I am grateful for love
Through the deepest days of chaos, love shone its light on me
Out of the mountain of despair
A stone of hope
Hope of life, life through the reflection of love
Love has kept me, built me
Created doors, nothing short of greatness
I have failed, cried, tried
Yet love got me through the strides of life
From my heart, I am grateful
GET EM!
This ain't no surprise for those who know me well
All started when I was 12
Rapping on FL
My dad earned well
But that meant nothing in KD
It could be hell
So many ordeals
Many men fell to the sound of them shells
And I'm not about this
Nah man, trauma countless
I need an outlet
Whilst the pain, frustration mounted, and I felt confounded
And I think I found it, Hip Hop
Man I love how it sounded, it kept me grounded
Look I love my books too, but compared to this? I doubt it
(Ay yo) Talk to em
Look, I love this cuz my dad loved that I loved it and always tipped his hat
I love this cuz it's yet another thing I'm better than you at
I love this, cuz it's how I met my girl
In fact, no cap
She heard my verse on the internet and said 'I want that!'
So
Thank you Lupe
Thank you Musmah, Tony Warp and Wordz
Thank you MI, Falz, Eldee, I think I heard every verse
Emilio Rojas, Yela, Chino XL, yea that's what I'm talkin about
Every member of Slaughterhouse, DJ Unk, walk it out
This ain't no façade, it even brought me close to God
So thank you Wadi for introducing me to 116 and Crae
I played them every day, like I did Ye
Like I did Sean, Wale
Like I did Chip, Skepta and Dre
Like I did TechN9ne and Rakim
Like I did Biggie, TI, Pusha, Ab-Soul, J.Cole, Dot and Drake
Thank you Wayne
Thank you Nasir Jones, Jay, and RTJ
Thank you KRSOne, Beastie Boys and Big Daddy Kane
And thank you Em, it's literally cuz of you, these words I bend
So I'm bout to go off like the bomb squad took a day off
Wanna stop me? It won't pay off like you're laid off when Tobolos goes and sprays off
Mama's angel, but on the mic I'm a demon
Meaning if you test me when I'm seething, you'll be bleeding
In fact, your reading is this evening (better run)
My foes are beasts, they gon drown if they don't float my boat
So 1 by 1? No scratch that, bring them 2 by 2, you know I flow
Man a 1 on 1 don't interest me in anyway
Cuz me v you is a mismatch like the WNBA
Hold up, run that back
The producer's asking me to slow down
How? When I'm outstanding
I got the bass pounding
I'm hounding these beats
They know me now in these streets
So when strangers surrounding, asking for my pronouns (who are you?)
I say him!, him!, I am him!
You ain't nothing but a wimp
I am the king, who the best emcees? I'll take em all out like a pimp
Dude, you don't want that verbal combat
Cuz once I dump that? Flames, like a Foreman
I'm on smoke, you catch a contact
But I take you down like an All Black
All black, yea Auerbach
Man it's useless when these dudes is pocket watching like they cue sticks
Cuz I do this by His grace, so your cries are just acoustics to my victory song
Yea I win every time, you can't refute this
And if you don't get it by now, then you're just clueless
When you think of magic, you must think about Tobi
D.Howard, he was a fav, he was like superman to me
Man or woman? Now they wonder which way I swing
I have carnal knowledge of beats, and generally I make them scream like
This is a question I've been getting endlessly
'Tobi why ain't you in the industry?'
Why ain't I in the industry? Let's see, let's see
It ain't no industry, it's more like a killer of these dreams
It's happened to many gs, and most of these was in my team, you see
You sign to a label, your album comes out in 5 years, maybe 3?
After that, 200k streams
That's like 100k in your jeans
And that ain't a lot of money to me
I make like 4 times that a week
And that's even when I'm on leave
And I can't hustle backwards g
But thankfully, these bars are never going out of fashion
So I can kick back, just spazzing for the passion
And I probably should have said this from the start
If I ever sound stupid, It's because I do this
From the heart
