Years In The Making |
| There’s a lot of cats didn’t see this one comin |
| Lotta cats not gon’understand |
| Never saw the path that we walked |
| You run that joint you did on the radio that night |
| (Oh) Let people know, do this one for the interviews |
| Do it for the people, Years In The Making |
| Yo, my first verse, from '90 to '94 |
| Mostly peepin cats’styles out and hittin the floor |
| A little bit, in '91 that’s when we got down |
| Different sides of town, on the bus I made rounds |
| I was involved in graffiti heavily |
| My people were Self, Tau and Freck RIP |
| At night I heard beats next door by QD III |
| Inspiration, destiny, Ev producer/MC |
| Now at this point, my face wasn’t known and unfamilar |
| And when you look how I do, most cats won’t say they feel ya So I was mostly, humbled by rejection |
| But in my heart, I knew my shit would always pass inspection |
| Correction, travel east and hit the inner section |
| Hip hop shop to rock, blow the spot wit Hex and Pen One |
| Also Iristyle, a cat who worked there |
| I said I wanna bust first he said It’s all fair |
| I went, he went, you can’t beat em, join em I said As a team in the game, we’ll leave em maimed |
| He agreed, so we did till '94 |
| Till we had to change our name from the one we had before |
| Now at this point, we were five years in the making |
| Previously vain, graffiti oriented, breakin |
| From cops to shop owners, rack and paint, stealin sketch books |
| Mad vinyl, designs in corridors |
| Then it was mics, mixers, tracks, and greenbacks |
| Kingston, 12 gear and equipment on racks |
| Imagery Battlehymns |
| Whattup to Kendall, Swift, and Redman |
| Everyone who helped bounce checks, but not my plan (Sorry) |
| Business and friends, this was my first introduction |
| How foul it is when it comes to this biz |
| Of music, 1995 was mad confusin |
| '6 it cleared up, independent geared up Peace to Ben, 'Fari, and Alchemist |
| Third Degree type heat, brought on Babu to complete the list |
| Dis the doors, more red but on tours |
| The territories come, blunts burn our damn floors |
| Since '98, shit’s been lookin more bright |
| Work The Angles round the globe from Main Events at night |
| '99 approach millennium, The Platform will drop |
| Evidence, Iriscience, Babu, the world gets shocked! |
| (Evidence) |
| Haha! |
| Yeah! |
| We sendin this out to every obstacle that made us stronger |
| (That's right) Uh-huh |
| Sendin this out to the poison that made the antidote |
| Dilated Wild Style |
| Evidence, that’s all you need to know |
| Years in the making, |
| (What's goin on, ten years in the making) |
| Years in the making, how many? |
| (Ten) |
| (Almost) Ten years in the making |
| Shit, it’s overnight right? |
| (Not really) We’ll see |
