featuring Hired Gun on vocals

lyrics

Its like the siren sung, the wire runs from the mic, it's like the entire sum
is greater than the whole of it's parts, check where the fire's from
and emanating, we're ever waiting for this moment to come
no hesitation, staying taut just like the skin on a drum
I done stayed committed, waited, given every ounce of energy
remember, be yourself don't try to be nobody else
man, woman or child, stand firm with a smile
stay strong and never let on, see, you're dead wrong
if you think that I wouldn't hit back, got the pen, pad, ink black,
a pair of headphones to rock over fresh tones when I left home
at the age of 18, to make cream? nah
I got some other aspirations so I think y'all all for waiting so long
so many trials and tribulations had you wondering debating,
if we was ever gonna make it, we're here this year

(scratched "Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some
Load up the mic and bust one" -Nas)

Oppress the dominant when addressing the continent
a shade above the competent never was great with compliments
content considered conscious sick of the slick too quick to comment,
but to say they're common would be obvious
Constant elevation a promise, honest to God
Better I honor the planet me an peace peas in a pod
Its me against the Odds, it seems it would be even since I'm seen as Bizarre
ever since my teens, when I was rocking to guitars
But now it's the norm, true to form, my music tighter
then a freshmen dorm,
I'm a writer who's a step beyond event horizons
Standout without a Heisman, no handouts
a man about enterprising here to make Favellas rising
Timing essential, so I follow metronomes with scribbled poems
until I truly fulfill all my potential this year
