(Verse)
The same year Run-D.M.C. dropped Raising Hell, I was born to perform on a stage, as well, a baby from the 80's, raised up well, instilled with the ability to make myself, before I ever give up I'd take a belt, get it tied real high and then hang myself, even when angst was felt, I turned adversity into a verse on beats and made it sell, I stayed original in a world obsessed with trends, retreads, and clichés predictable, I can't lose any more time, every day is critical, and every move made is pivotal, I chose a career where the payment's minimal, 'cause payin' dues doesn't always bank residuals, but even when thangs were pitiful, I still made sacrifices like a Pagan ritual, I'll make a nonbeliever see the truth in this, and strike when it's right like a feisty pugilist, hip hop has a cancer and I ain't talkin' Unicus, so I'm slicin' where the tumor is, 'cause it fucked everything up and it's still confusin' us, it's a new day in the music biz, but as long as I still have a set of vocal cords, I'ma show the world what real music is
