[Verse 1: Menelik]
Aside from drums in the back I like a hi-hat
More rhythm to blues that I chime wit rap
My greater calling, sound wave free falling
Blissful acts my pockets keep on staling
But own the set up so my vision ain't outcast
How I protect from temp artists I outlast
DIY my circumference require
From engineering to videos the mics on fire
And Bluebird, so the garden is at peace
Of which I planted so it roots beneath
Surface thinkers mapped out like flashing blinkers
Preserving quality art, new era incas
For light on tv, which the dream was sold
From the same hoods where those without the means will hold
Memphis minnie where my ancest is
I'm oakland living hardly cross that bridge
To TL's where tree sells and pills pop
Cocaine with no veins and white snot
Its so chill yet so ferocious
Picked apart the mind blocks we cope with
Battle scarred and war wounds before june
Sun rise the next day we all bloom
Let it shine, let it shine I tell you
A life filled wit things you love will never fail you
Weekends here the whole world cheer
Like we set from problems until next year
Grip the henn, the current is turned up
And if we don't win the city is burnt up
Let the sweat drip from my fore head
Clocked in for years till I drop to floor dead
Thats my a**umption for the cost of the life
I proofread recite then lay it down right
All in my hands since i control the panel
Like a bike missing bars i built some handles
To shift momentum and drive us straight
To the flashin light center stages that await
