At age 13 turned fiend, dreamed nights Mcing, reciting Rapper's Delight Enticed by limelight, ambitious visions of vinyl 12 inches Since Yellowman was king albino Critiqued my form of speak On breakbeats cut on 2 Technics in a basement on 210th street House jams, parks, block parties, halls and armouries, foremost Behind the ropes you only spoke if you was dope Then formed crews, some rappers now retired My desire required more than a quiet name on flyers Inspired, remain for delf Vowing to see the day my records on the shelf Sold outta HMV and Tower, just how I dreamed Recall hearing mom scream "Wake up!" "Stay in school, take up classes, keep your grades up" But straight up since my mind's been made up to do this KCB son, ain't new to this I'm true to this
(chorus) Stay true to the game I'm out to get the fortune and fame
Time passed yet M.O. remains makin' demos Though wished behind the windows of a limo Sippin' champagne producers kicked game - expected Label execs smirked at hard work, tapes rejected Connected with Eli perfected Mikey D and I wrecked it resurrected Marked the return few expected Picked up in '89, signed but slipped up Charted, bigged up Come to find royalty time, ain't see a dime For promo shows, though exposed felt cheap Kicked out the crib to the streets of Medina where I'd sleep Starvin' regardless Persist beyond exist to do this Sons is clueless dun, ain't new to this I'm true to this
(chorus)
The script flips, '96 relationships consist of wisdoms Wishin' I'd quit, insufficient funds Silver tongues strung on drums, A1 yet still unsung Adapt and overcome the aggravation of years ' and heads fakin' jax sayin' Is it worth the frustration? It ain't payin' considerably Lacking consistency, absentee in an industry Exceeding MC's yet keep strivin' to maintain Too late in the game to change direction Sustain flexin' dialect tongue blessin' sessions Progress in this profession, knowledge the lesson Let it be known never forgettin' This ain't no dream Although it may seem like at times the mic's grabbed up on scenes True indeed, born to succeed My mind is made up to do this KCB son, ain't new to this I'm true to thisTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
