"Fresh...for you" [Verse One][Nottz]: Let me read what's in this envelope Another fan wrote: "Your boy like cooked coke I'm lovin' what you did for the rap world and all Still humble in the game, over the years ain't nothin' change Same hard a** drums, incredible ba** lines f** sugar coatin' sh**, you one of the top five, dead or alive Some dudes used to say that you wouldn't survive Cause you be samplin' and sh** but you ain't pay it no mind Cause see, some of these cats ain't got the will to survive Yeah, they beats aight, but they ain't got that drive They ain't got that consistency to taste that life That you got You you Nottz? I'll ride or die I make beats myself, any advice for the kid? Nottz I need help I've been doin' this for years with the help of nobody else It's you I look up to cause you do it for us [Chorus] [Nottz]: This is all for my fans, I do it for (YAWL) Everybody round the world, you know this for (YAWL) Real music y'all, custom made for all (YAWL) I do it for (YAWL) This is all "For you" Show love, I couldn't have done it without (YAWL) More than 10 years in the game, for this I thank (YAWL) Love still the same, ain't nothin' changed, I love (YAWL) I do it for (YAWL) This is all "for you" [Verse Two] [Nottz] I got another fan letter in the mail I can't tell who it's from, the ends faded And from the stamp I can make out it was sent from Canada Kardinal from there, so let my n***a talk about it [Kardinal Offishall]: Dear Nottz, I'm a fan, somethin' similar to Stan Just without the blond hair Every beat you ever made is dismantlin' the game Smashin' these s**ers Snoop Dogg know it, ask R. Kelly f**ers That's the best beat that he ever sang on period Who's sayin' you ain't the truth? Rap ain't hearin' it Little Brother told me, check M.O.P Busta Rhymes said Doc Dre and X to the Z Is all students of ba** lines, spittin' over history In present day time, nobody got the fire like you Beat battles, you against the whole crew It's like Superman goin' against Care Bear Blue Tryin' to be like you But I ain't got the productivity Snares are like a gun, your snares are electricity Shockin' any Fruity Loop, Logic shut down Akai's are paralyzed when raw is in town I'm a fan my n***a! [Chorus]: I do it for (YAWL) Everybody round the world, you know this for (YAWL) Real music y'all, custom made for all (YAWL) I do it for (YAWL) This is all "For you" And show love, I couldn't have done it without (YAWL) More than 10 years in the game, for this I thank (YAWL) Love still the same, ain't nothin' changed, I love (YAWL) I do it for (YAWL) This is all "for you" [Verse Three] [Nottz]: 'Bout to open another one and this came from North Cackalack "Little Brother all day n***a!" written on the back Big Pooh and Phonte, they my n***as, in fact I'ma send them a track or two, let me see what they up to [Phonte]: What up Nottz? It's Phontigga, let me rep you real quick Cause I've been checkin' for you every since Like '98 with +Extinction Level Event+ The way that +Everybody Rise+ used to set off the disc Had everybody thinkin' this is how the sh** should be Cause we ain't nod our heads, we shook our heads in disbelief [Big Pooh]: And so when youngins think you're new to the beats I run your catalog Real live in stereo, no an*log The blueprint if you're tryin' to use the ASR You know you better than the rest cause they ain't up to par [Phonte]: And you can call me +Barry Bonds+, yep here's another hit Plus you put it down on that +Life Of The Party+ sh** A pleasure and an honor to record on it Got these beat makers thinkin' "Why the f** I never thought of this?" [Big Pooh]: Because they ain't Nottz raw, homie you a shinin' star Diamond in the rough, Rapper Pooh now signin' off [Chorus]: This is all for my fans, I do it for (YAWL) Everybody round the world, you know this for (YAWL) Real music y'all, custom made for all (YAWL) I do it for (YAWL) This is all "For you" And show love, I couldn't have done it without (YAWL) More than 10 years in the game, for this I thank (YAWL) Love still the same, ain't nothin' changed, I love (YAWL) I do it for (YAWL) This is all "for you"
