| It was only 4 years ago
|
| Cy would drive through the snow
|
| Park his Rav up on Dyckman Ave
|
| Just so we could go to Morroco’s
|
| See thats where i learned to mix
|
| He was a master of his craft
|
| And he knew I had a gift
|
| I could spit… but so could half of New York
|
| He told me «always come real & leave the rest to the lord» said that «fame can
|
| be a double egde sword» made me hit the right note every single fucking time I
|
| record! |
| Now its take 82 & i’m sweating in the booth he said «Saint,
|
| take a break?» |
| I said «I don’t play to lose»
|
| He said got it stand by then we took it back to work you see I never follow
|
| trends I would rather do it first
|
| And mama said Im capable of anything so I responded back that I’m gonna Paint
|
| the Universe
|
| I need serenity, fonto & some hennesee
|
| Some people who gonna value me
|
| Who ARE who they pretend to be
|
| Look
|
| See my circle getting smaller
|
| But my crowd getting bigger
|
| Cut some people off yeah I had to pull the trigger
|
| Rapper turned to singer
|
| Or at least they tried
|
| Til they heard me scream rage
|
| Yellin «MOTHERFUCK THE 5!»
|
| And I’m too young too die but I’m ready like Notorious
|
| Sleep is for the weak that’s word to Belly life is glorious
|
| I don’t need a major deal or a fucking co sign
|
| I knew that I had the skill back when it was 09
|
| A raw talent just waiting to find balance
|
| The alpha of my pack
|
| Im waiting on my challenge
|
| I said welcome to the jungle
|
| I was born to rumble
|
| A little bit of cocky with a little bit of humble
|
| If you don’t know the play get the fuck up out my huddle
|
| Saint Almighty this is how the cookie crumble
|
| If I get the rock I guarantee I never fumble
|
| If we talking bands then let me hit you with a drum roll
|
| One eye open yeah that’s how I gotta stay
|
| And I know it got confusing when you started making bank
|
| Off some shit that was making with this mother fucker Doug
|
| Ironic that that schemy man was really just the plug
|
| Connected me to you
|
| And getting me in touch with my roots
|
| And the truth
|
| As I battled all my demons in the booth
|
| As my friends were wearing suits making money
|
| And that shit would make me work even harder man I was hungry
|
| You took me under your wing
|
| Taught a youngn' the ropes
|
| I was down in the corner
|
| You really gave me some hope
|
| I look at you as a king
|
| Musical father figure
|
| Still with Cy Hi
|
| Just know that we fuckin miss ya |
