Verse 1 (Cadence):
Now may I make a mark
(Man you don't need permission)
That's easy to forget because I jockeyed for position
So long
Now I got a strong base to stand on
Need to make a mark because I need a spot to land on
Touchdown smooth
easily moving through the mazes of grey
staying away from the stray move
Wrong turns I made before I circled the block
But I'm the first to get the door when opportunity knocks
And I'll be gracious
face this
head on I never stop If it's spacious
I'd be glad to bring a friend to the top
And even if it's cramped I'm glad I brought 'em
'Cause I remember who was there
when I was dwelling at the bottom
looking up to the underground
scattered platters around me
lost in the four
until some one came and found me
when the one comes around
is when I'm pounding the concrete
and I fall into Cadence
'cause you know that I'm on beat
So on the one Pitch strikes
We're coming in twos like an ark
So play the chorus
Then Pitch
Make your damn mark
Verse 2 (Pitch):
Yo Cade can I mark it?
(Yeah, Pitch you get it started)
Old tracks like Craig Mack
So you know I get retarded
Strive for longevity
rap career brevity
science onn the track as if I'm guided by telemetry
Tag it on the wall like graffiti of the past
spray painting with my voice
so you know my ISH is bound to last
like a fossil Giant as collosal
Blow up the tape deck like it was mission impossible
No need to play the thug I ain't the one to pack a pistol
This jam will leave a mark like a hammer and a chisel
Take it for granite
it's written in the stone
Lyrics are the temple
