[Verse 1: Cee]
I look around and I'm seeing nary a human near me
The only rapper that I fear is in the mirror, beaming
I'm on an odyssey to bring all of my people freedom
And dog I'm grateful coz I'm feeling kinda blessed this evening, somebody let the team in
And on the real, I gotta make it while my parents breathing
To see 'em proud of me and Nosh is what I'm truly fiendin'
And man we finna buckle down because the winter freezing
Coz nothing really come before the dream the kid believe in
See everybody have something that they aspire to be
But there's always a crippling fear they don't desire to see/
But f** giving up, one life we livin' cuz
Throw it in or give it a shot, you're losing nothin' but
A little of time, and man I'm getting tired
Of putting dreams in the rhymes but sh**, it's keeping me inspired
As I visualize the big stage, sh** mayne
Ain't forgetting where the kid raised, this ain't
For the faint hearted, Big Cee, I'm a game starter
Made a lane before they came charging
With a tape and the rain fallin'
Tried to holla at the industry, they ain't callin' and so we blazed forward
Up North is where the team scorin', leaves fallin'
I swear when I was back home, I dreamed often
So I'm following my intuition
A wise man with a vision really trust his instincts, yeah so here we is, kid
Everything we gave up was more than worth it
Coz the sh** that we achieving out here is sorta perfect
Coz them ten steps back have started levelling out
And I feel it in my soul, we where we meant to be now
And so I'm growing out my beard, I'm knowing this is it
And the homies all in gear so we ain't slowing down for sh**
Pay respect to those who paved the way
I'm walking tall with a smile that never fade away, my lady waiting eh
[Hook: Cee]
From Le Belmont to the Bell Centre
Eevery journey has an element of hell's winter
And to some it's all the same, they only spelled different
I'm feeling like the dream is tangible like hell yeah bruh, hell yeah (x2)
[Verse 2: Notion]
Hell yeah the journey continues
Wonder if you could hold a grip of this sh** we been through?
Hard times and hard grind make a hard mind
Gotta fumble through these dark times to embark shine
We duckin' bullets, you hesitate to pull it
Livin' life to the fullest, fair dinkum, no bullsh**
Globe trottin', nose snottin' from the cold
TMF we different from the mould, so let 'em know
Outstanding man, the team got the branding in
Fresh clean Dr. MaD, bringin' bangers out the bag
Moved to the Screwface, for a new taste
Got some new mates, a new place and the views great
So the lab is up, mix train rollin' on
Sometimes I'm goin' off the rails, when I'm in my zone
It means perfection, TMF fleshin' cla**ics with Alaiz, yo we in ya section
514, so throw it up, Je t'aime Montreal
Nosh so globalè but so localè
The industry is unaware so oh look-out
Shout it out from the rooftops or some known lookouts
We finna take you to the top, so, don't look down
On Cloud 9 flyin' by ya, you should know by now
It's Notion & Cee, & M-A-D
We always bring it from heart L-I-V... E
Carry on tradition like Chap told me too
Keep it thorough, coz I'm 30, but feel younger dude
This hip hop is inspiring me, and liftin' the team up
We up so high homie, we don't see much
But lastin' success, pa**ion in the breath
We blastin' on ya steps, & demandin' all the cheques
And pause, coz I'm lampin' for a sec
Stand, give a salute to my Fam just to show mad respect, "from Le Belmont to the Bell Centre..."
