I stopped writing rhymes on paper a long time ago,
cos that cannot be copy and pasted into the liner notes
and now I hardly use my MPC,
because I find it too restrictive when I’m making these beats,
but yo’ I still use a valve mic,
because my vocals record clear
and people tell me that is what it sounds like,
I got a PC and a Mac,
so I can choose between Cubase and Logic when I build a track,
the way I work is more flexible and the library of sounds available
and accessible’s tremendous, I still release music independent,
the running time of my catalogue is endless,
I’m more meticulous listening to audio
to make better music for the people who support me yo’,
so for the fans who reach out with the messages,
the Africans, Asians, English and Americans,
my people in Europe, Australia, Canadians,
I hope the music I make will bring some radiance into your life,
could be the words that I’m saying,
or the beats that are playing that can keep you maintaining,
hah’, so let me end this on a dope note,
something you can tell to all your people’s as a dope quote,
you may have heard it before, but yo’ it’s mad sick,
if Funky DL just one thing, that boy is classic... (echo)
