lyrics

Verse One

I never been a part of the in crowd,
I’ve never been the type of cat to part with my inbound instincts, or intuition,
when I decided to make music it was like a mission,
my Pops is in the kitchen cooking and was forced to listen
to all the beats I’m banging out, it’s like an exhibition,
if you had asked him what I’m doing, there’s no definition,
he was the type of man who respected the old traditions
of academia, I may have made him prouder if I
focused on my books, instead I turned the music louder
with the same beat going round hour after hour
and that was every day from sunrise to sunset,
the bass kept banging like I’m playing a drum set,
replacement woofers when my Yamaha NS-10’s
used to blow like the loose girls I saw on MSN,
living up in Dennison, the loudest of the premises,
decibels deafening, while D was just developing
Washington classics, I want my shit on plastic,
and you can go ask Stixx if I was ever passive,
he would tell you that I’m the definition of active,
I was like the captain taking over this rap shit,
graphic, I could hear a beat before I made it,
it was like somebody super glued my finger to the fader,
I was looping Cal Tjader and I couldn’t be persuaded
that my time was being wasted on these musical creations.



Verse Two

Year after year I devoted myself to music,
Seven days a week I’m focusing on my acoustics,
nothing else would get my time, I kept it so exclusive,
I was mild mannered, but my style is super human,
Newman, I’m in my room and the speakers booming,
presuming that I would get a deal and distribution,
DJ Parris, DJ Stixx and I would form a union,
initially we clueless, but we were avid students,
when I got my deal, I said let's sign it as a group,
but both of them responded, said this deal is just for you,
we will back you, so know that we are always in corner,
we are your supporters, but you are the main performer,
three young brothers and we going on a journey,
stood up for each other like we criminal attorneys,
from early, nothing deterred me, cos I was firmly worthy,
hungry and thirsty, but yo’ conversely, I’m full of ideas
and couldn't wait to get a reaction from my peers,
I’m moving so swift in a fraction of my years,
I made a name from just the reaction of my ears,
and turned it into something worthwhile,
cos ever since I was small child, I had an inkling to rhyme,
wrote a poem when I was nine
and my School Teacher smiled, rewarded me with a prize
and ever since that time this music been on my mind.


Outro

Hello… yeah, but you’re calling me on my work phone.
I understand that, but you’re calling me on my work phone?
Yeah, but you’re calling me on my work phone.
