[00:44.14]So take a step back
[00:45.21]And a breath in
[00:46.30]Let it out now
[00:47.16]Put your chin up
[00:48.60]You can do it tiger
[00:49.85]You a man now
[00:51.21]And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
[00:52.58]
[00:53.41]So break ourselves down
[00:55.41]And build ourselves up in disappointment
[00:58.00]How fragile we are
[01:00.77]So fragile we are, we just don't show it
[01:02.00]Shake up this town
[01:05.82]And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
[01:08.47]So sexy we are
[01:11.25]So sexy we are, we just don't know it
[01:13.44]
[01:24.89]This is what you wanted right?
[01:26.24]How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?
[01:28.66]How many punishments endured for ****ing up in school?
[01:31.04]How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
[01:33.84]My point exactly
[01:34.49]But you knew you had a spark, did you?
[01:36.25]Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
[01:38.66]Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
[01:41.17]Stealing verses with that cash's clay confidence
[01:43.94]Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
[01:46.54]You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
[01:49.13]Just do your thing man
[01:50.96]
[01:51.36]So take a step back
[01:52.07]And a breath in
[01:52.77]Let it out now
