I'm a lil ill when I spit with it,
You know I got that skill still and I won't take shit,
My pen leaking ink for the line I haven't even wrote yet,
Tryna perfect all the time, improving my rhyme, it's that skill set,
If I can take a second to be honest and say what I know,
There are very few people that care and they show,
From the greats like 50 to newcomers like Revilo,
There ain't no telling where this game will go.

I know what I say really don't be making difference,
But I try my best to put meaning into every sentence,
I thought the greats had fell until Em released "Little Engine",
Then Nate with "TURN MY BACK" and the respect he sending,

Let's take it back to '97 with Wu Tang and "The Projects",
Before corporations ran by racists and pill poppin execs,
Way before the time Miley hopped off the plane at LAX,
Everybody out here talking bout buying flowers,
Ain't no one worried about how they waste their hours,
People way too busy taking money showers,
They be tryna control what each race empowers,
I ain't tryna say that I wish I had superpowers,
But I wanna help everyone I can, it's a thing called kindness,
I don't have full sight, I'd do it with the blindness.

I know what I say really don't be making difference,
But I try my best to put meaning into every sentence,
I thought the greats had fell until Em released "Little Engine",
Then Nate with "TURN MY BACK" and the respect he sending,

Tinie Tempah we listen for the hell of it,
Ludacris yeah we know that you can spit some shit,
I'd make a list of names, but I won't ever make it,
I got this feeling inside, it's pretty strong and I can't shake it,
Tupac was an inspiration to many, and we all lost him,
One of raps true greats now the genre stands on the rim.

Look I can't promise things will ever change,
But I'll be here for anyone, at anytime,
And I don't care about this male bravado,
When we die we all just bones though,
There's a lotta people I gotta thank, that I know,
So I'm gonna sit here and list em.

First off I wanna thank Sara, yeah you always been there for me,
Then main man Revilo, he's a great mentor and it's great to see,
I wanna thank my brothers cause I know that I ain't easy,
But man they love to see the best of me,
But my next thanks goes to one,
One that is equal to none,
I wanna thank God for giving me this wit and skill,
And for showing me the "Power Of Will"
