DL Incognito - Make A Difference lyrics

[Verse 1: DL Incognito] So many tracks, so many tours, so many very late nights They say I'm nice, but far from living up to the hype I pen my life, to me my paper trail is alright But outta sight is outta mind, being bright don't make you shine These lyrics don't get you dimes like nines and crimes do Rhymes won't get you signed like walls in bathrooms I got dudes that did dirt, we all love, we all hurt I must die, to give birth, to this stone cold world I'm first generation Haitian mixed with the French I'm in the course to be the boss, no dollars, no cents Workin men, workin hard, for the man, can't pay rent Do you want food on the table, or a cinnamon Benz? I say that's not what hip-hop represents, this past tense Gotta recoup, pick off on every Jada advance Wanna be a million strong, like the army of ants It was destined, not chance, that I'm leading this band And this love, not romance, that put a ring on her hand And when I dance, the music got me trapped in a trance And when I go, I'll finally see my mommy again Yo in the heavens, I miss you mommy, 24-7 [Chorus: I'm here to make a difference I'm here to make a difference.] [Verse 2: DL Incognito] How can I speak gibberish, when I live this, so vivid My story's not from rags to riches, its of persistence Chosen to go the distance, never needed a**istance Enter without permission, I overstay my welcome It's so seldom is a rapper of my caliber created Once in a blue moon, yet the audience is jaded Oblivious to greatness, till I exit the stage and The void that I leave can't be filled by any patron With life's education, a love affair with music Ya'll know what my point of view is, but my records are useless Too much time spent on this topic, so dear to my heart I think not, I'm wishin I could press restart Cause the blind leadin the blind, gotta hold me some laws I'll take your mind back by force, and order's restored My vocal chords are used for more than just bravado Rip from vinyl to Cerrado with 40's and crackin' bottles There are no role models, it's up to the parents To teach their kids to understand the music they're hearin Cuz hip-hop was created, for social awareness You don't want what happened in Paris to take place here [Chorus]
